Vassily Maximov, "Everything is in the past" (1889).

Most generally, the past is a term used to indicate the totality of events which occurred before a given point in time. The past is contrasted with and defined by the present and the future. The concept of the past is derived from the linear fashion in which human observers experience time, and is accessed through memory and recollection. In addition, human beings have recorded the past since the advent of written language.

The past is the object of such fields as history, archaeology, archaeoastronomy, chronology, geology, (historical geology), historical linguistics, law, ontology, paleontology, paleobotany, paleoethnobotany, palaeogeography, paleoclimatology, and cosmology.

The Past

The past denotes period of time that has already happened, in contrast to the present and the future.

The Past may also refer to:

  • "The Past" (song), a 2008 song by the American heavy metal band Sevendust
  • The Past (film), a 2013 French film by the Iranian director Asghar Farhadi
  • The Past (Chinese: 過去), a book by Yu Dafu

  • The Past (song)

    "The Past" is the second single from the Chapter VII: Hope and Sorrow album produced by the American heavy metal band Sevendust. This power ballad, with lead vocals from Lajon Witherspoon and featuring guest vocals by lead vocalist of the band Daughtry, Chris Daughtry, is a bit of a departure for the band, falling more into the post-grunge category than what fans have come to expect from Sevendust. "Sorrow", another song found on Chapter VII: Hope and Sorrow, is similar in tone and also contains guest vocals, this time by Myles Kennedy. Sevendust has not yet created a music video for "The Past".

    Controversy

    Florida TV station WFTV-Channel 9 reported that Sevendust's song "The Past" was played repeatedly by Casey Anthony, who has been charged with first-degree murder in the disappearance of her daughter, Caylee while she was out on bond. The track carries this lyric: "Beneath the water that's falling from my eyes, Lays a soul I've left behind." The song was also apparently a topic of discussion on "Nancy Grace", a nightly current affairs show on CNN's Headline News hosted by Nancy Ann Grace, an American legal commentator, television host, and former prosecutor.

    The Past

    by: Teenage Fanclub

    Rolling through the city sprawl
    On a late night train
    The moon will survive us all
    Waiting for a friend to call
    I'm adrift again
    I search for nothing at all
    Modern life corrodes us all
    You know that it's true
    Give yourself a wake-up call
    Let the past come back to rescue you
    Seduced by a friendly fire
    I just watch the window
    Machines couldn't take me higher
    Don't wanna to be a lonely liar
    With a living tombstone
    Your warmth fills my desire
    Modern life corrodes us all
    You know that it's true
    Give yourself a wake-up call
    Let the past come back to rescue you
    I wake up to the morning star
    Embraced by false phosphorescence
    My dreams stay where they are
    I don't know where to start
    Alone and lost and guessing
    Revealed by an open heart
    Modern life corrodes us all
    You know that it's true
    Give yourself a wake-up call
    You know what it'll do
    Memory detains it all
    Your know that it's true
    Give yourself a wake-up call
    Let the past come back to rescue you
    The past come back to rescue you
    The past come back to rescue you
