This Is The Time

THIS IS THE TIME written by BILLY JOEL We walked on the beach beside that old hotel They're tearing it down now, but it's just as well I never showed you everything a man can do So stay with me baby, I've got plans for you This is the time to remember but it will not last forever These are the days to hold onto but we won't although we'll want to These are the times, but time are going to change You've given me the best of you, but now I need the rest of you Did you know that before you came into my life It was some kind of miracle that I survived Someday we will both look back and have to laugh We lived through a lifetime and the aftermath This is the time to remember but it will not last forever These are the days to hold onto but we won't although we'll want to These are the times, but time are going to change You've given me the best of you, but now I need the rest of you Sometimes it's so easy to let the day slip on by Without seeing each other at all But this is the time you'll look back and so will I Those will be the days you never can recall And so we embrace again behind the dunes This place is so cold on winter afternoons But holding you close is like holding the summer sun I'm warm from the memory of days to come This is the time to remember but it will not last forever These are the days to hold onto but we won't although we'll want to These are the times, but time are going to change You've given me the best of you, but now I need the rest of you

about

Los Angeles based Correatown gives Billy Joel’s 1980's classic cut "This is the Time" her honey-voiced fingerprint with a minimalist and haunting re-imagining. Correatown's languid vocals effortlessly elicit a feeling of sadness, hope and nostalgia in a song about living in the moment, love, and embracing the present. With an evocative spare arrangement, she gently tweaks the original melody to suit her fluid sultry voice, delicately delivering the weight of Joel's poignant lyrics.

about

correatown Los Angeles, California

Correatown was a name someone called her once. Imagine the lights that slowly haze by when you're driving home late at night bleary eyed, or the night sky heavy with clouds just after a thunderstorm. It's Angela Correa's band daydream fully realized in a dark club filled with the reverberating layers of washy guitars, beautiful harmonies, growling fuzzed out analog synths and that voice. ... more
