Social Gravy – These Are The Times

In their latest single ‘These Are The Times’, Social Gravy step away from the blistering edge of their previous release ‘Lone Wolf’ to embrace something more tender and timeless. A bright, melodic pop-rock gem, the track blends nostalgia with emotional immediacy, driven by heartfelt lyrics and clean, infectious guitar work. “I’ve dreamt for a lifetime or two / Every second alive / These are the times”. It’s a line that sticks with you, because it feels like something we’ve all said in moments we didn’t want to end.

What strikes me most is how effortlessly Social Gravy balances sentiment with sonic clarity. This track doesn’t try to be complex, but it lands with emotional weight. Inspired by a real-life moment in Santa Monica, it’s a song about pausing to recognize the beauty of now. Social Gravy are proving themselves masters of romantic rock’n’roll.
