  • The Tempus Collective - "Yūgen"
    Yugen
    “”to be so mysteriously faint and profound as to be beyond human perception and under- standing.”
    “a profound, mysterious sense of the beauty of the universe… and the sad beauty of human suffering”
    “To watch the sun sink behind a flower clad hill. To wander on in a huge forest without thought of return. To stand upon the shore and gaze after a boat that disappears behind distant islands. To contemplate the flight of wild geese seen and lost among the clouds. And, subtle shadows of bamboo on bamboo.”
    Zeami Motokiyo.
    Yugen
    (A Song For Pamela)
    The morning sun it hides,
    Behind the drawn blind,
    It cuts the air,
    Like broken shards,
    In a dusty room.
    We embrace the day,
    With open arms,
    And celebrate,
    With childish charm.
    The still un-woken mind,
    With thoughts of you in time,
    Remembered dreams,
    Of roses in a stream,
    Like tears in the rain,
    Like roses in a stream.
    So scared to lose,
    What has been found,
    So scared of living,
    With my feet upon this ground,
    And the flowers scattered on the stair,
    And the roses drift from here to there.
    It was all we ever had…..
    Relieved the night has come,
    Relieved the day has gone,
    Love is still here,
    And love it is still here,
    To greet the new days dawn…

  • The Tempus Collective - "Soham Rain"
    "Sometimes it rolls in, as a gradual mist that makes for sad, reflective days; sometimes it descends as a thick fog, a blanket of pain and confusion,” Mr Wells senior said. “We accept that these feelings will be with us for the rest of our lives."
    Quote from Holly's father, July 2012 on 10th anniversary of his daughters murder.....
    Rushing, across fields that once were green,
    A fire in the breeze,
    The embers on the sea
    If I had - a penny for the rain,
    This pretty rain,
    Such pretty rain,
    The farewell prayers,
    In the rain,
    This rain,
    All so frail.
    So frail
    Lightning Strikes,
    Upon this face,
    Free......at last.

  • The Tempus Collective - "No Reply"
    Slightly more upbeat track from us this time, but as usual the subject matter is of a depressing nature, no one likes it when you send a love letter but get "No Reply"....
    Thanks to Wargames79 for his bass playing skills and Amy Burnett for lending her vocal talents to this track.

  • The Tempus Collective - "The Unwinding Coil" - Stripped bare mix
    The Unwinding Coil was a big production and there were lots of wee bits of added polish to make it, this is how it sounded before it went into the El Greebo production pit, even tho it's raw, it still has something about it that stands out i think and I really like this less complicated instrumentation and less clutered vocal (there are no backing tracks at all) so just thought I'd share with you guys.

  • The Tempus Collective - "Rage In Desire"
    Special thanks to Dan D (Collecting Pool) for the bass and Billy (Gentle Threat) for guitars, awesome job boys.
    This is a remake of the very first track we recorded is a studio back in 87, the original can be heard here http://snd.sc/LwWx8g
    It's been a bit of a labour of love and using a 3/4 time signature has proved to be very difficult for us but we enjoyed the challenge.
    Rage in Desire.
    Tempus. - February 2012 - A Reworking from 1987.
    Bio: This song was written some 25 years ago. While working with a small theatre co. I was struck by the competitive nature over the lead roles and general lust for fame and glory from the cast, mainly kids themselves. This was a comment on the attitude of the time, which has gone on to shape our current social society and dominate today's media.
    Lyrics:
    I want to have every part,
    I wanted to take hold of my heart,
    I feel now Iam ready to show,
    A feeling I just can't conceal anymore,
    Whenever you're young, this feeling inside,
    This burning desire, a feeling of pride,
    I stand here and why, my life burns the fire,
    I am watching my flame, it's been burning on, on.........
    I see it in their eyes, That diamond light is mine,
    I see what's ahead for me, and I shine on and on.... and on.
    I feel inside, the breath of all my crimes,
    Leading to all, well and I tried,
    The stage is set, The lighting glows,
    Enter the hope,
    And in my time, I believe,
    I must turn and complete,
    Any hold on my life, that is free and deceived,
    And Iam holding on........

  • The Tempus Collective - "Life In The Hourglass"
    Inspired by my parents, written for their 45th anniversary.
    Life in The Hourglass.
    Tempus. - November 2011.
    Time flows through the hourglass,
    Sands blow,
    In silence
    As the desert breathes,
    True souls
    Together, forever,
    A journey just begun,
    Then its, over.............

    1st Verse.
    With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
    Try this trick and spin it around, yeah

    And you'll ask yourself
