Self-described as “a messy Logic Pro session with about 100 instrument tracks and about 50 reverb plugins,” There Comes a Time was written with an 80’s/nostalgia feel in mind. Govs himself has stated that what the song about is up to interpretation. A fellow Gold Coast musician, San Mei, is featured...
[Intro]
There comes a time
We all fade away
We, we all, we, we
We all fade away
There comes a time, yeah
There comes a time, yeah
We all fade away
We all fade away
[Chorus]
When your face hangs over, over
When your face hangs over, over
When your face hangs over
When your face hangs over, over
[Verse]
We won't go back back
No, not on my watch
No not on my watch, girl
Yeah, we won't go back, yeah
No, not on my watch, girl
No, not on my watch, girl
[Pre-chorus]
We're singin'
We won't go back, yeah
No, not on my watch
No, not on my watch, girl
We're singin'
We won't go back, yeah
No, not on my watch, girl
No, not on my watch, girl
[Chorus]
When your face hangs over, over
When your face hangs over, over
When your face hangs over, over
When your face hangs over, over
When your face hangs over, over
When your face hangs over, over
When your face hangs over
When your face hangs over, over
When your face hangs over, over
When your face hangs over, over
When your face hangs over, over
When your face hangs over, over
When your face hangs over, over
When your face hangs over, over
When your face hangs over
When your face hangs over, over
There Comes a Time was written by Josiah Birrell.
There Comes a Time was produced by Josiah Birrell.
Govs released There Comes a Time on Thu Aug 13 2015.
Regarding NBA and Grand Theft Auto samples used, Josiah said, “My imagination for that part was to paint a picture of the ghetto street which leads into a big city of fame and fortune … it’s a metaphor/juxtaposition of being down and out and feeling on top.”
