When this song was released Wayne Smith & King Jammy were in the depths of a special working relationship. The track dropped in the UK in 1982 on Black Joy Records and was later re-released as ‘Life Is A Moment In Space’ including Jammy’s dub, in 2010. Great music always stands the test of time and I’m sure that Wayne Smith was proud to see that his music kept on giving and giving.
Full of spaciously deep instrumentation and matched by Wayne Smith’s poetic lyrics and soulful delivery, this is something truly special. As with a lot of his music, this is a song about the struggles that love can present. The chorus lyrics are a very accurate explanation of what the moments of our lives actually are. We’re only here for a moment, so make the most of it by listening to this crucial record…
