Music will always have amazing powers. Whether just listening to get away from the realities of your life or creating music to share your own stories and struggles, music can be exactly what you need it to be. That power is undeniable. Our recent discovery William Hayden and his Timeseven Productions are a great example of what music can do even if one takes the long road to get there.
Much like most of us starting to play music in our teenage years, William Hayden assumed it would be a great life to just make music for a living. And like most of us, reality set in and a “real” job and career path become the road we all traveled. This is NOT a bad thing though because it gives all of us the chance to build up life experience and stories that we can later infuse into our music.
Now in his “later” years William Hayden finds it therapeutic to write songs from the past he has experienced with his Timeseven project. Memories of joy, heartache, failures and triumphs have started to flow into his songwriting. Bringing in some collaborators has really fleshed out his sound in a complete way.
March 29th will see the release of the newest single by Timeseven “When You’re Home.” Opening with an elegant guitar melody sets the stage for a relaxing and emotional ride. The vocals of country artist Brad Williams are delivered with heartfelt emotion drawing us all into the song. Layers of smooth guitars are added filling the full sonic space without anything overpowering the vibe. This is helped by the mix and master of 10x Grammy-Winning engineer Darrell Thorp. William says “This song is about home, love, loss, rediscovery, and reconciliation.” We can feel it all as we let it wash over us. A perfect song to just chill out and absorb.
