Dr. Rocket’s Psychedelic Pop Single “Maybe It’s Time” is a Song About Being Willing to Set Aside One’s Ego to Love Genuinely

Dr. Rocket sounds like a psychedelic version of The Band on “Maybe It’s Time.” Meaning elegant, folk-rooted songwriting and nuanced and detailed musicianship and surprisingly self-aware lyrics. The song appears to be one about someone trying to come to grips with how he undermines his relationships through neglect and not committing out of a strange sort of insecurity. The kind where you think you’re doing enough to cultivate your relationships but maybe it’s all from your own perspective and not so much about the other person’s needs but your ideas of what their needs should be. But if you deal with your own anxieties you can maybe, just maybe, have the psychological space in your mind to being open to changing how you go about things. The gentle melodies and delicate vocals reflect a sincerity in that will to change that feels poignantly sincere. Listen to “Maybe It’s Time” on Spotify and follow Seattle’s Dr. Rocket on Instagram.
