There's such a clear delineation of my life before vs my life after meeting the woman who became my life partner. This song harkens back to the 'before' and how rudderless I felt.

A Long Time Ago, by Matt Young
A Long Time Ago by Matt Young, released 23 August 2024 A long time ago when I couldn't see the forest For the trees that were blocking the view I'd stumble here and there, half-aware and with a flourish Hoping that I'd stumble into you And all of the time I wasted doing nothing Thinking everything was slipping away Never said a word, but it was clear I was bluffing I just didn't have the heart to say But now I feel alright I feel you hold me tight And I can hardly comprehend I have you here with me In actuality And not just a voice on the other end If on a winter's night A traveler sets her sight on me I think that this might just be the one None luckier than these Discovering their invisible cities Feeling the breeze under the jaguar sun Lost in a maze with no sense of my direction I was following the easiest path Wrong turns didn't seem to warrant a correction I'd just settle with the aftermath But now I feel alright I feel you hold me tight And I can hardly comprehend I have you here with me In actuality And not just a voice on the other end
