After All This Time - Michael Chapman
from the forthcoming album True North (2019)
In a world where things seem to exist in increasingly brief increments of time, I find myself drawn closer to people like Michael Chapman. This English folkster has been releasing an album per year since 1969. In a few weeks, he will be releasing his fifty-first album.
One of the teaser singles off of this album is a song titled After All This Time, which - at first glance - seemed very appropriate for the day.
The song is as beautifully arranged and performed as any recent folk piece I can recall. The harmonies, the lead guitar, the petal steel guitar, and Michael Chapman's finely-aged vocals are all magnificent.
The lyrics focus on a long-lasting relationship where the two have grown apart and gone their separate ways. He sings about this with sadness, lamenting on how the feelings of love have faded away.
Personally, I find the opposite to be true. When I think that kindred soul in my life, nothing has faded. After all these years, all these collected memories, I think of us as closer than ever. Sure, we may travel down seemingly diverging roads, but that connectedness only grows stronger and more meaningful.
And I hope that wherever they are today, they are happy and know that they are loved.
