Shari Ulrich – “These Lines” – Recording session
Filmed during the recording of the song at Monarch Studios in Vancouver, BC from the album Back To Shore, this song about the relentless march of time and the roadmap it leaves behind. We run from it, try and hide it, and even feel some odd and useless shame around it. My mother always said how odd it was to feel 25 on the inside and look in the mirror and see something so different. I get it now.

LYRICS:
I look in the mirror
And wonder who’s looking back
She looks familiar, But I’m not as old as that
Face that is peering and questioning
How this could be
Once was a time oh, that I was invincible
Soon by and by I know I’ll be invisible
But right now I’m smiling
And right here’s where I want to be
All I’ve lived and breathed
Is still inside of me
And with each line on my face
There’s a big long life to trace
That I’m not gonna hide
I’ll wear them all with pride
These lines
These ‘round my lips are from kissing and whistling
Blowing out candles and all of that wishing
The worry that those I hold dear
Are going to be okay
And yes there’s a few from losses and old regrets
Times I was hurtful & thoughtless with what I said
But most you notice are from life making me smile
All I used to be, is still inside of me
And with each line on my face
There’s a long story we trace
A little tough, and a little wild
I earned them all and it took awhile
These lines
All I used to be, is still inside of me
And with each line on my face
There’s a long life that I wouldn’t trade
I know there’s quite a few
Well I drew them all to get to you
I love these lines
