listen to time will fly: [ Ссылка ]

i can’t believe this song is out! 'time will fly’ came out of me back in November 2021 when i was in LA. i had just had the most insane week, meeting, working, collaborating with some of my all time favourite artists/producers/writers and i just felt so proud of myself. the song was originally named 939 palm avenue after the address of where my manager and i were staying and it always meant so much to me, but it always felt like it wasn’t ‘sam tompkins’ enough. flash forward to the tour announcement a month or so ago (go grab a ticket if you haven’t already lol) and i felt i wanted to do something cool and different for it. i chose to remake this song and change a few lyrics. i made a really great video with the help of some insanely talented people on my team and then you guys BLEW THIS SONG UP. I mean, it’s crazy? Chris Brown reached out, Russ reached out, Logic reached out, G Eazy, Raye, the list literally goes on and on. i then decided to rewrite parts of the original 939 version and press record and, well… this is what i came up with. i hope you love it!x

lyrics:
you’re gonna meet some new friends
but one’ll die
then you’re gonna be depressed
and that’s fine
you may even find love
a few times
then you’re gonna break up
but that’s life
you’re out weekly
now you’re only sixteen
on ship street
working on a big dream
to make an ep
and throw it on a CD
then radio
on repeat

you were right
you did everything that you said you would do
so don’t try
to give it up that’s what they want you to do

time will fly
run away from you
and it’s alright
it’s what you’re made to do
you will cry
but that’s what’s taken you
to one whole night
where you don’t have pain in you

you’re gonna meet your hero
you know the guy
yeah, you’re gonna go far
that high
people will sell you dreams enough times
but you’ll read the tc’s and dotted lines

you know why
you’re playing those strings in the morning til the
late night
putting in work cos it’s all you knew

time will fly
run away from you
and it’s alright
it’s what you’re made to do
you will cry
but that’s what’s taken you
to one whole night
where you don’t have pain in you

(talking)

I think it’s a shame that you can’t talk to your younger self cause a lot of the time when i was younger i needed someone exactly like me to show up and be there when i needed them… but, i’m there for them now.

(time will fly)
time will fly
(run away from you)
run away from you
(and it’s alright)
it’s alright
(it’s what you’re made to do)
it’s what you’re made to do
(you will cry)
you will cry now
(but that’s what’s taken you)
that’s what’s taken you to
one whole night
where you don’t have pain in you
