Klinik, (sometimes called The Klinik), is an industrial music band from Belgium, originally formed around 1982 by electro-synthpop practitioner Marc Verhaeghen, who is the only constant member.
Marc Verhaeghen originally formed Klinik in the early-to-mid 1980s; the exact date varies depending on the source. The group is normally described as one of the most influential Belgian industrial bands in history.
In 1985, Verhaeghen joined forces with two other bands, Absolute Body Control (with Dirk Ivens and Eric van Wonterghem), and "The Maniacs" (Sandy Nys) to form one "super group" "Absolute Controlled Clinical Maniacs". This rather unwieldy name was soon dropped in favour of the shorter name "The Klinik". Nys soon left the band to form "Hybryds", followed in 1987 by van Wonterghem, leaving The Klinik as the "classic" duo of Dirk Ivens and Marc Verhaeghen.
The Klinik soon made a name for themselves with their cold and harsh EBM sound and their live shows, where both Ivens and Verhaeghen performed with their heads wrapped in gauze, wearing long black leather coats. Ivens' hissing vocals and minimalist lyrics were complemented by Verhaeghen's synthesizer skills and distorted trombone playing. This however, did not last forever; after Time, an album neither member was fully pleased with, musical differences became too great, and they decided to go their separate ways. In a 2013 interview, Ivens said the due were moving in different directions musically, and that compromise between only two members was challenging.
Time is a 2006 documentary television series first broadcast on BBC Four in the United Kingdom. It is written and presented by Michio Kaku.
In My Own Words is the debut studio album by American recording artist Ne-Yo, released on February 28, 2006. Four singles were released from the album, "Stay", "So Sick", "When You're Mad", and "Sexy Love". The first single, "Stay", was not as successful is its successors, being Ne-Yo's only song so far to not chart on the Billboard Hot 100.
The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with 301,000 copies sold. Ne-Yo went on tour in August 2006 with Chris Brown and Dem Franchize Boyz. The album was subsequently certified platinum with 1.6 million copies sold in the U.S., and 2 million copies sold worldwide. Upon its release, the album received generally positive reviews from most music critics, based on an aggregate score of 69/100 from Metacritic.
Ne-Yo wrote the lyrics for each song on the album. Norwegian producers StarGate produced the hit single, "So Sick", and also contributed "Sexy Love", "Let Go", and "Time" for the debut LP. Other producers on the album include Ron "Neff-U" Feemster, Brian "B-Nasty" Reid, and Jai "King" Titus of Drama Family Entertainment, who produced the first single, "Stay", and the club-friendly "Sign Me Up" as well.
A second a minute an hour a day and it’s gone
little by little it fritters away
try as you may you can never replace it
a moment of beauty you stumble upon
as long as you treasure whatever it is
whatever it is
could never be wasted
So if we all turn to dust
better to've loved and lost
cause everything has a cost
So if you're gonna spend time
spend it upon me
spend it upon me
just give me your time
I don't want your money
wohoo wohoo
I'd crawl then I'd walk then I'd run
but then I'd stumble and fall
somewhere between the love and the lust
I tried my best I was maladjusted
and I'm not saying that I know it all
maybe I'm a little more self-aware
still get scared but I've learned to trust it
So when it comes to us
I've weighed up all the odds
I bet that this is love
So if you're gonna spend time
spend it upon me
spend it upon me
just give me your time
don't take it from me
wohooo wohooo
Oh I know how hard it is
getting it right
at a time like this
so you'd better believe
believe
how right it could be
So if you're gonna spend time
spend it upon me
spend it upon me
just give me your time
I don't want your money
wohooo wohooo
wohooo wohooo
