Measure's Measure
At 129 BPM in B minor, ‘Measure’s Measure’ builds like a classic arena rock track that knows exactly when to open up: the shift from reflective verse into full-band chorus delivers the kind of emotional release that early U2 chased on their bigger records. The lyric ‘we count, but never capture the song that will not fade’ is the kind of line that earns its moment, and at six-plus minutes PCBender gives it room to breathe rather than overstaying its welcome. The shimmering arpeggios against the distorted rhythm guitars is a production choice that pays off every time the chorus kicks in. A genuine highlight.
Lyrics
Love’s measure grows in silence In moments the world can’t see Not in numbers, not in vows But as “me” becomes a “we”
If love is but a song Then play
Measure’s measure is endless The rule that can’t be made We count, but never capture The song that will not fade…
Life’s measure waits in shadows In waypoints that slip away Not in riches, not in years But in how we live every day
If life is but a song Then play
Measure’s measure is endless The rule that can’t be made We count, but never capture The song that will not fade…
Forever’s measure’s timeless A shape inscribed with a twist Not in hours, not in stars Just as long as you exist
If forever sings Then let it play
Measure’s measure is endless The rule that can’t be made We count, but never capture The song that will not fade…
Maybe wisdom lies in knowing When to set the rule aside To let the mystery just be And let Now be our graceful guide
Measure’s measure is endless The rule that can’t be made We count, but never capture The song that will not fade…
If forever sings Then let it play
