about

On this new single ,'Time of Your Life' sees Miller in an inquisitive, plaintive mood, sitting at home alone as inertia creeps, watching stories of youth suicide on TV. The song is full of arresting visuals and a nagging sense there’s more to be done. “What are you waiting for, your time’s gone a running,” he sings rhetorically, a ping of optimism as he flips the final word of the chorus. 'Time of Your Life' charts modern malaise with a glide in its stride: the mid-tempo drums of Tom Kaldor and bass from William Miller keep the boat from sinking as Des works through a knotted stomach, eventually releasing the tension with falsetto, a dash of spoken word, a breakdown (both musical and spiritual) then one final hurrah as the synths, backing vocals and guitars coalesce neatly.

lyrics

The time of your life,
Has gone and flashed before your very eyes,
There’s no surprise you’re out tonight.
A kiss upon your lips and then a look,
You ask yourself... “what am I doing here?”

What are you waiting for your time’s gone a runnin’ time’s gone a running?
What are you waiting for? Your time
What are you waiting for your time’s gone a runnin’ time’s gone a running?
What are you waiting for? Your time

An evening alone,
At home the lights of television shine with pictures of crime and youth suicide.
You scrape your mother’s plate into the trash and ask yourself... “what am I doing here?”

What are you waiting for your time’s gone a running?
What are you waiting for? Your time

All the things you did and said
Ohhhhh
All the games you played instead
Ohhhhh
You could have laughed you could have cried
Ohhhhh
But you never even tried

It’s Saturday night, the city lights and cigarettes are lit.
We all play our bit parts right.
The drunk, the vague, the vain, the plain insane
We ask ourselves... “what are we doing here?”

What are we waiting for our time’s gone a running, time’s gone a running?
What are we waiting for our time.
What are we waiting for our time’s gone a running, time’s gone a running?
What are we waiting for our time.
