When an egg and a sperm meet, the clock starts. I’m constantly looking at them thinking where did the time go.

You kind of gauge your age looking at your children. Personally, having children has made me become more aware of time than any other point in my life. He and his wife are creating life together starting the clock in a metaphorical sense and a literal sense. Clock maker is a reference to there being a grand designer of all things living or AKA god.

Her love is the only thing that keeps him going and helps him cope with not being there for them. A success that has in many ways pulled him away from what he wants to be more than anything, a husband and a father. How can you hate something that has shown so much love to someone else and is being given back to you unconditionally? In interviews he credits his wife many times with pushing him to follow his passion which resulted in his success. This is by far the most powerful line of the whole song. He also says “some days I hate everything I am but your love holds a mirror to me. I believe he is talking about being the best dad and husband in the world that he has to now live in. “I want to make babies til you say you’re through”. Obviously he is referencing his wife and being home with her enjoying life together. The song starts out with him saying “I want to grow old with you in the Mountain View”. I know, I know, this is out there but hear me out. This may be far fetched but my interpretation of this is he is referencing his children as the clocks. But sometimes happy accidents gain meaning long after they’ve been created because they simply fall in line with the concept regardless of intent.

And because Verma (pictured at left) and the rest of the rover planners must work through the night the Martian night to plan and program the next sol's drive, they synchronize their daily schedules and clocks to match Perseverance. He just takes a broken clock and makes it work/better. A day on Mars, a sol, is 40 minutes longer than an Earth day. A clockmaker doesn’t actually make clocks. The clockmaker reference is an allusion to double-talk of the album’s recurring theme (there’s nothing new/everything has already been done). But he can’t do that cause he’s gotta work. These songs were made to be experienced live and sounding larger than live, getting to really explore their scope in the tiny room of Music Hall of Williamsburg where the songs soared to great heights.īut Simpson and his band also found time for the songs that made him, using the latter portion of the evening to turn back to clocks and turn to some of his older material such as “Call to Arms,” “It Ain’t All Flowers,” and “Call to Arms.” It was a balanced performance, one that all fans of Simpson surely went home simply reeling in absolute awe and sheer delight.ġ4.I think it means he loves his wife and wishes they could just spend all of their time together with their kids and enjoy each other’s company. It was a great way to kick off the night, which saw Simpson and his bandmates Bobby Emmett (keys), Chuck Bartels (bass) and Miles Miller (drums) absolutely tear through the rock record which sees them play with elements of funk, psych, and rock all with that country-inspired howl that makes all of Simpson’s output so distinct.

This underplay was way smaller than the sort of room you’ll see Simpson perform in these days (we last caught him last year at Outlaw Music Festival and Newport Folk Fest), but it was set up with a good cause in mind. On October 6th Simpson returned to New York to play Music Hall of Williamsburg to celebrate the release of the album. Sturgill Simpson has always been an outsider to the traditional country genre and he continues a push in a new way on his genre-defying new album Sound & Fury, which was released on September 27th via Elektra Records and also paired with a accompanying Netflix anime of the same name that written and produced by Simpson with Japanese director Junpei Mizusaki.
