about

There can be grace, even in the midst of a midlife crisis. While relationships change over time, they don’t have to become less. They gain the wrinkles of laughter and the softness of tears. They gain the perspective of time and the strength of trust. But first you have to let them grow up.

lyrics

So now in your 31st year,
Have you learned how to name all these things you fear?
So now in your 31st year,
Do you know
That the sun still rises and the sun still sets
The flowers still bloom when the snow melts
And the dogs still bark at everyone as they pass
But the times have changed

Beauty fades. Love grows.
Time flies faster as the music slows
Beauty fades. Love grows.
Yeah the times have changed

Do your children even know who you are?
Let 'em in on your dreams help them find their stars.
Do your children even know who you are?
Do you?
And the wheel grinds down and the lights go off
The radio plays back your glory days
And the television news says it's all down hill
But the times have changed

Beauty fades. Love grows.
Time flies faster as the music slows
Beauty fades. Love grows.
Yeah the times have changed

And the river don't cry as loud as she used to do
And the stabs from your friends don't cut like they used to
And you fear that you've mellowed but you don't know how
When the fire in your guts keeps the winter out
The newspaper story says it's all about
what reading don't fix we should just throw out.
The family photos line the stairway wall
As you climb to your bed you secretly hope you'll fall

Beauty fades. Love grows.
Time flies faster as the music slows
Beauty fades. Love grows.
Yeah the times have changed

Oh, beauty fades. Oh, watch it grow.
Watch the time fly faster as the music slows
Beauty fades. Love grows.
Yeah the times have changed

G.F. Patrick image

G.F. Patrick Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Philadelphia-based guitarist and songwriter G.F. Patrick uses a Georgia-born post-country voice to examine the lives of everyday people and the way their unique pressure points have brought them to the given moment. While staying true to the folk and country idioms, he deftly repurposes song styles to attack outdated archetypes, putting music to the narratives of the overlooked and forgotten. ... more
