Backstory:
Clean Time was formed in the bustling city of Los Angeles, California in 2013, when lead vocalist and guitarist, Eric Thompson, met bassist, Cynthia Johnson, in a local coffee shop. A chance encounter turned into a long discussion about their mutual passion for music, and they decided to form a band. After a few weeks of extensive auditions, they found the perfect fit in drummer, Mark Davis, and keyboardist, Kelly Parsons. The name ‘Clean Time’ doesn’t necessarily refer to sobriety or purity, rather it’s about the cleansing power of music and the profound impact it can have on our lives.
Genre:
Clean Time is known for their unique blend of Indie Pop and Soft Rock, with an undercurrent of soulful Blues. Their music is characterized by catchy hooks, introspective lyrics, and an overall feel-good vibe that resonates with their listeners.
Title: “Burning Bright”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
C G Am F
Walking down the streets of memory,
C G Am F
Looking for a sign or a remedy,
C G Am F
Caught in the whirlwind of time,
C G Am F
Waiting for the moment you’ll be mine.
(Chorus)
C G Am F
We’re burning bright, as the night falls,
C G Am F
Against the tide, we will stand tall,
C G Am F
In the darkest hour, you’re my light,
C G Am F
Together we’re burning, burning bright.
(Verse 2)
C G Am F
Through the chaos and the endless fight,
C G Am F
You’re the calm, my respite,
C G Am F
In the labyrinth of life’s design,
C G Am F
With you, every ending feels divine.
(Repeat Chorus)
