An upbeat anthem about the daily grind of life and a call to mindfulness / meditation to help clear away the stresses and troubles.
Musically it's adjacent to 1990's britpop like Blur or alternative like Beck.
Lyrics
A Quiet Space
By Late Blossom
Music/Lyrics: Jason Peter Shelburne
Verse:
Everybody
Wants to follow up on
Resolutions that they’ve made
In the new year
We’re all running
To-and-fro, high and low
Just to get a jump
On our career
Friends and
Brothers, sisters, mothers
And all of the others
Always got our ear
And we can’t decompress
If we always must impress
And failure is our biggest fear
Chorus:
Come to a place
Where the sun is always shining
Every cloud with a dark lining
Has blown away
We’ve got to slow the pace
‘Cause we’re constantly blinded
So we must get clear minded
In a quiet space
Verse:
All the social network sites
Headhunter invites
Trying to take our time
Flooded by email spam and
Every phishing scam
Trying to steal our dime
Bombarded by the news and
Headlines to choose
It all just annoys
Constant corporate wars
From open space floors
Making such an chaotic noise
Chorus:
Come to a place
Where the sun is always shining
Every cloud with a dark lining
Has blown away
We’ve got to slow the pace
‘Cause we’re constantly blinded
So we must get clear minded
In a quiet space
Bridge:
Relax those tensions in your face
Breathe slowly in a rhythmic pace
Step outside your thoughts
And just observe
Everybody’s gotta try to keep their cool
We’re all learning in this lifelong school
How to give ourselves the time
That we deserve
Verse:
When we were little kids
We ran free around the neighborhood
Like little fools
As we all became adults
We were shaped by the results
Of so many rules
It’s so hard to find a balance
Between work and home
To keep from getting sick
We’ve got to find a little time
To calm down our minds
Let meditation do it’s trick
Chorus:
Come to a place
Where the sun is always shining
Every cloud with a dark lining
Has blown away
We’ve got to slow the pace
‘Cause we’re constantly blinded
So we must get clear minded
In a quiet space
