about
Having a knack for unbottling emotions, stirring laughter and joy while also drawing tears, Joan & The Giants continue to shine with their care-free indie-rock with 'Born In The Wrong Time'. Twirling in a hazy kaleidoscopic summer of love, 'Born In The Wrong Time' is upbeat and vibrant as it romanticises a bygone era of simpler times. Instilling an air of old school rock n' roll with chugging palm-muted guitar and full-band rock hits, the track is punchy, triumphant and an absolute ear-worm.
Dreaming of living in a different era, 'Born In The Wrong Time' is about not fitting in and wanting to escape to the past where things seemed easier and ideologies were more aligned. Grace Newton-Wordsworth states:
"Raw in its bones, ‘Born In The Wrong Time’ is a song about tapping out from the modern world and yearning for a time when things were a bit more simple. Lyrically, I wrote this song about feeling like an outsider throughout every stage of my life. From being misunderstood throughout childhood, to never quite feeling part of whatever adulthood is - everything has always felt a little disconnected, like I’m an old soul trapped in this body."
lyrics
When I was a kid
I was never good at
Jokes or fitting in
Dreaming of a place
Where I don’t live
Listening to the music
of a different time
Wishing it was mine
Maybe I’m just too sensitive
Maybe I’m just
Born in the wrong time
Nothing ever feels right
I could never walk the line
Living on the outside
Dreamer in the day light
Singing all the wrong lines
Maybe in another life
I could be the winning kind
Born in the right time
I can’t exist
When I’m staring at a screen
Tryna reminisce
On the moments
I was never fully in
Dreaming of a time where
I can throw my phone aside
Listen to Joni, getting high
Maybe I’m just too sensitive
Maybe I’m just
Born in the wrong time
Nothing ever feels right
I could never walk the line
Livin on the outside
Dreamer in the day light
Singing all the wrong lines
Maybe in another life
I could be the winning kind
Born in the right time
Oh oh oh oh
Maybe I’m just an old soul
Oh oh oh oh
Maybe I just don’t belong
Oh oh oh oh
Maybe I’m just an old soul
Oh oh oh oh
Maybe I’m
Born in the wrong time
Nothing ever feels right
I could never walk the line
Livin on the outside
Dreamer in the day light
Singing all the wrong lines
Maybe in another life
I could be the winning kind
Born in the right time
