It’s time to vote for the leader
It’s time to vote for the leader; give me something to believe in so that I can plan my life around my dreaming, and what its all for’

We always talk about how fast time goes and ‘where has the year got to’ and never more so than this year! Another album, another round of elections and already its July…
The interesting thing I read recently is that its not the time that flies but rather time in relation to your age that causes us to think time is moving quicker; in other words, the longer you’re alive, the smaller a year becomes in relation to your entire life as a whole. For example, when you’re five, a year is 20% of your entire life.
When you’re 50, however, a year is only 2% of your life. For me, its cool to understand this concept because it makes me feel like I am in control and not just being thrown from year to year at a faster and faster pace! Check this cool interactive timeline out to see exactly what Im going on about:
For me it feels like just the other day I had told my boss, Tom Clark, then headmaster at Parktown Boys, that I had written my own songs and needed to go and test them out on the world; or the day I got the call to say that the Germans had fallen for ‘Indigo Girl’ and wanted the band to tour Europe.
