about

I fantasized that we were living in the future. Now we really are. Crazy. This is a song that I wrote a few years ago, played in live a few times, and now it's finally out, mixed and mastered by Nik Kozub, as a preview of our full Wilfred N & the Grown Men album coming in 2021 (a year late . . . I wonder why). The album is called "We'll Get There," and this is the 7th advance tune that I have dribbled out in the past year. 2020 was good for something!

lyrics

Living in the Future by Wilfred Kozub

I’m living in the future – breathing in the moment
Living in the future and digging up the past
I’m living in the future – breathing in the moment
And it’s out of my hands

I wonder what it’s gonna be like
Living in the future – is it gonna be fine?
Living in the future
Is it gonna be nice?

Somebody out there, somebody knows
Where we are going, the way the wind blows
The way the wind blows, the way the wind blows
Living in a moment

I’m living in the future – breathing in the moment
I’m living in the future and dreaming of the past
We’re all together and what have we done?
Done about the future? . . . it’s out of our hands

Somebody out there, somebody knows
The river is flowing but where does it go?
Where does it go? Where does it go?
Treading in the water

I’m giving up guessing, going with the flow
Where the river’s flowing only the river knows
Giving up on guessing, going with the flow
. . .

Only the river knows . . . only the river knows
It’s out of our hands
Only the river knows
It’s out of our hands

The river knows
