Posted by Even a global pandemic can’t stop The Clause.
The band sold out two colossal UK tours before coronavirus shut the venues, forcing the quartet to re-group.
Locked away in their homes, The Clause kept writing, swapping new ideas and bolstering their ambitions.
New single ‘Time Of Our Lives’ came from this period. It’s a song about frustration and release, a yearning for the sense of connection that only a sweat-drenched venue can provide.
An all-out indie anthem, ‘Time Of Our Lives’ taps into their live energy, while displaying an increased sense of studio control.
A slick, pared down guitar pop bullet, it was written, recorded, and mixed during those hectic lockdown months.
Pearce Macca comments…
“It came almost instantaneously. I wrote the chorus in the shed at the back of my garden at about 1am on a Saturday night during lockdown, by 3am the whole song was complete. It was one of those songs where everything clicks perfectly. This particular tune came very naturally, I think because I didn’t have to try and come up with any lyrics for it, I just wrote exactly what I was thinking at the time.”
“Sitting alone on a Saturday night dreaming of escaping back to normal life is the backbone of the song. It’s obviously been a tough year for everyone and in the current climate it’s quite easy to fall into the trap of writing unhappy songs or songs that focus on the bad in the world rather than the good. This song was almost like sticking two fingers up to all the hardships suffered and realising life is a blessing.”
