Linebeck sure makes disappointment, disillusionment and a jaded attitude toward someone who doesn’t measure up sound so romantic on its single “Waste My Time.” Its slowly scintillating melody and emotionally expansive vocals speak to someone who lacks substance and has all these promises and empty gestures that are all surface and intended to be charming but obviously don’t measure up when it comes offering substance and not the shade of romantic love. It captures the kind of relationship or relationship to be in which one person is all overtures to seem exciting but at the end of the day that person wastes your time because you’re just another notch on the belt of their ego fulfillment and they move on once they feel like they’ve drawn you into their sphere but with no intention of even having the veneer of commitment because that would require actually having a connection with someone even if it’s not forever. And in the song we hear how forever isn’t necessarily wanted or needed but definitely not with someone whose affections are fleeting and shallow. That the song has an upbeat energy in exhilarating dream pop colors gives the song a depth that is more than the object of the song deserves. Fans of Blushing and Letting Up Despite Great Faults will appreciate the moods here. Watch the video for “Waste My Time” on YouTube and follow Linebeck at the links provided.
