About the artist

Tim Reis has been writing music for decades, but only recently has the time to really pay attention to it. His songs show the influence of the folk/country/pop/rock sound that came out of LA in the '60s and '70s.

Lyrics

This is called life
This is what you do
This is how the days go by, it should not bother you
And though night may fall in the end of it
There’s nothing you should fear
(‘cause) This is called life
Let it whisper in your ear

Alarm clock barks, “Good morning!”
Throw your feet toward the floor
Guzzle down some coffee
And you’re headed out the door
Where you meet a million others
Who are doing much the same
And all the time inside your head
You’re singing this refrain

chorus

Out upon the ocean
There's a guy from out of town
He's tied up to the bowsprit
And his ship is going down
As his crew abandons stations
Captive to the sirens' song
He smiles to think of this old tune
And starts to sing along

chorus

Every day we struggle
To be good and brave and strong
To fill up every hour
And be more often right than wrong
We fall short of our ambitions
We exceed our wildest dreams
And it’s okay if in the end
We don’t know what it means

Chorus
