As the weekend approaches I often look for music that will soothe my soul from the chaos of a busy week. Mellow and smooth are important but not something that just is boring drivel with no feeling. This week’s search came up with something quite perfect. Let us introduce you to William Hayden (aka TimeSeven) and his soon to be released single “When We Were Young.”
Hailing from a small town in Covington, Indiana, the songwriter, composer, and producer shares his love for music and its therapeutic effects. William Hayden always had it in him but finally turned to writing and releasing his songs relatively late in life. This has provided a wide berth of real life experiences and feelings for him to share. These personal experiences are truly relatable to the listener and as honest as can be.
For his upcoming single “When We Were Young” released under his TimeSeven moniker, Hayden shares his take on the true love stories he has seen. Both in his own relationship with his wife, as well as seeing his sisters’ strong long term love with their husbands.
Opening up with a beautiful acoustic guitar melody sets a relaxing tone right off the bat. Bringing in country artist Brad Williams to provide the vocals heightens the emotion and prettiness of the song. As the drums come in the song shifts to a more pop rock ballad with real energy. This keeps the track fresh and different from many of the songs that seem to get boring after a few listens. This mesh of genres within one track sets the TimeSeven sound apart with a perfect balance. There is a real depth in the lyrics for the listener to dive into and become a part of the memories. This connection and compassion bleeds through the speakers directly into your soul. The magical power of quality songwriting.
Overall, “When We Were Young” by TimeSeven is a beautifully crafted song that is sure to resonate with all lovers of soulful music that will help us all ease into a relaxing and reflective weekend. Enjoy more from William Hayden and TimeSeven HERE.
