Tapping into a deep well of introspective resonance, Australia’s indie folk prodigy Harrison Storm draws listeners into a vivid tableau of recollection with his latest single, In Good Time. Oscillating between sepia-toned daydreams and raw reality, the track captures an unflinching self-examination, a moment of coming to terms with the past, and a brave leap into the vast unknown of the future.
In Good Time is an aural photograph that represents an exploration of Storm’s inner sanctum. Caught in a moment of creative uncertainty during a writing retreat, Storm found inspiration by reaching back into his own musical history. Reminiscing on the old demo, “Sense Of Home”, the songwriter found himself caught in a wave of emotion and self-realisation. The result is a song that works as a reply to his past self, a candid conversation that spans the years.
Storm’s lyricism shines in its authenticity and vulnerability. His verses weave a narrative tapestry, touching on the inevitable march of time, the maturation of relationships, the evolution of self, and the unfolding understanding of what home truly means. Lines like “My father’s getting older/ And my friends are moving on” and “A lot of things I’ve wanted have/ Slowly come around” speak to universally relatable themes, effortlessly encapsulating the human experience.
At its core, In Good Time encapsulates a bittersweet acknowledgement of change, an acceptance of the impermanence of life, and an affirmation of the endurance of the self. The chorus, “You were there/ So I was fine/ Everything did make sense in good time,” underscores the message with a comforting reassurance, reminding us that though time moves forward, our past experiences continue to shape our present and future.
Storm’s soundscape complements his poetic lyrics, creating an immersive audio journey. His soulful vocals resonate with genuine emotion, and the acoustic instrumentation provides a raw, organic backdrop that enhances the sense of nostalgia permeating the track.
With In Good Time, Harrison Storm reveals the growth of an artist, not only in his songwriting but in his approach to life itself.
