about
“Your Time Has Come” is part of the album-in-the-making, “Sounds Like Home”. All songs on “Sounds Like Home” are created using ordinary objects I found in my home and repurposed into musical instruments.
On “Your Time Has Come” I played bathtub, rice can shaker, acoustic guitar, and handpans.
lyrics
· · · · · · · · · · · · ·
Come along, gather around,
I will relieve you
You will soon sleep safe and sound,
And I will grieve you
You’ll no longer be needed, but thanks for your service
Come along, gather around,
I will forgive you
You will no longer be bound
And I will give you
All you need to be comforted, calm and complying
Isn’t it right, isn’t life bright,
Till you decide to think
Isn’t it fine to be all mine
Till you awake and blink
I’m your Lord of hosts
I’m the one in command of you ghosts
And I command: Your time has come
Come along, gather around,
I need to warn you
Some of you claim to have found
New clothes to warm you
They say reason will comfort and calm you unshaken
Come along, gather around,
I need to tell you
They who dismiss me ain’t sound
Their clothes won’t warm you
It is reason that started all trouble in Eden
Isn’t it right, isn’t life bright,
Till you decide to think
Isn’t it fine to be all mine
Till you awake and blink
I’m your Lord of hosts
I’m the one in command of you ghosts
And I command: Your time has come
I’m your Lord of hosts
I’m the one in command of you ghosts
And I command: Your time has come
Your time has come
Lord, oh Lord, please leave us be, let us
Live our lives unscathed by Thee
Lord, oh Lord, leave us alone, we are
Prone no more to Your dull drone

Music, lyrics, all instruments, sounds, and vocals: Babu Menos.
Babu Menos is a musician (composer and lyricist, multi-instrumentalist and singer), writer, smart-ass, idler, and former
traveller — amidst this climate catastrophe, one cannot travel in good conscience anymore.
This collection is not of this world. Combining a multitude of instruments, soundscapes, field recordings, and emotional electronics, Yara Asmar created a parallel universe I love getting lost in. Babu Menos
Tennyson stand for the warmest electronica imaginable. Original songwriting and about one million ideas per song add to this, making their music glittering, comforting, intriguing, deeply fascinating. Babu Menos
One of the many things that set the Montreal-based singer apart are the amazing vocal arrangements. Stunning a-cappella songs accompanied by lots of percussion, piano, and a handful more instruments. Babu Menos
A fantastic synthpop EP from Haleluya Hailu that pairs delightfully fizzy instrumentation with gorgeous vocal melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 5, 2021
The Franco-British artist crafts maximalist pop from a variety of angles, channeling David Bowie, Frank Ocean, and even Phillip Glass. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 15, 2024
Danish singer and multi-instrumentalist channels empowering themes into lush indie pop infused with brass, banjos, strings, and more. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 15, 2023
