After gaining acclaim with their previous release, Awake, and sharing the stage with renowned acts like Midwave Breaks and The Machine Wreckers, Say Or Do is back with their latest musical creation, Wasting My Time. This new single, engineered and mastered by the talented Matt Brooks from Like A Storm, marks a return to the artist's musical roots, drawing inspiration from their earlier days in hard rock bands like Silence The City and Broken Avenue, while incorporating fresh elements that pay homage to the genre.

Wasting My Time takes listeners on a captivating journey, starting with heavily EQ-d, low-fi guitars that set a nostalgic tone, reminiscent of Incubus' iconic Make Yourself. This deliberate choice, expertly engineered by Matt Brooks, creates ample space for the mesmerizing vocal melody and grooving drums, which enter shortly after. As the song progresses, it builds in intensity, reaching its climax in the second chorus. Layered guitars become rich and dense, while the post-chorus bridge introduces a unique fusion of styles, combining elements of A Day To Remember and John Mayer.

The sonic exploration culminates in a delicate breakdown before the final chorus, providing a moment of reflection and introspection. The track then returns to its infectious hook, delivering a satisfying conclusion that leaves listeners craving more.

Lyrically, Wasting My Time delves into the uncertainties that surround the chosen paths in life and their inherent significance. The song beautifully captures the dichotomy between moments of stagnation and periods of momentum, where life's waves carry us forward effortlessly. It explores the intricate relationships where another person can become both an anchor and a hindrance, intertwining their identity with ours. Furthermore, it reflects on the times when our own minds become obstacles, overanalyzing our current state and potential outcomes, leading to a state of paralysis.

Say Or Do reminds us that such complexities are an integral part of the human experience. Embracing the realization that we have control over our responses and the ability to shape our own path can be incredibly liberating, even as we acknowledge the ultimate destination that awaits us all.

In a world where time is limited, Wasting My Time serves as a poignant reminder to pause and appreciate the marvel of our existence, regardless of the chosen path we tread.

Wasting My Time by Say Or Do, is set to be released on July 7, 2023, and will be available on all major streaming platforms.
