Mat Creedon’s “The Time Has Come” references “Space Oddity” in the first section of the song with a nod to Pink Floyd’s “Set the Controls” for the Heart of the Sun” in the next section as part of the chorus. And the synth pop song has a bit of a now retro-futurist feel with pulsing, distorted synth lines and vocals processed to sound like they’re coming from the kind of A.I. that might be running an interstellar spaceship except for that bit about voices in its head and other refinements that one would most expect from an organic being. This space ship metaphor also serves as a message about getting on with the momentous events of one’s life rather than put them off and getting swept in the forward motion of your personal destiny. Listen to the song on Soundcloud and follow Creedon on Spotify.
