In 2020, I, along with many folks around the world, stopped playing live shows. I also stopped writing songs with lyrics. It was something about my voice. I didn’t want to hear it.* During this moment, time was on all of our minds. We had a lot of it. Pre-pandemic, we seemed to be in a rush. And for some, post-pandemic, that pace came back with a vengeance.
I never wanted to be late. I feared late. But then someone issued me the challenge – be late. Challenge accepted.
This EP is the culmination of that meditation. I wrote these songs between 2020 and 2025. The song titles may be ridiculous, but so is always being on time.
Be late. (Unless it’s an emergency, of course. Or dinner’s ready.)
*I am writing songs with lyrics again. Yay.
All songs composed, performed, mixed, and mastered by Michael Aquino
