about

“Long Time Comin” is an emotionally charged, 80s-imbued anthem. It’s one of a handful of songs from the album that I wrote during a very productive and inspiring trip to Nashville in 2019. We weren’t writing for me specifically, but I realized later just how autobiographical this song was. Spiritually and mentally, I was on the up and up, following my rebound from a long period of depression and doubt. I could recognize that the funk was finally “slippin’ away,” and that “the rock bottom” was now behind me. The synth/guitar solo that Chad threw down on this song is still one of my favorite musical moments on the album, if not ever. You can actually feel your spirit soar with the melody, which is both liberating and heartbreaking. This track almost summarizes the album itself with its hopeful, yet melancholic quality.

lyrics

Wakin’ up, wakin’ up slowly
From a silent wave
Don’t remember where I drifted off
Nothin’ looks the same

I was a lost boy
I was a broken soul
Fadin’ to background noise
Losin’ control
But all I know is changin’
Changin’

And I feel it all slippin’ away
Yeah, I found the rock bottom
And now I’m climbin’
I’m seein’ the light of the day
It’s been a long time comin’
I’m finally feelin’ somethin’ now

I’m not a heartbreak
I’m not a tragedy
Callin’ my mistakes
A form of therapy
And all I was I’m changin’
Changin’

And I feel it all slippin’ away
Yeah, I found the rock bottom
And now I’m climbin’
I’m seein’ the light of the day
The day, the day
Is comin’ around
It’s been a long time comin’
I’m finally feelin’ somethin’
Took a long time comin’ around
And now I’m seein’ the light of the day, yeah
(The day is comin’ around)

It’s been a long time comin’
And I finally feel somethin’ now
It’s been a long time comin’
And I finally feel somethin’ now

And I feel it all slippin’ away
Yeah, I found the rock bottom
And now I’m climbin’
I’m seein’ the light of the day
And I finally feel somethin’ now

And I feel it all slippin’ away
Yeah, I found the rock bottom
And now I’m climbin’
I’m seein’ the light of the day
The day, the day
Is comin’ around
It’s been a long time comin’
I’m finally feelin’ somethin’
Took a long time comin’ around
And now I’m seein’ the light of the day, yeah
(The day is comin’ around)

It’s comin’ around
It’s comin’ around
