Armed with a razor blade, egg white and a drum loop...Aria has created another original song, recording and video. The song was inspired by hearing about a friend who was down on their luck and dealing with getting older.

SURPRISE – by Aria Stone
Oh World You took me by surprise
Oh World You took me by surprise
The wind is blowing and the fire is burning
No change in my pocket and the world goes ‘round
Lady luck was my state of mind
So tell me how I got left behind
Oh World You took me by surprise
Where did the time go
Oh World You took me by surprise
Where did the years go
Had a push in my step that made you scream
On top of my game and feeling strong
Was it something I said that made me fall
I thought I knew life but I don’t know now
Oh World You took me by surprise
Where did the time go
Oh World You took me by surprise
Where did the years go
Every step you take Leads you to another
When I turned around There you were
Like a shining star To discover
Now I think I know Who you are
Oh World You took me by surprise
Where did the time go
Oh World You took me by surprise
Where did the years go
Oh World You took me by surprise
Where did the time go
Oh World You took me by surprise
Where did the years go
Oh World You took me by surprise
Where did the time go
