Jake Vera Examines the Fragility of Life In His Poignant New Single “Time"

Dallas, TX-based alt-rock artist Jake Vera pens an emotional, horn-filled anthem in his newest release, “Time”, that wrestles head-on with human mortality. Set atop explosive production and cinematic depth, this song is a visceral, authentic account of grappling with our limits in existence and searching for purpose within it.

“Time” kicks off with a haunting urgency that immediately grabs the listener and situates it within a contemporary rock-fusion sound that evokes the early 2000s alternative rock era. Jake's vocals are powerful and yearning, bringing to mind bands like Breaking Benjamin or Thirty Seconds to Mars, while still being distinctly Jake Vera.  The repeated lyric “Turn back time / So I can find, the essence of my life,” is a powerful hook that is sure to be played from the car stereo long after it's finished. 

“Time” was produced by Reactance and mixed/mastered by the legendary Sefi Carmel (producer with David Bowie), and the production mirrors the feelings of the message, using gnarly guitars, cinematic textures, and pounding drums which echo the messy emotionality of what we confront.

"Time" is not just a song; it's a moment. A moment that feels personal, but universal. Vera confirms that he’s more than an emerging artist; he’s a voice for a generation that's trying to make sense of fleeting moments and tenuous futures.
