about

Yes, we are called Byzantine Time Machine, but we don't always go back in time to the Byzantine era to explore musical possibilities. The Time Machine experienced a funky glitch and brought us to the 1970's, where we naturally gravitated towards a folk dance that the natives called "Disco." Our longtime buddy Forrest Roush managed to squeeze a few guitars and our old Ensoniq EPS 16+ sampler, through the time portal. We then co-produced this song with our sampler giving us the technological advantage. We entered "Tonight is the Night" in a contest to create the best wedding song, but we lost the competition to a Swedish folk dance named "Dancing Queen." Oh well, we still think ours is a pretty hooky little jam!

lyrics

I remember when
You were just a girl
Pony tails and curls
You were always so sweet

I remember when
You were just a boy
Breaking all your toys
Always under my feet

We are your family and we will always be there
Even though we know tonight we have to let go

Tonight is the night you start your new life
Your new life

You will always be
Daddy's little girl
Spinning in a twirl
We could feel your heartbeat

You will always be
Mommy's little man
Helping when you can
Standing on your two feet

We are your family and we will always be there
Even though we know tonight we have to let go

Tonight is the night you start your new life
Your new life
