about
“No Time For Love Like Now” is the first song from Big Red Machine since the release of their critically acclaimed self-titled debut in 2018. Big Red Machine began as a collaboration between Aaron Dessner and Justin Vernon in 2008, and has grown into a multi-artist collective. When the group got together this year to begin working on new music, this particular song made a detour and ended up with Michael Stipe.
Written by Michael Stipe and Aaron Dessner, produced by Aaron Dessner, with Orchestration by Bryce Dessner, and lyrics by Michael Stipe.
no time for breezy
no time for arguments
no time for love like now
there’s no time in the bardo
no time in the in-between
no time for love like now
there’s no time for dancing
no time for undecideds
no time for love like now
where did this all begin to change
the lockdown memories can’t sustain
this glistening, hanging free fall
i turned away from the glorious light
i turned my head and cried
whatever waiting means in this new place
i am waiting for you
there’s no time for honey
no time for psalms and thresholds
whisper a sweet prayer sigh
where did this all begin to change
the lockdown memories can’t sustain
this glistening hanging free fall
i turned away from the glorious light
i turned my head and cried
whatever waiting means in this new place
i am waiting for you
your voice is echoing love love love love love
i hear it far far away
and i am here waiting for you
i am waiting for you
whatever waiting means in this new place
i am waiting for you
i am waiting for you

Like a lot of songs on this album... starts quiet and spatial and progressively gets loud, complex, and pulsing. Love it! Many sonic layers; another well-crafted album! chris_decareau
