Gentle, acoustic and unusually beautiful, a new experimental number the Brooklyn duo of Peter Silberman and Michael Lerner, identifying natural phases over a lifetime with an oceanic metaphorical theme. The song is described as appreciating “powerful forces that follow their own uncontrollable rhythms, and an intention to navigate them more skilfully in the future.” Out on Transgressive Records.

Time and tide wait for no one.
I was young when the water was rising,
but didn’t drown.
Every tumbling wave capsizing
knocked me around.
That was the first time I learned that
time and tide wait for no one.
I got stuck when the water receded,
dropped in the sand.
It was tempting to read as defeated,
throw up my hands.
But I was once more reminded:
time and tide wait for no one.
Staring out from the edge of erosion
at what the tide took back.
Floating off where the moon meets the ocean—
Whatever I lack, well I’m not swimming out after it.
Time and tide wait for no one
