  1. I fixed the MP3 of Time, and while I was at it, I added Up for Me as well. Thanks for the thread, Ric.
  2. Hi I'm Cherri. I sing, play guitar, and write songs. We have two CDs out that we're promoting around Michigan this summer at shows and festivals. We generally write the music as a group and I write most of the lyrics. Sometimes we start from the lyrics, sometimes from the song. Every song on our CDs was written in a different manner - some fell together, some were beasts that took months to polish, some started as one song and ended up completely different when we recorded them. On "Time", we took a chord progression (Am, C, D; Am, C, G, Cm7) home as homework. We came back to practice having noodled around with these chords, and we all had something different. I developed what later became the chorus of the song, and the musical bridge from the chorus to the new verse. Tony developed the verses. While the basic chords remained the same, the progression, tempo, and vibe was different between the two of us. We played it often, and then I started writing lyrics. Once they started coming they couldn't stop ... a stream of consciousness writing style. Here they are: Chorus: Wait for me, Im trying to keep Up with your demands All Ive got is these two hands. Time taking time take away, take me through another day Give it time give it play, give me clever words to say Say Im right, say Im wrong, say you knew it all along Say that time marches on, marches narrow straight and long. Time cant keep; cant keep time (Chorus) Time, time is up, double down, time is chasing me around Chase the gold, chase the prize, tracking down your alibis Buy more stuff every day, then just throw it all away Made of dust made of clay, have you hugged your kids today? Time cant keep, cant keep time.. wait ..... (guitar lead) Time silent time voices loud, losing faces in a crowd Time is lost, lost and found, running sand run aground Give it time, time to heal, all the anguish that we feel Keep it live, keep it real, keep on running in a wheel. Time cant keep, cant keep time (Repeat 1st verse) It's on our suondclick page, but some people can hear it and some can't. I keep meaning to fix that but no time.
