This week’s Song Of The Week is Carpe Diem from the Live And Learn album.
This month marks the anniversary of Carpe Diem. It was THE very first song we recorded back in 2003, and ushered in the formation of KayaMBeE and the beginning of a new era for Kerry and Bert, as they ventured into original song writing and recording.
Stream the entire song for free until we’ll release the next SOTW (see the player below). Comments and referrals are very welcome, too.

Carpe Diem
words: Kerry Murray
music: Bert Erdmann
Kerry Murray … vocals
Bert Erdmann … guitar, bass, keyboards, backing vocals
I had love for you, we were a pair
When you’d walk in I’d have to stop and stare
But things changed and we fell apart
When something ends another must start
We said ‘til death do us apart
And you made a gravestone of my heart
So let’s call a spade a spade
And put an end to this mess we made
We broke down, that’s okay,
I’m exhausted by the games we play
This union is not exempt
Familiarity has bred contempt
(Seize the day now) no shame in giving in
(Seize the day now) to quit is not a sin
(Seize the day now) I claim carpe diem
We said ‘til death do us part
And you made a gravestone of my heart
So let’s call a spade a spade
And put an end to this mess we made
We had our good times, that is true
But now I do things just to avoid you
I take this entropy, gather it up and make it work for me
