“Another track that we decided to save for later on. We felt like it could stand as a single on its own. It started out with an acoustic intro that turned into something else completely when the bass-riff came along. Droning guitars and dreamy mellotron-melodies on top. It’s different but definitely Craneium.” - Andreas
When on tour we listen to the classic Pink Floyd track “Time” a lot, and I think it is safe to say that “Flow of Time and Age” is a not so distant relative, musically and lyrically” - Martin
"Our new track dives into the weight of memory, the slow collapse of what we hold dear, and tha/t urgent need to act before the moment slips away. It's heavy, melodic, and it hits like a truth you weren’t ready to face." - Joel
“Finnish fuzz-rockers Craneium swear their guitarist Martin isn’t getting old — but the walker, the afternoon naps, and the deep sighs suggest otherwise. Their new music video is a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the fact that time waits for no one — but luckily fuzz pedals help soften the blow.” - Craneium

Lyrics
”Flow of Time and Age”
Time keeps on flowing like a stream
Taking with it all your hopes and dreams
How could one wish for something more
And one day you'll all be washed ashore
Brought into life with loving breath
I fear I'll wither and I'll face my death
To know you numb beyond belief
Ain't returning from the lands of sleep
Take your time to shine, don't fall behind
Look within your mind, don't waste your time
Chorus
Merciless and fierce, the flow of time and age
There's no kindness in this world, the drowning voices won't be heard
Far in the distance like a dream
Taking us further than we've ever been
And if we someday reach this place
Into the void one last embrace
Take your time to shine, don't fall behind
Look within your mind, don't waste your time
Chorus
Merciless and fierce, the flow of time and age
There's no kindness in this world, the drowning voices won't be heard
Thanks to Majestic Mountain Records for all of the details.
