Lyrics:

STOP THE SUN

When I was young – hours passed so slowly
When I was young – had all the time in the world
When I was young – hot summer nights lasted forever
And I thought I would too

But now I need more time
To do what I must do

I wanna raise my arms and
Shout!
Stop the sun – until the job is done
Shout!
Stop the sun – until the race is won
Shout!
Stop the sun – until I finish what I’ve just begun

When I was young – mistakes they didn’t matter
When I was young – always another chance
When I was young – time was meant for wasting
And now I want it back

‘Cause now I need more time
To do what I must do

I wanna raise my arms and
Shout!
Stop the sun – until the job is done
Shout!
Stop the sun – until the race is won
Shout!
Stop the sun – until I finish what I’ve just begun

The most important days in life
Are the day you’re born
And the day you find out why
And now I know
I can always make more money
But I can never make more time

Shout!
Stop the sun – until the job is done
Shout!
Stop the sun – until the race is won
Shout!
Stop the sun – until I finish what I’ve just begun

I wanna raise my arms and stop the sun
I wanna raise my arms and stop the sun
I wanna raise my arms and stop the sun

About:

The second EP from the George Collins Band, "Songs for Grown-ups," is a collection of tunes brimming with literate and insightful narratives and sharp pop hooks.

Collins’s songwriting hits that sweet spot where art and craft intersect. This passionate pop/rock with a modern vintage feel recalls masterful tunesmiths like the Beatles, Sting, Bruce Springsteen, XTC, Elvis Costello, Tom Petty, Counting Crows, The Wallflowers, Crowded House and Wilco, among others.

His older siblings and cousins turned him on to music at a very young age, and he received his first guitar at age four. Collins started writing songs immediately, and pursued both guitar and piano through his youth, taking lessons in a variety of styles while playing in bands and fine-tuning his songwriting.

During his university years, Collins supported himself by performing as a solo act in pubs around Charlottesville, VA, where he became well-known on the vibrant local music scene. He also played in an eleven-piece Earth, Wind & Fire-esque band called Common Knowledge which included Carter Beauford and the late LeRoi Moore. Beauford and Moore later became founding members of The Dave Matthews Band.

“While backstage with Carter and Dave during their most recent concert in Prague in 2019, I joked that I was in The Dave Matthews Band even before Dave Matthews,” Collins says with a good-natured laugh. “They both burst out laughing, and Dave clicked his beer bottle to mine and said, ‘If anyone ever asks me about that, I will back you up one hundred percent!’”
