about

Originally written in 2014 and recorded in 2015, this one has been waiting in the wings for quite some time. Its appropriate title revealed deeper meaning to me over the last 7 years. I had planned to release it at least a half dozen times. But every time I geared up to do that, for one reason or another, it just didn't feel 'right'. Now, after close to a decade, I understand why my higher self was asking me to pause.

It could not be a better time to finally share this with the world, as the context of the song is ever-changing with my personal evolution. Its lyrics land even more solidly with recent life events and truthfully, I'm finally mature enough to let this one be heard. Freshly mastered last month and ready for all of your ears and hearts to enjoy. I hope you all really feel this one and that you never rush yourself into anything, regardless of self-induced pressure. And most importantly, may you never EVER lag on yourself...because Timing is Everything.

lyrics

Walking down
The city streets
My headphones on
I walk to the beat
Of my own drum
My heart wants to speak
Everywhere I go
People notice me
Yet I feel alone
In the crowd
And my vocal chords
Want to scream out loud
Cuz this is love
At least to me
I have lost you now
To the mystery

Finding my way through the maze
Life is so unpredictable
Timing is everything, they say
Don't just be standing there still
Cuz what you give is what you get
And if you want to be handed it
What you want, never forget
Put all you've got into it

Waking up
Next to you
Is the only thing
That I wanna do
There's so much more
There to explore
And I hope you find
What you're looking for
Cuz we must go
And live our lives
We're warriors
And we might survive
Cuz this is love
At least to me
If we reconvene
Then it's meant to be

Finding my way through the maze
Life is so unpredictable
Timing is everything, they say
Don't just be standing there still
Cuz what you give is what you get
And if you want to be handed it
What you want, never forget
Put all you've got into it

Born Carmen Marie Gutierrez, this musical messenger and modern witch caws it like she sees it. Her music exhibits her love of multi-genre sound and displays her personal mythos through lyrical storytelling. From 808 to acoustic folk, she falls not short in variety. Yet her sultry spoken word, velvety vocal timber and undeniable booming belts- always reminds you of who you are listening to. ... more
