Carrie ended up co-writing and singing Smith & Pledger's single, "Forever". A track that became a huge favourite for top DJ's like Armin Van Buuren, Above and Beyond and Matt Hardwick, and was featured on many of the world's leading dance compilations.
Carrie went on to work with Miami DJ/Producer Markus Schulz, Swedish DJ/Producer Mike Shiver and with Hungary's Shane 54. She made brief but significant appearances on a number of Anjunabeats releases, including Tranquility Base "Surrender" and Above & Beyond vs. Andy Moor "Air For Life".
"Time Goes By" was Carrie Skipper's first solo release, borne out of a late night jamming session involving Carrie and Above & Beyond. "Time Goes By" was remixed twice by Super8 (Miika Eloranta) who loved the song so much he begged to work on it. Super8's "Deep Mix" became a fixture in Tiesto's sets and his "Bangin' Mix" was played on BBC Radio One. David West also provided a fine remix that was a winner with many a prog trance fan, while Floris de Haan transformed "Time Goes By" into a superb top notch chill out masterpiece!
And now Armin van Buuren has done an approved mash up of "Time Goes By" with Mark Otten's "So Serene". Mark Otten vs Carrie Skipper "Time Is Serene" [Armin van Buuren Mash Up] is due for release on Armind.

Time Goes
Carrie Skipper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now you've reached the end
The game seems so unkind
When this moment ends
You'll look back to see
The love you left behind
The closer the feeling
Familiar, the faces
Reflected in your eyes
I'm with you, I know you
If only in my head
I always remember
(I always remember)
No more holding on
To a fading memory
Of how things used to be
Life will carry on
Love will always be your guide
If you just set me free
The closer the feeling
The more you recognize
Familiar, the faces
Reflected in your eyes
I'm with you, I know you
If only in my head
I always remember
You looked and me and said
Time goes by
From the point of no return
You've gotta be strong enough to learn
Time goes by
The love you leave behind
Builds a temple in your mind
In Carrie Skipper's song "Time Goes", she addresses the idea of moving on from a past love and coming to terms with the present moment. The first stanza speaks to the feeling of finding a home with someone and the difficulty in saying goodbye when that love comes to an end. The second stanza delves into the bittersweet memories that come with the realization that the love is fading. The chorus is about taking the time to reflect on the past, while also looking ahead to the future. Skipper urges the listener to embrace the present and let go of the memory of a past love, as life and love will continue to guide them forward.
The lyrics "The closer the feeling, the more you recognize, familiar the faces reflected in your eyes" suggest that as time passes, the memories of the former love will become more ingrained and familiar. Ultimately, this love will create a temple in your mind that can never be destroyed, although it can certainly be put aside to make room for new experiences.
Overall, "Time Goes" is a song that speaks to the human experience of moving on from a past love, while holding onto the memories of that love. The song beautifully communicates the emotions of reflection, gratitude, and moving forward with love as a guide.

Found your home somewhere
You've finally found a place where you belong
Now you've reached the end
You've accomplished what you set out to do
The game seems so unkind
Life can be harsh and difficult at times
When this moment ends
All good things eventually come to an end
You'll look back to see
Reflecting on past experiences can bring clarity
The love you left behind
The people you cared for and left behind will always be in your heart
The closer the feeling
The stronger the emotions become
The more you recognise
The more familiar things become
Familiar, the faces
You see people who remind you of those you care for
Reflected in your eyes
Their influence is visible in your behavior and feelings
I'm with you, I know you
I understand you and empathize with your situation
If only in my head
Even if I am not physically present, I still support you
I always remember
I have not forgotten you or the memories we share
No more holding on
It's time to let go of the past
To a fading memory
To something that is slowly disappearing from your mind
Of how things used to be
Of the way things were in the past
Life will carry on
Time will pass and new experiences will come
Love will always be your guide
The connections you have with others can provide strength and direction
If you just set me free
If you allow yourself to move on and embrace change
You looked at me and said
You expressed your thoughts and feelings to me
Time goes by
The passage of time is inevitable
From the point of no return
Once you've made a decision, there's no going back
You've gotta be strong enough to learn
You need to be resilient and willing to grow to overcome challenges
The love you leave behind
The connections you have with others can shape your memories and emotions
Builds a temple in your mind
The impact of those connections can become a foundational part of who you are

4:55 cuts through bone and marrow and then the buildup at 5:22. This track is pure perfection, trance doesn't get any better then this.
