Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
The song is “Time” by Pink Floyd for anyone that doesn’t get the reference. If you like that song, Dark Side of the Moon is definitely worth a listen
I’m 27 and somehow I just listened to this album for the first time 2 weeks ago. “Us and them”, “Time” and “Eclipse” break me down to full blown ugly crying every time I listen to them 😅 that shit touched my fucking soul.
This was my peak ‘life sucks and I’m just slowly dying’ song as a very young adult, drinking Screech alone in my parent’s basement and contemplating all sorts of dismal stuff.
Fantastic song, but if I find myself listening to it on repeat in the near future it’s straight to the shrink. Gotta fire your own damn starting gun before you lose the strength to pull the trigger.

Yep, that’s the stuff.
I’d never heard of it
All good, it’s pretty regional as the Wiki attests to.
Is it enjoyable or kinda shit (or both, depending on who makes it)?
So the branded Screech is kinda meh imo, a sort of harsh dark rum. Tasted like depression which suited me fine at the time, lol.
Proper screech (bathtub moonshine style)? I’ve never had the chance to try some, unfortunately.
Edit: apparently the recipe for Screech changed over Covid, new stuff is supposedly smoother.
Thx, appreciate the info
