Produced by three-times GRAMMY® Award-winner Brendan O’Brien (Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam), is – marks My Morning Jacket’s first full-length new collection in more than three years.
The first single to be released from the album is ‘Time Waited,’ available everywhere now. An official music video directed by Danny Clinch, featuring new performance footage interspersed with archival photos from throughout the band’s history, is streaming now on YouTube and may be seen below. A love song for the ages, imbued with equal parts wide-eyed romanticism and wistful recognition of love’s intrinsic fragility, the song emerged from a sample of a spellbinding piano part lifted from pedal-steel virtuoso Buddy Emmons’ lost classic album, Emmons Guitar Inc.
‘I made a loop of that piano intro and listened as I went for a walk, and all these melodies started coming to me,” explains My Morning Jacket vocalist/guitarist Jim James. “For a long time, I didn’t have lyrics, but then I had a dream where I was in a café and a song was playing, and the lyrics to that song became the lyrics to ‘Time Waited’ – the melodies just fit perfectly. And the lyrics are about how flexible time is, how we can bend and warp time, especially if we are following our hearts, the universe and time itself can flow to work with us.‘
