I think the album title is absolutely prefect. In my mind the whole album is about time passing and everything that revolves around it.
Hey God - all about a grim pessimistic future.
These Days, Something for The Pain, Something to Believe in, My Guitar, Lie to Me, Hearts Breaking Even - all about being stuck in some form the present, into the NOW, and it's ugly, it's not right, but here we are...
Letting Go, Bitter Wine - about getting to grip with the past, with a memory that just won' t stop daunting you.
And of course, there are the more generic Bon Jovi songs that are just great songs but don't necessarily fit into any of those buckets...such as the rest really.
Great album. Absolutely fantastic album. Pretty much, one of the best anyone has ever recorded.
