Sarah Spielman, 44, is a singer, composer with a master's degree in vocal development and a mother of 6 children. Her musical roots lie deep in a family of talented singers, cantors and composers. She grew up in a Jewish neighborhood in London to a traditional family where music was an integral part. As a child, she absorbed the basics of classical music combined with inspiration from the pop world of the 80s.

The idea for the new single was born when the kindergarten teacher called to find out the meaning of the words "No, no, no" that Sarah's two-year-old daughter blurts out at every opportunity.

""It was a wake-up call for me! I started observing my daily behavior, and discovered that my little daughter was imitating me," she says.

She took stock of herself and, in retrospect, the insights turned into a song.

""When I sat down to write TIME, all the expressions of the pressure I endured as a child, from music teachers, emerged, as well as messages of striving for perfection and demanding excellence, relentless work on the way to results, and the sense of racing to accomplish all goals in the time planned for them, and so on.".

Spielman describes a reality that led her to behave competitively, even in the face of career and family goals that she had previously set for herself and strived to meet meticulously.

It doesn't end there: while she was sitting down to write the poem, the writing paper was accidentally shifted, revealing a Chabad Shabbat leaflet underneath. On the cover was a clock with a reference to the story 'The Clock of the Prophet of Lublin.' "I realized that I had not come across this story by chance, the magic clock of the Prophet of Lublin marked with its ticking the remaining time left for redemption, thus bringing redemption closer.".

Thus, TIME took a positive turn to redefine time as a good ally, as a symbol of hope and positive vision, and as a stress-regulating trick on the way to achieving goals.

She co-wrote the melody with the talented music producer Gadi Feingold She infused the concept of "time" with positive, necessary, and stimulating content.
