about
“Today” is the first single from the highly anticipated Fireking album, SPEEDWAY. With a lyrical message that transcends both time and space, Fireking founder, Anthony Kaczynski (Figures on A Beach, Magnetic Fields, The Plimsouls), delivers one of his most heartfelt songs to date. As Anthony states, “Mortality is ever-present in all of our lives, and the song is an exhortation to make the best of what time is left to us.”“Today” shines musically, delivering 3:45 of joyous power pop from a tight band that brings the rock. With nimble bass lines from Drew Morrison and impeccable production work from the late, great Ducky Carlisle, there is no better time than “Today” to experience the newest single from Fireking, exclusively from The Sound Cove!
lyrics
first the parents, then the friends
make no mistake, let's not pretend
no wishing for a happy end to happen in this life
you make the best of what you do,, and you do all you can
to take the world and make it better
before you leave today
today
time is a runaway train that's jumped the track
those years are gone, they're not coming back
so my vices seem a virtue, and they're true as anything
i'm fifty-seven, i'm not in my teens
but i still have my hopes and dreams
well there's birth and there's death and there's in between
and here's where we are today
today
the entertainment sells the ruin
this window will be closing soon
so be my tiger and call the tune
and touch me where it hurts
and when i go please don't be long
blast the Quo, fire up the bong
you've got to bang a gong, you've got to get it on
and remember how we loved today
today

XTC had their moment in time...this recording extends it...Full of small, tight , quirky songs it juz rolls along. Recommended but maybe only for XTC fans.. cwhitney
Like most songs on the album this song shifts between two distinct modes that work great separately, but when they combine, they become Voltron and are unstoppable! bradykoch
