Fusing a breezy, comforting melody with harmonious vocals, the track shines through its homey rhythms, delighting the indie-rock and folk influences with an innate gentleness. “Most Of The Time” features the sweetness and care of a conversation between friends on a hazy summer afternoon, heartfelt advice, and intimate sharing. Tuohy speaks on the bittersweet loneliness emerging from misunderstandings and allows himself to go with the flow, embracing it as part of life experiences.
Rather than trying to construct and maintain a picture-perfect life and adapting our emotions accordingly, “Most Of The Time” reminds us that living in a state of constriction and anxiety cannot serve us in the long run. The track is an anthem for embracing life as it is with its constantly erratic, shifting, complex states, and knowing that we are not alone in these contrasting feelings and struggles. “It’s a song for anyone that feels this way and to emphasize that you’re not alone; it’s all part of the human experience; we don’t always have to have everything figured out all the time,” comments Tuohy.
