![]() For All Time (2006) [ larger cover art ] |
Does it get lonely in the day
All by yourself in this big old place
Do you ever come out and play
Scream out loud or walk the stage
And maybe you are looking down tonight
Maybe you can see
Burning like an old spotlight
Shining down on me
Oh it must be great
To have this enormous estate
Rebecca, do you think it's fate
That brought me here onto your stage
And you always played it by heart
Like a patron saint, a patron of the arts
Was it ever hard to justify it
To someone else, or to yourself
Rebecca, I know you understand
Why I write these songs
Rebecca, I overheard the plan
But I don't know what happens when you're gone
And whether I write three chords
Or a symphony
At least I'm gonna try to leave behind
Some kind of legacy
So Rebecca, if you're looking down tonight
Then maybe you can see
Burning like an old spot light
This legacy left behind
And maybe you are looking down tonight
Maybe you can see
Burning like an old spotlight
Shining down, on me
| michaelgmitchell (Belleville, ON) | Posted: Dec 28, 2010 - 08:39 I mean, it's nice. The problem I'm having is that there are about 15 young ladies up here in Canada getting airplay lately on CBC channels and podcasts - and they ALL sound the same. That cutesy, Harmer-like feel. After a few, it gets a little tiresome. |
| kootzy (Left Coast) | Posted: Nov 26, 2010 - 16:36 Wow, I was really surprised to see that this WASN'T Sarah Harmer! Hard to tell the vocals apart. |
| mrdak (Middle GA) | Posted: Sep 16, 2010 - 18:15 Outstanding ......... ![]() |
| Randomax (Wimberley, TX) | Posted: Aug 23, 2010 - 07:21 Wow - I keep thinking this is Martha Wainright |

| kundera (secondlife) | Posted: Oct 03, 2009 - 14:35 I could have sworn that this was Sarah Harmer. Oh well, this is pretty. |
| EssexTex (Pitching a tent) | Posted: Sep 21, 2009 - 09:20 I'm guessing we're talking a Honda Legacy eh Bill? |

| alux (atop the pyramid) | Posted: Apr 12, 2009 - 16:20 Y'all are crazy. She doesn't sounds like Sarah Harmer at all. Competely different inflection. |

| cosmiclint (Vancouver BC) | Posted: Mar 19, 2009 - 15:44 Great to hear Jill on RP. I caught her a couple years back at the Media Club here in Vancouver, opening for Wintersleep. We filmed both acts. I never got to see the final results. Hey BigA - did you ever get around to editing that show? |

| conglif | Posted: Mar 10, 2009 - 17:07 Very nice. Great vocal track, and all the instruments just seem to nestle around them without stepping on the feel thereof... ...Plus I'm a sucker for a good pedal steel (when its not corny). |
| tm (Atlanta) | Posted: Mar 10, 2009 - 17:03 8>9 I've missed hearing this song... |
| pyxxel (Dublin, Ireland) | Posted: Feb 16, 2009 - 02:46 Pleasant, but ordinary. Give it a 4 - for the induced boredom I get from it! :) |
| bigA (Vancouver, Canada) | Posted: Feb 08, 2009 - 14:09 I have seen her perform live many times, I just get lost in her lyrics! |
| Mark_Moosier (Yukon, Canada) | Posted: Feb 02, 2009 - 16:41 Please play some Sarah Harmer so I can say she sounds like Jill Barber. |
| dynamaniak (Ottawa Ontario Canada) | Posted: Jan 28, 2009 - 06:40 She really sounds like Canadian songstress Sara Slean - I like :) |
| jenakle (Tallahassee, FL) | Posted: Jan 28, 2009 - 06:39 Why does this bring scenes of Gilmore Girls to mind? |

| arsenault (long beach cali US and A) | Posted: Jan 23, 2009 - 17:39 she sounds great... i like her so far. |
| pixalman (Santa Cruz, CA) | Posted: Jan 17, 2009 - 13:44 Not to rock the boat of "sounds like Sarah Harmer" me-toos, but I was hoping this would turn out to be Emily Haines when I first heard it. |
| KurtfromLaQuinta (Yep. I'm still here in La Quinta.) | Posted: Jan 15, 2009 - 09:53 Love the pedal steel. |


The whole album is good!
