You Had Time
"You Had Time" is a song written and recorded by American songwriter Ani DiFranco from her 1994 album '' Out of Range''. The song, which was one of her more critically lauded from the album, describes the complicated emotions associated with the breakup of a long-term relationship. The album recording begins with an acoustic piano solo of more than two minutes, before breaking into the song itself. Writer and occasional music journalist Nick Hornby featured the song in his work ''31 Songs'' (also known as ''Songbook''), in which he discussed his thoughts on a number of his favourite songs. He attributes the two-minute solo to a depiction of the creative process behind the song. Hornby also suggests that "You Had Time" is an example of a song that, while it may not read as poetry on paper, nevertheless makes for a beautiful song. The song was used in the 2001 Canadian film ''Lost and Delirious'' as the backdrop to a montage of one of the protagonists' reactions to grief at the bre ...
