Lyrics
SANDS OF TIME VERSE 1 HERE I SIT ALONE AND THINKING ABOUT YOU YOU AWAKENED PART OF ME I NEVER REALLY KNEW, I WAS LOCKED IN A WORLD OF REALITY NO ESCAPE AND NO WAY OUT FOR ME, JUST AN EMPTINESS, MY HOPES AND DREAMS HAD GONE, THERE WAS JUST NO PLACE I FELT THAT I BELONGED. CHORUS UNTIL YOU CAME INTO MY LIFE AND GAVE ME HOPE AGAIN, I'D BEEN WANDERING IN THE DARK SO LONG....I CAN'T REWIND, THE GRAINS FALL EASILY AS I WATCH THE SANDS OF TIME, IN MY MIND IN MY MIND. VERSE 2 THERE'S A CHEMISTRY THAT MAKES ME FEEL SO MUCH ALIVE, A STRANGE CONNECTION THAT IS HELPING ME SURVIVE, IN A WORLD WERE I'VE BEEN LIVING ON THE OUTSIDE, OCEAN'S FILLED WITH THE TEARS I HAVE CRIED, FROM OUT THE DARKNESS CAME A SMALL FLICKER OF LIGHT, AND NOW WITHIN MY SOUL A FIRE'S BURNING BRIGHT. CHORUS

A great melody and a awesome voice!:) God Bless..."Murphy"
Another great melody and vocal, but I'm with Tammy on this one - needs some polish... and lose those heavy strings somehow. It's like wrapping candyfloss round a piece of sushi, and then eating it with ketchup.

Any golden moment in the stream called life rushes past us, and we see nothing but sand - love comes to visit us, and we only realize when it's long gone. We are not judged by the number of times we succeed, but by the number of times we fail - In the end The Sands Of Time are one of the most precious elements of all human existence. Peace - Johannes.

You are a very talented song writer and vocalist Jeni. This is great stuff! Anything I could suggest for production has pretty much been covered by Tammy's remix. You're definitely getting the hang of it. Keep it up!

The voice is really fitting for singing such romantic ballads! And I also like the melody greatly.

Not bad for a first mix on your own, Jeni. Please do still send me the parts in 320 mp3 format separated to tammyswindell@gmail.com , and I will run a production for you, on this, and explain what I did. That is, if you want to. If you don't wish to, I will respect that. But, some of the learning, sometimes comes from someone doing a production, THEN taking the time to explain what he/she did, and how it was gotten. :) On the other hand, You've got a little too much reverb, I'm listening through my work speakers, but it didn't sound bad..there are areas of distortion, but that's to be expected when you're first learning production. I could understand your words very well, and this song is SO beautiful!! :D I will listen again through my home speakers, and will know some more. I'd not had you turned up very loud here at work. You keep after this, Girl..you'll get it with time and practice.
You have a beautiful voice excellent song ;)

Sweet song! Nice melody, and vocals. I noticed some "digital overs" (distortion) in the bridge. Maybe try "normalizing" the track, and/or adding light limiting before converting to MP3. Just a thought. +1 for dropping the vocals further into the mix with less verb. Otherwise, its a gem!
