Out of Time Song 534 (FULL ARRANGEMENT)

November 28, 2023 · 2023 MUSIC VIDEOS, A Life In Song, Freedom Songs, Life In Song 2010's, music video, Running songs, Songs about Time, Transformation Tunes, Videos

Hey Mark Shepard, Compulsive Singer/Songwriter here with Life In Song #534, “Out of Time” recorded live in the studio, back in February of 2023, In the midst of starting my own farm @healingpasturesfarm89 this got set on the back burner to marinate for a while.

At this point in my life it is all too clear that I am personally running out of time. It’s not a “bad” thing. It’s just a FACT… of LIFE.

My response is to more and more FIERCELY FOCUS on doing what I KNOW I came here to do.

On the farm focusing on the sheep and livestock guardian dogs.
In the Studio focusing on recording as many of these 500 + songs as I can possibly record before my time is up.

At home focusing on taking care of my 96 year old dad, Lewis.

I hope you enjoy!
Peace, Love & Groovyness!

– Mark Shepard

Lyrics:

Out of Time
Song #534 | 2/3/17 | recorded 2/2023 | released 11/25/23
Tuning: DADGAD

We are running… We are running… We are running…
Out of time…Out of time…Out of time
We are running out of excuses
For our abuses and our lies to ourselves
We are running out of time

Refrain:
And there is only time for Freedom (3X)

We are racing our own shadows
While we’re chasing plastic rainbows
We are running out of reasons
To delay our transformation

Refrain:
Bridge:
I will see you on the inside (X3)…
Acoustic Guitar break

We are running out of excuses
for our abuses and our lies to ourselves…
We are running…Out of time

Been singing the chorus since the first day I heard it…

I sh*t you not when I say I’ve been singing the chorus to Honest Rock since the first day I heard it. I sing this every single day. Many times a day. Seriously. It’s like a mantra to me. It soothes me:-)

For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love…

Dear Mark, THANK YOU for sending *Spark & Flame*!!!! This CD certainly is a compilation of Conscious Love Songs! As I listen I am transported to memory after memory past, present and future, fulfilled and unfulfilled. I was flooded with many different emotions. I cried, laughed, held my breath and also breathed deep heart-centered breaths of connection to the Divine. I feel joy, grief, sadness, compassion, love, awe, freedom, kindness, gratitude and appreciation. For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love, releasing, acceptance for what was, what is and who I am. Knowing that I am enough and that I am Divinely Loved.

You have put a grown man in tears…

Mark, this song and message really hit home for me today. You have put a grown man in tears. Thank You for what you do. Sometimes I think you sound kind of cheesy, and then others, I think you are a genius, and I’m beginning to realize that you actually care about helping people. So hard to “get out of your own way” sometimes…thanks for the reminder.

Jeremy

Enjoying your songs so much…

Hello Mark. I am enjoying your songs so much! I’d love to see you play live somewhere.
