About Time is a song about the struggle to find happiness and fulfillment in life. It’s a 90s-inspired alternative/grunge rock song with a dynamic range of sounds and emotion.

This is my first solo release in years, and I’m really proud of how it turned out. 

There were early versions of this song kicking around when The Velmas were working on our album "Station", but we never did record it. So, I finally did it myself. I enlisted some help from my friends Ricky Little on drums and Jason Maloney on mandolin, who added some awesome touches to the song. 

If you’re looking for some inspiration, hope, and positivity, give About Time a listen and let me know what you think!

Lyrics:

Let's try something different
Not so sad this time
Something nice to lift your heart
This today is mine
I won't be grounded

It's just about time for some inspiration
Share with us your wise words and teach us indignation

Standing toes right to the edge
of the diving board
Waiting for someone to come along
and fill up the pool
I'll wait to dive in

This today is mine

Mike Grosshandler - Status Quo

A medieval inspired track. Earthy pads and soaring vocals woven with lute, guitar, and strings. Driving drum line and airy flute to round it out.

I was probably watching The Witcher when this one came to me.
