My new single. Video is gameplay from Elden Ring https://jamesmurray.hearnow.com/crushed-to-clay This was a song I started writing in 2011 but didn't have a chorus until a couple years ago. I'm still not sure what it's about. I take different meanings from it each time play or listen to it. Ultimately I think it's about how small and insignificant we are in the greater world and how crushing and insurmountable life can be. Despite this, we all feel a need to absorb, experience and leave a lasting mark on the world before we die. lyrics And they crushed me they crushed me down to clay knowing where I've been before but not knowing where I am going A poor man who is on the rise is happier then a wealthy man who's falling in decline it's not where you are, it's where you're going maybe all these fears are in my mind I need to take some time to absorb what others have to say before I'm ready to speak my mind Have you seen the mountains rise before you have you seen them rise up to the sky Oh I've seen them, I've seen them rise Glad to see them before I day Enough of the distractions, I need to do it now before it's too late to speak my mind Have you heard the oceans roar before you have you felt the flow as you swim by oh I've heard it, I've heard it roar glad to feel the flow before I die I need to take some time to absorb what others have to say before I'm ready to speak my mind Enough of the distractions, I need to do it now before it's too late to speak my mind And they crushed me they crushed me down to clay knowing where I've been before but not knowing where I am going credits released February 26, 2024 James Murray - Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Keyboards & Cornets Bongo John - Drums & Percussion Mixed and Mastered by Bongo John Produced by James Murray and Bongo John
