Time Bomb

Written, Performed and Produced by Sarah Paradise-Brown

This track is not yet mastered.. it may be a bit quiet... will do another mix before this becomes the final version.  This song will complete my album due for release on 22nd Sept (This year!) 🤪

Sometimes I feel nobody
But a stand-in for everybody
An overachiever’s make-believer’s mind
But in truth I’m dying, dying
To be good enough for you

You know my trophies
The prizes they bring
They don’t win me love
They don’t mean a thing
Those medals will just turn to rust
What matters is I'm good enough

Not good enough for you
I can feel it's true
Got the world in my hands
But I'm losing you
Oh I'm shinning bright
But it's all out of view

Not good enough for you
What more can I do

Love me when I am only
Too old and just sad and lonely
An overachiever’s make-believer’s mind
But in truth I’m dying, dying
To be good enough for you

No matter if my world is falling down
My world is falling down
My world is falling down

You know my trophies
The prizes they bring
They don’t win me love
They don’t mean a thing
Those medals will just turn to rust
What matters is I'm good enough

Not good enough for you
I can feel it's true
Got the world in my hands
But I'm losing you
Oh I'm shinning bright
But it's all out of view

Not good enough for you
What more can I do

An overachiever’s make-believer’s mind
But in truth I’m dying, dying
To be good enough for you

Good Enough For You

I do love it when your brain just locks into an idea and it feels effortless to create something.  

I also like it when MY brain does that, too!  And that's what happened with "Quibble"--the latest Interbay track to drop exclusively here on SoundCloud.    

At 114bpm, it grooves instead of sprints.  The palette of sound colors is limited to just a few and the grind of repetition is a feature on this track, not a bug.  There is progression and there is acceleration, as the energy level of the song does built throughout the tracks length.  

And the lyrics construct a narrative that is about storytelling techniques and escaping a seemingly inevitable fate--"the magic of quibbles."  That sure feels like a worthy topic to make an Interbay song about!  

Is there at least a little bit of Rufus Du Sol influence here?  I think so.  Your mileage may vary, of course.  

"Keep your eyes out for those sly quibbles."  

Heading into the weekend, this slightly dark but still worthy of an enthusiastic dance track feels perfectly timed.  Hopefully you'll give this one a listen, a like, a repost and share.  Add it to a groovy dance playlist.  Leave a comment.  

Most of all, please give this page a follow.  If you'll look, there's nearly 500 original tracks in the back catalog of Interbay here--and all of these have been posted one per day for nearly 500 consecutive days.  That means, so far, every day brings a new surprise present for you to open up and check out--of course, it's always the same...a new Interbay track...but, those tracks sure aren't going to sound the same as each other!  

Worth it?  I think it is...though some may quibble with that admittedly biased opinion.

You should make your own decision.  To do that, you need to listen...and you should follow!

let me feel you this moment

A drum heavy, echo-laden, exploration into a hallucinatory experience near the water...and near to the lack of water.  And somehow, still downtempo pop.  

...and, as always, it is definitely still Interbay.  

That's the short version, explaining the origins of this latest Interbay track, "Ebb Tide".  I find myself exploring soundscape-based storytelling lately.  So, in this track, imagine that you're someone who works on a boat--sailor, fisher, etc.  They are on their boat and just waiting for the tide to roll back in so they have enough clearance to get away from their port area.  There's a song playing on the radio in the engine room, but it isn't properly tuned in--there is static...and it echoes in the hallways of the boat.  And then the engines start up...  

That's what's happening in MY mind--you may, of course, imagine something different than that...and that's absolutely valid.  That's the fun of working this style of music.  (Something that I get a certain Orchestral Manouevers in the Dark's more experimental and atmospheric stuff.)    

I promise you that there's some uptempo stuff coming, but this vibe is definitely part of what Interbay is all about too.  Hopefully you're into it.  Hopefully it makes more sense to glide into Christmas rather than sandblast you with some really noisy industrial techno pop.  

(Though, that will happen soon enough...trust me on that one.)  

I do love this sort of cinematic production--it reminds me of when I made radio commercials, trying to create a theater of the mind experience.  

Be adventurous!  Give this a listen (and a like!)  If you feel like it, you can repost it, share it, add it to a playlist or leave a comment on it.  

I would also appreciate it if you check out YESTERDAY'S track, "Couldn't Get Away"--which is an exclusive remix from a track that had debuted over on Facebook back in 2023.  I honestly thought it would be one of the more popular Interbay tracks--great wintery vibes and a cheeky sample that people my age would be amused by.  (ARE there people my age?  I think we're all dead!)

...but barely a handful of people gave it a listen.  Breaks my heart.  Every track deserves a listen, I think...but especially yesterdays.  So, if you have the time, check that one out too (and likes, reposts, shares, comments, and playlists are awesome for that one too!)  

Most of all, I'd be thrilled if you deccided to follow this page.  There's fresh Interbay EVERY SINGLE DAY (so far!)  And you never know what you're going to get--because *I* don't know what we're going to get on any given day.  (Yesterday at this time, "Ebb Tide" didn't exist...not even as an idea!)  So, why not join me in being surprised--it'll be like Christmas morning, EVERY morning!  

"Ebb Tide" *SoundCloud Exclusive*

Post-punk, dance, indie, electronic, and mutant pop in various styles (seriously!)--new tracks being posted daily (every day for over a year, so far!)
