about

Reminiscing in past time songs, pictures and, of course, feelings.

lyrics

So many years have gone by
With all the changes they have brought.
But tell me, did things really change for good?
Did they change for good?

And as the world was passing by
It didn’t wait for us to make up ground.

I can’t remember when we lost control
With those ideas we had in mind.
We tried to change the word with weird chords
And a much better world in mind.
But all the changes happened afterwards
They didn’t care for our hopes.
The world went on and left us wounded
And other people’s dreams came true while ours died.

Meanwhile the world was passing by
It didn’t wait for us to make up ground.

And as the world was passing by
It didn’t wait for us to make up ground.

And as the world was passing by
It didn’t wait for us to make up sound.

No I don’t listen to the old songs any more
But every now and then I put my records out and look at them
And I think the best we ever had in life
Is still preserved between those weird, strange chords.

And as the world was passing by
It didn’t wait for us to make up ground.

And as the world was passing by
It didn’t wait for us to make up sound. (2x)

The Laughing Man Wuppertal, Germany

THE LAUGHING MAN are a Wuppertal (Germany) based band who are always in search of the perfect pop song with sometimes deconstructed lyrics.

The band first met in 2003, made three mostly home-recorded albums, yet and is very much influenced by British, Australian and New Zealand indie music of the 1980s and 90s.
THE LAUGHING MAN were named after Jerome D. Salinger’s Short Story of the same name. ... more
