Diamonds 03:58
Well hang on Diamonds don’t get carried away By all the things that you’re doing yester and today Don’t get me wrong my love for you will remain Because you know I’m sitting here feeling the same way So come now Ruby ya I know it’s Tuesday but I’m In need of a drink and a minute to think would be alright You see this girl I’ve been dreaming of reminds me of a lot like you Because she wearing different sneakers Stands to close to the speakers all night So come on now Diamonds don’t you go away Because my hearts for you I really want you to stay oh won't you stay But I know you gotta go gotta get out of here Because this place will be the death of you So hey Pearl the world is your oyster And know that I’ll never forget about you And next time chance brings you along Take nine and give your buddy a call So come on pick up the telephone Give your buddy a call So come on pick up the telephone Let me know you're coming So come on pick up the telephone Give your buddy a call So come on pick up the telephone Let me know you're coming home!

The Crux 02:44
Well here’s a story you won’t believe Please listen so you can receive This message doesn’t come in a bottle It’s time for change before we all go down See you got six billion people trying to breath When it costs money to buy something for free When the ground begins to crumble My question here is where do we all go now With an act of war on the world’s stage We’re all trapped in a dying age When all the bombs and people run out My question for you is where do we go from here Where do we go from here x3 I’m a little bitter as you can tell But I know this story well I can see hope on lye on our horizon We all must keep on rising up Never giving up

I'll be 05:05
It’s breaking fast the waves come on rolling in All you have to do is ask and I’ll let you win These days I’ll take only the best of you Because this life worth living can really make a mess or two When the day breaks I’ll be watching you roll on What’s important to me may not be to them But if they’d open their eyes they’d see me looking in Don’t try to hide behind those lying eyes Because you know I’ll be standing here asking you why oh why When the ground shakes I’ll be watching tumble on When the ground shakes I’ll be watching you roll on There’s too much pressure you put on yourself my friend You take too little give more than you can Ten times I’ve heard you say I’m dying Chris But when I see your face light up I know you’re trying this time When the night falls I’ll be watching you go home When the night falls I’ll be watching you roll on When the night falls I’ll be watching you With every sense to go on and your insecurity You stand the tallest in the crowd now they look to you and wonder how You seem to be unshaken by all the things that have been taken why Are the worst things happen to the best of people When they least expected it well I guess it’s just the way it goes No one can explain it I guess it’s just the way it goes Comes a time for a change from a rhyme to a truth Set the human heart right the rest should follow suit These city walls are not bars on our cage our rage Keep them out of your pocket and their hands off your fate When the time comes I’ll be x3

Malibu 03:45
A season for change is a reason for age Part of a cycle goes beyond what I know Sometimes with all your feelings you’ve found The pressures mounting Mountains and fountains of knowledge and countdowns To right now My Malibu dancer one hand to the lips And the other on the hip From a sip of divine to a kick and crime My Malibu dancer x2 With one foot on the table and the other out the door Can’t stay here any longer if these feet aren’t on the floor Spend too much time thinking too little time to waste You’re standing here breathing while memories take their place My Malibu dancer one hand to the lips And the other on the hip From a sip of divine to kickin it right My Malibu dancer x4

Far below 03:39
I’m holding back What’s my problem anyway Is it a lack of confidence That keeps me here Well I know it takes a step And then another few But I’ve been walking my whole life Just to see this through And I know I’ll keep going Because I owe it to myself With know way of knowing Just gotta let go of all these chains Admit to myself things will never be the same Don’t look down It’s far below and fading fast Yesterday has long gone past You’ve got to wake from your sleep The choice is up to you You can just lay down here and die Or you can follow through Because you know you'll keep going Because you owe it to yourself With no way of knowing Just gotta let go of what remains Admit to yourself you’ll never be the same You'll never be the same Don’t look down It’s far below and fading fast Yesterday has long gone.

