Ellis Paul – The World Ain’t Slowin Down

Ellis Paul – The World Ain’t Slowin Down

Call 1-855-637-4055 for our Psychic line as low as 66¢/min About Ellis Paul: Ellis Paul (born Paul Plissey; January 14, 1965) is an American singer-songwriter and folk musician. Born in Aroostook County, Maine, Ellis Paul is a key figure in what has become known as the Boston school of songwriting, a literate, provocative and urbanely romantic folk-pop style that helped ignite the folk revival of the 1990s. His pop music songs have appeared in movies and on television, bridging the gap between the modern folk sound and the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. Boston radio included a classic hits station that played the music of Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and James Taylor; artists who were mostly unfamiliar to Paul. Having grown up in a small town in Maine, Ellis Paul attended Boston College on a track scholarship where he majored in English. An athletic injury sustained during his junior year changed the course of his professional career. Ellis Paul picked up a guitar to pass the time while sidelined, and discovered that playing guitar and writing songs was the creative outlet he had been looking for. After graduating from college he began playing at open mic nights in the Boston area while working with inner-city school children. Ellis Paul‘s growing popularity at Boston coffeehouses, coupled with winning a Boston Acoustic Underground songwriter competition and national exposure on a Windham Hill Records compilation combined to give him the confidence to resign his day-job and pursue a career as a professional musician. Paul’s tattoo of Woody Guthrie resulted in a chance meeting with Nora Guthrie, Woody Guthrie’s daughter, at a Folk Alliance Conference when Nora asked to see Paul’s tattoo. That chance meeting resulted in Paul being invited to perform at a Woody Guthrie tribute show at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. The 10-day celebration, held in September 1996, included other notable musicians such as Bruce Springsteen, Billy Bragg, The Indigo Girls and Ani DiFranco. Highlights of the year 2000 included Paul singing the National Anthem at Fenway Park, and having his song “The World Ain’t Slowing Down” chosen for the theme song in the Farrelly brothers movie Me, Myself and Irene starring Jim Carrey and Renée Zellweger. lyrics: I found you sitting on a suitcase crying Beneath my feet I feel the rumble of a subway train And I laugh out loud Cause it’s the one thing I hadn’t been trying The train came in breathless The passenger’s restless You say, “Baby, you’ll never change” You gotta get gone You gotta get going Hey, the world ain’t slowin’ down For no one It’s a carnival calling out to you And it sounds like a song It hits you like scripture You paint the picture With colors squeezed from your hand Weren’t you the kid Who just climbed on a merry-go-round Hey, look, the world ain’t slowin’ down Out on the sidewalk The pigeons do the moonwalk I’ll be dancing like Fred Astaire The lampposts are rockin’ The whole town is talking Like a fool in a barber’s chair And I get the sensation It’s joy and frustration Like getting caught by a drop of cold rain Freedom can numb you When there’s no place to run to It feels just like Novocain You packed up all your handbags You’re throwing off the sandbags I let go when you stepped free I didn’t want to lose you You said, “You didn’t choose to — It’s just how your karma came” But thanks for the vision, And the twenty-twenty wisdom It hit me like a south-bound train Click here to return to positive music list Read the full article

Do you remember your freshman year roommate?  Mine had clear blue eyes and a serious expression that easily gave way to a mischievous grin.  We studied the three B’s together: boys, books and booze…

What's your URL stand for?

Speedoftrees? It’s the title of the song ‘Speed of Trees’ by Ellis Paul that runs on the background of my blog. I’ve always adored it for the manner in which it describes love; that love is powerful enough to keep even the most volatile person grounded, that it is peaceful, a blissful stillness. I guess it’s saying when you’ve found love, you want time to move at the speed of trees, for it to stand still so that instead of having memories of love, you live it continually in the present. And I’m not speaking of just romantic love but rather love in any and every form.This is just my personal interpretation of the song, but do listen to the lyrics, they are out of this world. He is a brilliant lyricist and one of my favourite musicians.
