Shuffle Song Of The Day (9/29/22): “Most Of The Time” By Turnover

“Most Of The Time” is song by the Virginia Beach rock band Turnover, and it appeared on their debut album, Magnolia, which was released in 2013

magnoliaTurnover used to have a lot more of a pop-punk/emo sound (like this song), but in recent years, they’ve developed much more of a dreampop/indie sound that still sounds good, but I imagine has split the fanbase in 2 a little bit. I like both, so doesn’t affect me

Like a lot pop-punk songs, “Most of the Time” features catchy guitar chords and drums, along with melancholic lyrics about youth and feeling lost. In a sense, it’s a very stereotypical pop-punk song, and I wouldn’t want it any other way

Another thing I like about this song is the music video. Seeing as this was their debut album, they weren’t exactly raking in the dough, and further evidence of that can be seen in the low-budget, DIY nature of the music video. Screw fancy cameras, special effects, and a studio. Rather than worry about all of that, they went simple. The music video just follows some guy as he wanders around alone with no real care or a set plan in where he’s going, and seeing as that is exactly what the song is about, it works. Sometimes in art, less is more

Even if pop-punk music isn’t really your thing, I highly suggest checking these guys out. Like I said, their sound has changed a lot through the years, so you’re bound to like something of theirs. My personal favorite would be and their 2nd album, Peripheral Vision, which is INSANELY good

LYRICS
You can find me drifting slowly sinking beneath the seaI try to catch my breath, a silent struggle drowned in my apathyYeah I’m still caught up on all the things I know I’ll never beErase me
You won’t find meBecause I don’t know where I am myself. You see,I’ve been waiting for so long and hoping that I’d seeA sign to point me in the right direction,But where I am the signs have been torn downNo, I won’t be found
I’m feeling fragile, cast aside these walls surrounding,Losing touch with what’s around me. I just don’t feel like myself anymoreI can’t even sleep. Take my dreams they’re yours to keepTake my head and hold me down. I’m in too deep. I can’t get out
Running in circles and falling in holes all the way to where I’m trying to goMost of the time that I think there’s an end, I come to find out that it’s not even close
You can find me drifting slowly sinking beneath the seaI try to catch my breath, a silent struggle drowned in my apathyYeah I’m still caught up on all the things I know I’ll never beErase me
Most of the time I’m invisible.Most of the time I’m between the cracksMost of the time I’m wanderingMost of the time I’m not coming back
Most of the time I’m hopelessly lost.Most of the time I’m between the cracksMost of the time you’ll find me driftingMost of the time I’m never coming back
