Story behind the song
I wrote the music first and then I came up lyrics that fantasized about filming a person's entire 80-year life and watching it in ultrafast motion so the 80-year span passes as quickly as a dynamite explosion.
Lyrics
LIFE'S JUST A SINGLE BLAST
Music and lyrics by Paul Iorio

Watch the film of your entire life to
Play it back fast
So it only lasts a minute or two
Watch the film of your favorite day
Play it back slow
So it last 80 years to play
One moment
Is eternity
A life's just a single blast
Watch a film of a dynamite blast
Slow it down to see how long it'll last
Watch a film of your longest blues
Speed it up so it lasts as long as the morning dew
(or the evening dew)
One moment
Is eternity
A life's just a single blast
A lifetime's a single blast
A lifetime's a single blast
A lifeitme's a single blast
Life's just a blast
Life's just a blast
Life's just a blast
