Here we go again: talking about These Electric Lives. Before this past Saturday’s show, the band went over to WBER (The only station that matters) for an interview. While the interview ended up being a bit long for a band that, to this point, has only two EPs to their name, it was still interesting to hear Mark and Gary banter with the DJ about their songwriting process, whether they preferred Ginger or Mary Ann, and how their remixes come about.
And then, about halfway through the interview, the two of them played a previously unreleased song for the masses. “When the Time Is Right” was written for Mark’s fiancé (if I remember correctly) a couple of Christmases ago, although I’ve heard it a few times since I’ve seen the band play four times this year alone. And while that night in concert it came off as much larger and anthemic, with a nice crowd sing-along at the end, it’s great in a more intimate setting as well. It sounds a lot more longing in this version, especially knowing how affable and engaging Mark is as their lead singer.
If you’re around Toronto tomorrow, go and check them out at the legendary Horseshoe Tavern. You won’t be sorry.
