Whistle blows
I know you’re getting tired
I feel the same
Always the end
Nights in your arms
Call for your voice
I can’t seem to
Hold this wound
Keep a note
I know you’ve read
Nights in your arms
Call for your voice
I can’t seem to
Hold it in
Spinning out
I can’t seem to spell it out for you
Knuckles white, my eyes red
Feel it wearing down
Can’t take it back
When it’s gone, it’s gone
Force it down
Again
Nothing real
Thinking loud
Figure it out
Spinning round and round
Won’t get it back
When I’m gone, I’m gone
Shut it out
Again
Lights on, no one’s home
I don’t know if I’ll be there soon
I think it’s all wrong
I think it’s all gone
Waste my days
Slip away
Just enough
To save my name
Stay home and lock the door
Got it all wrong
Lost the key
Now I’m long gone
about
For many years, the music from Florida has been known across America, thanks to the thriving hardcore scene throughout the state, plenty of bands and projects, and previous & contemporary labels like IOU Records, From Within Records + more who have supported and given the bands a platform. Leaving Time is a current band whose name seems to be a gem to locals and to others who have discovered their 2021 self-titled EP released on Tiger Records, a local record store in Jacksonville.
Formed in 2020 while members Joel Cedeno, Nick Dilts, Jarod Whalen, and Reed Cothren previously & simultaneously played in bands True Form, Method of Doubt, and more—Leaving Time sonically stands out from the aforementioned. Taking inspiration from the notable '90s alternative-rock and shoegaze sound, Leaving Time adds much of their own to the sound. Subtle nuances like the whirling guitar leads and hardcore-inspired drums give each song a driving punch, taking the singular "shoegaze" descriptor out of the picture. On EP II, the band again connected with Gainesville producer, John Howard to write some of their best songs to date. Pushing the sound heard on their S/T, EP II finds the band coming to form.

This ep is pretty much a classic in my eyes; Very much worth your time. Everything song here flows effortlessly into the next and spins you around daylen-
"Flower Of Life" yanks riot grrrl south through the unmistakable garage psych sound indispensable to the last 20-odd years of rock music out of Los Angeles. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 2, 2023
