Ha! You did it you dig it you sell it you got what you wanted
Ha! You fake it you make it you take it you got what you wanted
Ha! You bet it you let it you set it you got what you wanted
Ha! You fill it you spill it you milk it you got what you wanted
It’s been a year and I don’t want to hear excuses
Listen to me, the negativity is useless
Time to get up off your lazy ass and pay attention
Time to get up and get rid of all your possessions
Time to get up up, ha, ha, ha, ha
Time to get up up, ha, ha, ha, ha
It’s about time you start to realize
It’s about time I start to wonder why
I keep standing on the same crossroads
Watching my own feet run slow
It’s about time I start to realize
I’m better than this
Ha! You did it you dig it you sell it you got what you wanted
Ha! You fake it you make it you take it you got what you wanted
Ha! You bet it you let it you set it you got what you wanted
Ha! You fill it you spill it you milk it you got what you wanted
Why is it that you don’t play a note of any music?
Acting like you own the place, when you’re totally useless
Time to get up off your lazy ass and pay attention
Time to get up and get rid of all your possessions
It’s about time you start to realize
It’s about time I start to wonder why
I keep standing on the same crossroads
Watching my own feet run slow
It’s about time I start to realize
I’m better than this
I’m better than this
Gotta get out of this, gotta get out of this
Gotta get out of this phase
It’s about time you start to realize
It’s about time I start to wonder why
I keep standing on the same crossroads
Watching my own feet run slow
It’s about time I start to realize
I’m better than this

About Time
Rié
A song about the journey from frustration to enlightenment, from feeling lost standing in the middle of the crossroads to realizing that it was "about time" to realize that the answers are actually right in front of you, in order to do achieve your goals and pursue your own path. The music video is an eclectic dance collaboration featuring a talented contemporary dancer KINO and a kabuki actor Kazutaro Nakamura, expressing the traditional notion of female suppression and emancipation. Produced by Squizzle (London).

Rié
Rié (pronounced ree-ay) Funakoshi - known simply as Rié - is a singer-songwriter of rare melodic grace whose music resonates with the lush splendour of Karen Carpenter and the acoustic intimacy of Suzanne Vega. But there are signs in her sound of an artist teetering on the edge between MOR and the avant-garde. Listening to her reminds you that, from Kate Bush and Björk to Bat For Lash-es, some of the most interesting, experimental pop has one ear attuned to the mainstream. She came to music via painting, having studied Fine Art at London's Central Saint Martin's. When speaking about her art-based background: "I never thought I'd be a singer because I was shy and wanted to create and paint rather than have people look at me onstage," admits Rié, who was born in Japan and grew up in Tokyo in a family of medics ("I didn't get any of their doctor DNA," she laughs). A Rié song might be about anything - she even has one about eyelash extensions - but these are merely the launchpad for a series of thrillingly inventive meditations on the human condition. "There's nothing I wouldn't write about," she says. "I'd welcome the challenge of writing about the most unexpected thing. " "Japanese poetry and writing are all about saying something through something else, implying obliquely," she muses. "In a Japanese poem, if something is beautiful, you never use the word 'beautiful'; you refer to it without spelling it out." Paul Lester, September 2016 Artist logo by Airside Studios Japan
