Momentum Lyrics

what a great song... i know, i know, all of her songs are great. but THIS one... :)

it's about keeping up with time and not being able to look back, just having to keep on moving on forward even if we don't want to.

the crescendo in the melody and the ascension of the notes when she sings "and i know life is getting shorter" is awesome.

has anyone else seen the movie "magnolia" ? this song is playing in the background when claudia is playing her music too loud while snorting. the cop is banging on her door. the song is a great song to play in the background because the message in the song fits the theme of the movie well, and the chorus suggests some sort of frantic grappling with the present.

bravo, aimee
