A Special Music Arrangement
“A Thousand Years - Janis Ian”
Written by Janis Ian and Russ Taff, A Thousand Years is a song of quiet emotions and lasting warmth.
Shirley created the keyboard music arrangement for this recording, layering her instrumentation beneath Janis Ian’s original vocals and guitar track with care and restraint, honoring the song’s emotional core and timeless character.
After hearing the arrangement, Janis was so moved that she chose to release it as an official single on her own record label.
“Janis Ian is a multiple Grammy®-winning songwriter whose work has shaped generations.”
As Robert Frost wrote,
“No tears in the writer. . .
No tears in the reader"
If a song touches my heart while I’m creating it, I trust it will reach yours when you listen.
While I don’t sing on my albums — at least not yet — many of my songs begin with lyrics I’ve written from the heart.
I hope my music becomes part of your own story.
Thank you for listening. ❤️ Love & Peace, Shirley
