GreenWing Shares “At The Time,” The First Single From Upcoming Album, Eatin It
Canadian band GreenWing has unveiled their new single, “At The Time,” from their upcoming sophomore album, Eatin It, set for release on March 15, 2024.
“At The Time” is a song that tackles the awkward moments in life when you think everything is just fine until someone close to you helps you achieve a new perspective on your situation and suddenly your eyes are opened to the reality with the newfound clarity. In the case of vocalist Matt Stinn, this was when a group of his friends lovingly staged an intervention to check on his mental and physical well-being following a year that could only be summed up as “hell”. Tackling this heavy topic with a tongue-in-cheek attitude, this song’s playful vocals lean heavily on the one-two punch of GreenWing’s rhythm section featuring Travis Wiliams on bass and Kolton Kimbley on drums. All these elements are topped with a tasteful sprinkling of melodic hooks supplied by lead guitarist, Anthony Allegretto.
Review
GreenWing’s “At The Time” offers a poignant exploration of self-discovery, struggle, and the passage of time. The vivid imagery and emotive lyrics vividly capture the narrator’s experiences and emotions during a significant period of their life.
Throughout the song, the recurring chorus serves as a poignant anchor, encapsulating the narrator’s emotional state at that time. The repetition of “At the time, I felt alright” emphasizes the transient nature of emotions, underscoring the subjective nature of personal experience.
In essence, “At The Time” possesses a captivating allure that deeply resonates with listeners, inviting them to immerse themselves in a journey of profound self-reflection and introspection.
