Chantal Kreviazuk - "Time" (2002)

Chantal Kreviazuk (just make up your own pronunciation) is a Canadian singer/songwriter who has seen a good deal of success in the Great White North. She’s an acclaimed songwriter who has collaborated on hits for Avril Lavigne and Kelly Clarkson. Now, right now I can feel my rock and roll street cred slowly disappearing, but trust me Kreviazuk writes some really cool songs. Granted they do lean more to the pop side of the spectrum, but you have to appreciate her craft. If it helps, she is married to fellow Canadian rock star Raine Maida, lead singer of Our Lady Peace. Today’s song comes from her 2002 album What If It All Means Something and it has some very cool piano and string arrangements. Kreviazuk released her fourth album Ghost Stories last year and has still seen little success in the U.S., but when she’s the one writing the songs that are dominating pop radio, it’s hard to understand why she hasn’t broken through. But I’m sure she will and now you can say you knew her when.
