Talk Time are back and ready to dazzle us once again with their hypnotizing new track, “Colors.” Taken from the bands upcoming debut EP due out April 9, “Colors” celebrates the choices we make in life and how they relate to our overall unique story.
It’s no secret that carving your own path in life comes with a ton of unsolicited opinions, but the only way to true happiness and fulfillment is by taking those steps and risks that you need to take in order to reach your full potential.
“‘Colors’ is celebrating choices we make in life, the sort of decisions that you really own and end up ringing true and feel authentic to you. I remember watching this Alan Watts animation where he compared life and music, where the end isn’t the point, but the journey. That may be a tired sentiment but I took it to heart when I watched it years ago. Breaking off the norm and making your own strides in life can be very difficult or feel aimless. I think that’s why when you are able to carve your own path in a positive and authentic way it’s something to be celebrated, and through the journey you’ll keep adding experience and changing and witness others and the planet (and universe) doing the same, experiencing an array of colors, guaranteed.
Dynamically it was supposed to feel like a life lived from birth to death, but shot through in light speed through a roller coaster. Starting with a simple beat, the opening line is welcoming a newborn by consoling them as they start their journey (“don’t you think too hard we just might get out of this”) and we just ride the roller coaster to until we shed our mortal coil and join the ether / oceans as a kind of swan song moment.”
