about

‘Time And Space’ is the second single from Jay Wires.

‘Time And Space’ follows the debut Jay Wires single, ‘Candle In The Night’, and continues a story that began there. Filled with frank honesty, longing and unrequited caring, ‘Time And Space’ was written after an argument between Jay Wires and his ex-girlfriend. “We approached arguments differently,” he reflects. “My solution to arguments was always to talk things out as soon as possible in order to move past them, whereas hers was needing to be alone, taking time and space before coming back.” The song was written during one of those periods of post-argument separation.

In spite of its lyrical themes, ‘Time And Space’ highlights Jay Wires’ knack for creating towering, ascendant intricately-detailed electronic pop tracks, full of personal emotion and reference points. “The argument happened in December 2019,” remembers Jay Wires. “That month, we saw a live jazz band perform songs from the ‘Charlie Brown Christmas Special’ soundtrack in a hotel lounge in Williamsburg. For the instrumental break, I created the sound of brushed cymbals to capture the atmosphere of that performance.” ‘Time And Space’ concludes with a powerful, stirring, uplifting synth-orchestral segment, offering a fragile sense of optimism that this was just a temporary parting, not something more permanent.

‘Time And Space’ is the second song to be taken from the debut Jay Wires EP, ‘Kaboom!’.

-Mat Smith of Further.

lyrics

She needs time and she needs space
To shiver in the sheets
As the snow blows through the streets
And chills her to the bone

She needs time and she needs space
To see things from afar
And to wonder where you are
Cause she squints when you’re too close

All I want is to protect her from the cold
To cover, not to smother
To hold her and to love her
All I want is to protect her from the cold
To cover, not to smother
To hold her and to love her
In the cold

She needs time and she needs space
To make some new mistakes
To feel her lone heart ache
When you don’t pick up the phone

She needs time and she needs space
To relive what it’s like
To cry in bed at night
When you feel so alone

All I want is to protect her from the cold
To cover, not to smother
To hold her and to love her
All I want is to protect her from the cold
To cover, not to smother
To hold her and to love her
In the cold
