David Mahr: My Favorites


Century: The Song

Century


Century was the last track on the Only You EP, single, whatever you want to call it.

But it was also the most personal, and the prettiest of the lot, I think. I was a bit lost at the moment, and ready to move back to San Francisco -- Hollywood, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, Santa Monica -- the place just wasn't doing it for me.

So back I went, and so many things went wrong for a while, making Century's lyrics even more meaningful to me. It's good to hear this song from time-to-time -- I think it holds up very nicely. Plus, it's my friend Lori's favorite. :)


I must be out of my mind
I’m falling further behind
I must be dreaming again
It brings the pain to an end

But then you threw me a line
With just moments to spare
I know what to do this time
Century
Century
Woah

It came to me in a dream
Just what my future could be
I finally see the light
I can be anything
Century