So you’re the king of the rollers How does it feel to be walking on the front line While all the others at the same time Are taking numbers for their chance to shine Well i’ve always considered That you can’t win unless you lose it’s a long way But you’ve gotta be here to stay To fight off that twisting hand of fate Well what do you hear? When I tell you it won’t be long before it all comes down Buildings one by one start to drown Hear the clang of loosening shackles What a sound Heaven in a nut shell would be harder to find I bet And my will is getting stronger with every step I get closer Sometimes it feels like I am crawling Sometimes it feels like I could fly So you’re the queen of the rollers How does it feel to be walking on a thin line On either side the great divide With one slip you’ll be erased by time You should always consider That you can’t win unless you choose it’s a long road But you’ve got to be sure to know That roots are needed for your tree to grow Well what do you fear When I tell you it won’t be long before it all comes clear Royalty in rings throwing down Hear the clang of falling shackles Echoing on then gone.

Be leaving 01:58
Hands off that lady you got there I think you’ve got the wrong one Because the one eye love is in your arms son I think she’s coming with me But it’s funny how you’re standing with him And leaving me alone If it’s tears you’re asking for I’ve got a few but not much more I think I’ll be leaving Well when I walked away that day Not once looking back I thought to myself what a lion of a lady Couldn’t ask for anything more No matter how hard it’s been for me To let go and move on I’ll always keep you here in the back of my mind Just the two of us dancing so we can rewind time Well a lifetimes past all my years have gone But I’m still thinking of you In a blink of an eye it has gone to fast I’ve still got so much to do But on the top of my list is to find out where you’ve gone Oh where did you go? I hope you’re somewhere close still thinking of me I’ve got my dancing shoes on I’m going to keep on believing.

Otherwise 02:11
Holes in the ceiling breeze caught in firelight Escaping the ragged shadows of the night Sometimes the answers are wearing masks But they will vanish only if you ask Because nothing in this world comes for free Except the light that resides in the minds of you and me You gotta take that chance You’ve gotta roll them dice You gotta carry on Otherwise

Here i stand 03:10
Oh Ani girl when I saw your smile Your eyes were shining Your voice was ringing proud Well I thought to myself There had been an angel Sent to show me why I belong here There you stood before me So strong and striking Oh Mr. BB sir when I saw your smile I knew you were the king So modest in nature An inspiration for sure Because getting older ain’t easy But I saw in you a younger me There you stood before me So handsome and proudly There you stood before me Oh do you see me when I smile I was hoping that it would become contagious Because happiness must come raging out of us Don’t let it die there with a bitter stare Because this life we live won’t last Here I stand before you Stepping out of my hiding Well here I stand before you.

Well time he waits for no one Likes lines being drawn in the sand Cause soon they will wash away Hold on to what you’ve been dreaming of All those days spent scheming up Can drift off in vain Now the time has come For all to be put aside Like you worries and fears excuses and tears Cause they don’t really mean much When you’re standing here acting tough I can see through your disguise By the look in your eyes So you finally show up The woman I’ve been dreaming of Been waiting so long But I knew you would come around Because you’re stronger than all The things that could bring you down No looking back x3

about

In 2007, Canadian born Musician/Artist Chris Francis, decided to record some songs he had written. Spent the next 3 years recording and mixing the record in Vancouver, working with some All-Star musicians such as Matt Mei, Adam Drake, Tom Gould, Cassius Khan, the list goes on.. Then it sat on the shelf for the past 3 years waiting, longing for it's moment. Chris comments, "The time has come to release it into the wild.. put to rest the ghosts that haunt this album."

From the opening track 'Diamonds' with its upbeat jazzy groove and slick horns, to the heartfelt introspective 'Far Below'. The whirlwind tablas and violin of 'I'll Be', to the final installment 'No Looking Back', 'Save a little for later' is a collection of songs that proves to be a roller coaster of emotions and a valid representation of that period in Chris' life.

Almost 8 years later from concept to completion, Chris breaths easy and says,” The perfectionist in me is saying it'll never be done, but I've learned to know when to say when. It’s time to let it go."

Whether it's singing and playing songs, or painting a canvas, Chris Francis is a conduit for creativity. Stay tuned, I'm sure there's more to come!
