Sensational rock and power ballad energy emerges from the nostalgic soundscape of a soulful electric guitar lead and the live crash of drums – Robert Tepper backs up an impressive and vastly streamed repertoire, with the emotionally loaded Time Just This Time.
Beginning with the drama and evocative intensity of the rock setup, the music soon falls away – leaving space for an intimate and impassioned vocal, delivering lyrics both poetic and personal in their desperate search for connection.
Soon the music builds back up, alongside the rising energy of the voice, a distinct and immersive evolution, and the meeting between the new hook melody and the sudden fullness of the guitar, bass and drums arrangement is intoxicating.
Beautifully captured and with fascinating lyrics of purpose and intrigue at the forefront, Time Just This Time connects for its humanity and intimacy all at once. It’s a song of memories of love and of being cared for, in light of the changes that inevitably hit us throughout life. It’s clearly an individual journey, but it’s presented in such a relatable and accessible way, that this quickly becomes a boldly engaging power ballad – one that naturally cries out on behalf of any and all listeners going through similar contemplations and concerns.
A stunning example of the songwriting and musicianship, the vocal prowess, that Robert Tepper effortlessly presents – Time Just This Time is a catchy yet unconfined and timeless hit, a reverb-kissed ode to a simpler era in music, but a powerful and cinematic gem in its own right. Beautifully done.
