about

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.

CODA FACTO is not a band of soldiers or politicians. They do not carry weapons. They are artists with the aim to interpret the world they see and share their voice.

CODA FACTO urges you to share this message, spread awareness and create positive change.

lyrics

Where are we going with our distant state of mind?
Do we ignore the signs in front of our eyes?
It’s only a matter of time.

Why are we tearing our wondrous world apart?
Why is it hard to see we all need
Love and an open heart?

Sad how time goes past with sand in an hourglass
When every moment can last.
Sad how time goes past with sand in an hourglass
When every moment can last.

Why are we fighting and drawing lines in the sand?
Why is it part of the plan to spill blood on command?
Surrender to peace hand in hand.

Why are we lying and repeating the same mistakes?
When will we change our ways before it’s too late?
Together is what it will take.

Sad how time goes past with sand in an hourglass
When every moment can last.
Sad how time goes past with sand in an hourglass
When every moment can last.

Sad how time goes past with sand in an hourglass
When every moment can last.
Sad how time goes past with sand in an hourglass
When every moment can last.
When every moment can last.
When every moment can last.
