About “Time In Your Hands”

“Time In Your Hands” is a heartfelt and introspective song by Marie Hopkinson that gently explores the value of time, reflection on life’s journey after a change or loss, amidst life with social media. Where do we go when loss hits us hard and are we caught in a comparison trap that only worsens the pain. With her warm, soulful vocals and delicate acoustic arrangement, this track creates an emotional space that resonates deeply.

Perfect for music supervisors looking for a reflective female singer-songwriter track for emotional montages, life reflection scenes, loss journey, modern breakup or thoughtful dramatic moments in film, TV, and advertising.

Lyrics

VERSE 1:

Where do we belong

Now that everything has gone?

Where do we go now

New spaces we find somehow

VERSE 2:

Who do you turn to?

You lost the ones who knew

Who’s shoulder do you cry on

Now that what you had is gone?

PRE CHORUS:

You wanted this space

You made it happen

Now Your all alone,

with all your thoughts and no one else

You wanted this room

Made it happen

Your by yourself

In the void created

CHORUS:

Now I’m sitting here watching the highlight reel

Of other people’s lives

Living out their time

It hurts me inside

Now I’m sitting here watching the highlight reel

Of everybody else

All these things that you think that you need

In good time

VERSE 3:

Where do we go now

looking at places to travel to

how do I tell you how I feel

It’s so hard so I will…

CHORUS:

Now I’m sitting here watching the highlight reel

Of other people’s lives

Living out their time

It hurts me inside

Now I’m sitting here watching the highlight reel

Of everybody else

All these things you think you need

In good time

BRIDGE:

Time on your hands

Its like a poison

Polluting my mind

Time in your hands

All these comparisons,

I feel left behind

Now I’m sitting here watching the highlight reel

Of other people’s lives

Living out their time

It hurts me inside

CHORUS:

Now I’m sitting here watching the highlight reel

Of everybody else

All these things you think you need

In good time

Time on your hands

Its like a poison

Polluting my mind
