02. Waiting For Our Time

An odd follow on to Do Things My Way, considering Waiting For Our Time is very much more a 'love song' than anything.  But its not all that mushy as one might expect.  Its about waiting, and about patience for one's true rewards, this reward being love for a lifetime. And trust me, there is no greater reward.  *chuckle* And I've done my fair share of waiting, wondering, and yearning to get to certain points in my life.  This could also be construed into being about things other than love perhaps, but ultimately, love was the key thing I thought fo here.  Life, and all the good intagibles here.  The warm fuzzies, if you will. All good things worth it take some waiting and patience. Wether it be finally being together with the one you love, or even just going to your first Styx concert. *cough* [I waited a year and a half from when I knew BNW was coming out to see them.  Don't talk to me about patience.]

On a more technical side, I adore the guitaring here.  And the bass line towards the end when everything isn't going during that last round of chorusing... I thought that was well done. [Just noticed it. o.O  Amazing what you miss sometimes....]  Also of note is the yummy chorus vocals blending and intertwining. The song itself starts light, instrumentally, and kicks in fullbore at the chorus and never stops really until it hits the last chorus, and even then it does recollect. The end fade-out is nice, too.

Looking up from where I stand
I see the vapor trail
Of a jet plane in the sky

Here the wheel is in my hand
But there's no wind in my sails
And life is drifting by

Still I hold on and wait
I know it's not too late
And my breeze will come

Muse you satisfy my soul
Keep me warm while the
Cold world guards the gate

I'm searching
I'm wondering
I'm yearning
Waiting for our time to come
I'm searching
I'm wondering
I'm yearning
Waiting for our time to come

Your love has kept my dream alive
A vision of my life
With you here by my side

Every forward step I take
Every moment I'm awake
I feel your love inside

So close I feel it in my bones
I know I'm not alone as I climb this wall
But I, sometimes I get so high
I just want to live, love
And taste it all

I'm searching
I'm wondering
I'm yearning
Waiting for our time to come
I'm searching
I'm wondering
I'm yearning
Waiting for our time to come

Here tonight
I lie awake and watch you dream
Under the light of the moon
I wonder just how far we've been
And where we'll be
When the sun comes up
Will this be our date with destiny

I'm searching
I'm wondering
I'm yearning
Waiting for our time to come

I'm searching
I'm wondering
I'm yearning
Waiting for our time to come

And I'm waiting
