Lawrence can currently be seen in the ABC Family original comedy series Melissa & Joey, whose 2010 premiere holds the honor of being the network’s most-watched comedy series debut ever, co-starring with Melissa Joan Hart.
Joey Lawrence has long had a knack for capturing the musical zeitgeist. At age 16, he began a recording career and in 1993 he released a self-titled debut album. The album was produced by Terry Lupton, Ian Prince and Teddy Riley. Lawrence also co-wrote songs on the album, including the international hit single Nothin’ My Love Can’t Fix (Billboard Hot 100 Airplay #6, Billboard Top 40 Mainstream #10, Billboard Hot 100 #19).
Lawrence has always said music was his real passion. “It's been way too long since I've brought some new music out to my fans. I'm really excited about my brand new record. I had the privilege to write this entire record with super-producer Matthew Gerrard. We first started collaborating about a year ago and instantly connected on many levels with our music. We just kept going and going–and 9 months later had a complete record.”
Producer and co-writer Gerrard, whose chart-topping artists include Delta Goodrem, Kelly Clarkson, and Hannah Montana, says “Joey’s new album is awesome. Radio ready hits that will make you wanna dance. Bumpin’ tracks and killer vocals!” Lawrence explains: “My music is all about feeling good. It's time to get back to having fun. That's what I want my music and tour to be all about. I truly can't wait to release the record and get out there and perform the crap out of my new songs!!” (His dancing prowess is an audience favorite, too, with appearances on “Dancing with the Stars,” the TLC series “Masters of Dance,” and in the Broadway hit Chicago as Billy Flynn.)
Timeless
Joey Lawrence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it always broke your heart
You know those paper rings, girl, always fall apart
They say that nothing lasts too long
But I know something that's gonna stay forever strong...
Our love is timeless like a summer day
Forever soulful like Marvin Gaye
I love you, baby, timelessly
Ooh baby... ooh...
Watching the world go by
Changing everyday
They tear down a thing of beauty
To build some new highway
What's here today may disappear
But baby, our love surely will survive the years
Because it's timeless like a summer day
And everlasting as a Shakespeare play
Baby, timeless as a melody
I love you baby, timelessly
Ooh...
Where there is love
There is endless hope and boundless dreams
When you got love
There's no limits to be seen
Girl, you know what I mean
They say that nothing lasts too long
But I know something that's gonna stay forever strong...
Our love is timeless
Like a summer day
Forever soulful like Marvin Gaye
Baby, timeless as a melody
I love you, baby, timelessly...
Timeless like a summer day
Forever soulful as a Shakespeare play
Baby, timeless, as a melody
I love you baby, timelessly...
Ooh...
In "Timeless" by Joey Lawrence, the song's narrator assures the woman he loves that their bond is unbreakable and timeless, in contrast to the fleeting nature of paper rings and the impermanence of beauty in the world. He acknowledges the pain she's experienced in love before, but tells her that he knows their love is different and won't succumb to the inevitable changes that life brings. In the chorus, he compares their love to a summer day, the soulful music of Marvin Gaye, and a melody that will never be forgotten.
The lyrics emphasize the importance of love as a source of stability in a rapidly changing world, and express the idea that true love is something that endures through time and space. The theme of love's enduring power is further emphasized in the bridge, where the singer asserts that where love exists, there is hope and endless possibility. Overall, Lawrence's song is a heartfelt ode to the power and importance of love, and a reminder that meaningful connection can persist through even the most tumultuous of times.
