This year is the 20th anniversary of ‘Z’, one of the great classics of My Morning Jacket. In addition, it has a new album called ‘is’ that will take for sale next month, specifically on March 21. Louisville’s tenth album Kentucky, Brendan O’Brien (Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam) has produced and we have already met two advances from him.
This week ‘Squid Ink’ has come out, dedicated according to Jim James to “people who carry a negativity that fills the room, like a squid releasing ink in the water.” And he adds: “It’s about trying to get out of those murky waters believing yourself.” But it is the first, edited a few weeks ago, which we select as a song of the day.
The Pias Seal defines ‘Time Waited’ as “a love song for eternity, impregnated in equal parts of romanticism and nostalgia.” It emerged from piano chords borrowed from the album ‘Emmons Guitar Inc’ by Buddy Emmons.
That beautiful piano arrangement is the leit motiv to expose a very beautiful and optimistic lyrics, which holds the theory that love can do everything, even stop time. The first verse of the first stanza says that “time does not wait for anyone,” but the last contrast, with the title of the song: “Time waited for you and me.” The letter defends the idea that “true love lasts forever”, although “the clock goes every year faster.” Deconsolated, Jim James confesses at a time “I have cried on your shoulder, thinking about the idea of getting old,” but raises a solution, credible for 3 minutes and 39 seconds: “If we do something now, time will wait and the world It will be here for us.
Jim James indicates: «I made a loop with that piano intro and listened to it while taking a walk, and all these melodies began to arrive. For a long time I did not have the lyrics, until I dreamed that I was in a cafeteria and a song sounded, and the lyrics of that song became the lyrics of “Time Waited”: the melodies fit perfectly. The letter is about how flexible the time is, how we can bend and deform it, especially if we follow our heart, the universe and the time can flow to work with us ». We leave you with the video, an performance on the TV and the tracklist of the album.
