“No Time For Love Like Now” is the first song from Big Red Machine since the release of their critically acclaimed self-titled debut in 2018. Big Red Machine began as a collaboration between Aaron Dessner and Justin Vernon in 2008, and has grown into a multi-artist collective. When the group got together this year to begin working on new music, this particular song made a detour and ended up with Michael Stipe.
Written by Michael Stipe and Aaron Dessner, produced by Aaron Dessner, with Orchestration by Bryce Dessner, and lyrics by Michael Stipe.
NO TIME FOR LOVE LIKE NOW LYRICS
no time for breezy
no time for arguments
no time for love like now
there’s no time in the bardo
no time in the in-between
no time for love like now
there’s no time for dancing
no time for undecideds
no time for love like now
where did this all begin to change
the lockdown memories can’t sustain
this glistening, hanging free fall
i turned away from the glorious light
i turned my head and cried
whatever waiting means in this new place
i am waiting for you
there’s no time for honey
no time for psalms and thresholds
whisper a sweet prayer sigh
where did this all begin to change
the lockdown memories can’t sustain
this glistening hanging free fall
i turned away from the glorious light
i turned my head and cried
whatever waiting means in this new place
i am waiting for you
your voice is echoing love love love love love
i hear it far far away
and i am here waiting for you
i am waiting for you
whatever waiting means in this new place
i am waiting for you
i am waiting for you

This voice... this man. His former Band R.E.M. - So important for me and my life. Thank you Michael.

This song is an extraordinary masterpiece by Michael Stipe, it really touches very deep feelings. Can't stop listening this song no matter how many tears stream down my face.

Even at 60 the man has a stunning voice. 'You're voice is echoing love' Just perfection

June 11th and I can already state that this is the best song of 2020.

One of the best, most honest, poignant songs I've ever heard. He dug so deep here. May be one of his greatest songs of all time. So powerful from one our most poignant lyricists. I have no idea how he did this. Pure genius. Only he and God knows. The voice of multiple generations and my childhood. Much respect and God Bless Michael Stipe.

I cannot thank Micheal Stipe for not giving up on music. His voice travels through time like the finest singers of all time. His music with REM, and now this is just breathtaking, nearly in tears listening to this.....

His phrasing and placement of his vocals has always been so intriguing. So nontraditional and unique. What an artist.
