The collection is structured to represent a reflection on the passing of time. The actual time (2010 to 1997 to 2010 to 2043 to 2010) is marked by the rotations per minute designation of phonographic records.
The first selection, 45, is a positive expression of the elation due to cognisance that personal physical survival is probably much more due to chance than fate.
The three variations on the theme of sleeping (Luke 8:52) are based on the perception of time in relation to the point of view of Lazarus (John 11:44). At 33, there is no feeling of the present; things are becoming. 45 is now, but now is forever. 78 is a realization that projection, and life itself, is finite.
45 again is the response of the fatalistic vox populi (the chorus) whose linear outlook denies them the joy of the present, and thus precludes victory through art and subsequent immortality.
The future is neither forwards or backwards but actually here today, spinning.
