The song was written and recorded in late 2021. “Hourglass” tells of humankind’s disregard for Earth and life, which jeopardizes and often shatters vision, environment, truth, and the very existence of being. The song asks, “Why?” It wonders, “When?” It challenges listeners to look beyond themselves, consider others, and cherish every moment. It offers universal themes of time, love, openness, peace, and togetherness.
Humanity stands on the edge of a precipice. Now, more than ever, we must work together to overcome the negative impacts challenging our world, each other and all living things. By fostering awareness and taking meaningful action, we can create sustainable, positive change.
The song is more relevant now than ever. On February 24, 2022, Russia began a military invasion of Ukraine. It is the largest, aggressive assault on a European nation since World War II. Worldwide condemnation was immediate.
“My girlfriend is from Ukraine. This has been a devastating experience for her. I see the pain in her eyes. Her concern is vast for the global community, her country, family, and friends. This song gives her hope,” says band member Alex DeRoo.
