Too Little Time
by David Becker, Paul Battersby

I wanted to take the original guitar and vocals version of the song and grow it into a full production with strings and percussion by the end of the song. I also took the original vocals tracks at the end of the song and used them to create a choir for the big finish.

From David Becker:

This is probably the most personal song I ever wrote, as I usually don’t write based upon personal experience … Dave’s Mid-Life Crisis aside. Back in 2007, I found myself at Duke University Medical Center in North Carolina after being diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease. I was given a 50% chance of surviving greater than 5 years. I received a stem cell transplant to combat the disease and I am still hear, doing great, and lived to tell about it. Anyway, during that year, my wife was at my bedside night and day … the most amazing wife and caretaker I could have ever hoped for. This song was written for her and kind of chronicles what was going through my mind at the time. I wrote it only this year after much reflection on these past 5 years, but specifically 2007.
