Song a Week Podcast No. 46 - The Time Has Come by Chris Devine

This week's SAW represents a number of firsts for Chris. Inspired by the psuedo-retro sounds of bands like Franz Ferdinand, the song is the first he's ever written about sports ... specifically, soccer. Even more specifically, Sunday's MLS Cup game between the Houston Dynamo and the New England Revolution. Instrumentally, you get some Irish bouzouki, some bass guitar (rare in Chris's songs), some retro keyboards and a decidedly Franz Ferdinand-like drum loop. As another first, the lyrics and vocals were almost entirely improvised, which goes a long way to excusing lines like 'Taylor Twellman, take me home and do what you will'. Ahem. Anyway, Chris favored the Revs in the game, which is, of course, why they lost.
