"Maybe It's Time" by Klinton Kraft

"Maybe It's Time"
Written by Jason Isbell & Recorded by Bradley Cooper
Acoustic Performance by Klinton Kraft

Song Background
Jason Isbell wrote "Maybe It's Time" after being asked to compose an original song for the movie soundtrack for "A Star is Born" directed by actor Bradley Cooper. Isbell asked to see the screenplay and got in touch with Cooper to understand his requirements for the track and to discuss his character Jackson Maine. Cooper wanted a realistic song and urged Isbell to put his own thoughts as a songwriter into the lyrics, resulting in "Maybe It's Time". As he composed the song, Isbell kept in mind the "idea of salvation and redemption throughout the story and the movie, how that's something that comes from within an individual". In a later interview, he explained: "That’s what the song deals with more than anything else—whether you reach the point of redemption or not is wholly determined on your own willingness to work. If you’re going to change, it has to come from within." Cooper sings the released soundtrack version.

What is a Catherine Wheel?
The bone breaking wheel or execution wheel, also known as the Catherine wheel or simply the Wheel, was a torture method used for public execution primarily in Europe from antiquity through the Middle Ages into the early modern period by breaking the bones of a criminal or bludgeoning them to death.

My Lovely Story
When I was learning to play and sing this song, my lovely daughter Abbie was nearby listening at the time and when she heard the lyrics she chimed in and said, "Hey! I speak to God and he speaks to me so I don't think it's true that the lyrics say no one." and of course I just looked at her with pure love and adoration. She's 13 and so very sweet.
