about

This song started out being about nothing, but now it seems like it's about everything.
'Don't assign negative intent to other people's inactions" BKF

"Wow man, another stunning piece. So many micro and macro cosmic moments in this one. The chords at 4:48 wow, beautiful man, the solos, and that last instrumental bridge toward the end, the attention to detail, all of it. I love it. Melancholy, darkish subject matter teaming with life, vim and vigor. A man after my own heart. It did make me a little sad tho...in a good way..."

lyrics

What do we want? Something!
When do we want it? Sometime!

We've never been this far into the future before

None is a number
Negative is a space
Nothing is a thing
Nowhere is a place

Never is a time

Back when I was little, I wanted to play the viofiddle, but my Dad said maybe sometime
Then later it was the drums, but this time it was my mums who said, "maybe sometime deah, go ask your fathah”.

Shoot me a text and we'll talk sometime
Let's get together, do lunch sometime
Gimme a call, just come over sometime
We’ll drive out to Delano, do dinner

Sometime is never
Oh you think you sound so clever
But of all the times to put me off to
This one lasts forever
You can’t stack sometime in the corner
Or store it under your bed
No interest when you save it up
You just get apathy instead
Apathy, apathy,
I can’t stand your apathy

(Meanwhile)
Never is also a time
A time we’ll never see
Finally some finality, clear clarity
For what will never be

Never makes you wonder when
When when is right in the word
Never always makes the ambiguity
Of sometime seem so absurd

Sometime in the future Fresno’s air will be pristine
Sometime in the past our nations moral hands were clean
Sometime like today that remains to be seen
Sometime is never, think you see what I mean

Sometime’s also always!
Can you please be more specific?
Why do you only say “ocean”
When you really mean “Pacific”?
Ya know the lapse in your language is a thing I find horrific
If we could actually book a date sometime
That would really just be swell

Or sometime I’ll just see you out there
Sometime we’ll never know when
Sometime we’ll just set in motion
The countdown time to

Sometime Is Never

Sometime is never
Oh you think you sound so clever
But of all the times to put me off to
This one lasts forever
You can’t stack sometime in the corner
Or store it under your bed
No interest when you save it up
You just get apathy instead
Apathy, apathy,
I can’t stand your apathy

Brian Kenney Fresno Fresno, California

My name is Brian Kenney Fresno, and I have this super fun solo ROCK show
where I sing modern TALES of urban legends and epics of the absurd- in a
sing along format, mostly about Fresno Ca, my home town, and everytime I say
"Fresno", everybody eats the raisins and says "WHOOO!" in a group
experience.
It's really fun!
Everybody laughs a lot! ... more
