Extra Time’s The Town Where Time Stood Still invites you back to the magic of youth
Extra Time’s latest single, The Town Where Time Stood Still, offers a truly special experience. It draws you in with a wave of memories that feels like flipping through an old photo album, celebrating the magic of childhood and the special moments that shaped who we are. This song captures that bittersweet feeling of revisiting a world that once seemed limitless. It has a dreamy quality, balancing between memories and imagination. It’s about recalling childhood and bringing it back to life, bit by bit, through both music and lyrics.
Extra Time creates a rich yet light sound that allows listeners to feel as though they’re being gently wrapped in the song. The tunes are both comforting and haunting, highlighting how memories can seem close yet out of reach. Every chord and note feels deliberate, like an artist skillfully painting the past in fresh colors. The song goes beyond merely longing for what’s gone, it encourages us to rediscover our childhood. It invites listeners to revisit their own versions of The Town Where Time Stood Still, encouraging us to remember our own streets, playgrounds, and secret spots with the excitement we once felt.
It serves as a reminder that those cherished places never really vanish, they live on in our hearts, waiting to be explored again. With The Town Where Time Stood Still, Extra Time demonstrates that music can transport us to emotions. This song is a trip back in time and an invitation to bring that sense of wonder into our everyday lives. In a fast-paced world, maybe that’s exactly what we need.
Album Review
Paul Terry, Aptøsrs & Cellarscape unite on bold new album “Alternative Piano Club”
Combining his three artistic alter egos, Paul Terry presents an awe-inspiring new 12-track album, “Alternative Piano Club,” written in collaboration with Aptøsrs and Cellarscape. This is an album-length voyage of music that blends acoustic, rock, and piano-driven cinematic sounds.
Torn between this complex emotional spectrum, all the while the piano remains at its core throughout. Paul Terry opens his “Memento Mori (Chromogenic Phase)” contemplatively, creating a solemn, reflective mood. Cellarscape’s “Three Years Of Roses“ is warmer, whereas Aptøsrs’ “Questionnaires“ is much more textured as a large, sculptural post-rock.
“Dave’s Theme,” written by Paul Terry, musically expands the narrative with a touch of cinematic elevation that aligns well. “We Shape The Clouds” by Cellarscape is fluffy and heart-warming, “Writers Behind The Curtain” is somber, more narrative. We are all together in “A Place We Made,” an honest, intimate, emotionally grounded space.
The project contains vocal warmth and cultural depth in the song “This Is My Home“ by Silas Miami & Lana Crowster. Proceeding in a totally different direction is the stronger emotional clarity of Paul Terry’s acoustic storytelling on “Any Time You Want To Fly” and “No Sleep Has Come.” Cellarscape presents a wide, spacious atmospheric moment in “Cygnus,” while Aptøsrs ends with “Rust Mountain (Monochrome Piano Version),” a simple gem that brings the project full circle.
The mixing of Sam Okell and Adam Noble, the mastering of Alex Wharton and Robin Schmidt have, in many ways, brought their polish to it while still making it feel human. “Alternative Piano Club” is a work entity, where three musical personalities met and talk mind in the same emotional language.
