One-man band Dad With Kids (aka Yvan) is back with a relatable anthem for anyone feeling like they’re constantly chasing the clock. “In A Hurry” is a track brimming with raw honesty, capturing the universal experience of time slipping through our fingers.
Dad With Kids pulls inspiration from his own life experiences, weaving a lyrical mixture that resonates with anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed by the relentless march of time. The song was even partially recorded in his garden while his young son napped – a perfect metaphor for the fleeting moments of parenthood.
While Dad With Kids may be a solo operation, his music is anything but lonely. He cites The Beatles, Vulfpeck, and Shakey Graves as key influences, channelling their diverse sounds into a genre-bending blend. Think catchy melodies in the vein of Paul McCartney, mixed with the quirky grooves of Vulfpeck and the folksy grit of Shakey Graves.
Don’t let the one-man-band label fool you. “In A Hurry” is an attestation to Yvan’s musical prowess. He lays down all the instrumentation himself – guitar, bass, drums, keys, synths – and delivers the vocals with an endearing sincerity. The song may be homegrown, but it resonates with a universal truth.
“In A Hurry” is a must-listen for anyone who feels like they’re constantly on the go. It’s a reminder to slow down, appreciate the present moment, and cherish the fleeting moments we have with loved ones. So put down your phone, take a deep breath, and let Dad With Kids remind you that it’s okay to hit the brakes sometimes.
