Johnny Marr Finds Defiance in Idealism on New Single ‘It’s Time’
Johnny Marr released a new single, “It’s Time.” The uplifting rock number is the third song to emerge from the Smiths guitarist’s forthcoming LP, The Age of Everything , out Oct. 2 via BMG.
“’It’s Time’ is my way of singing about some worldly issues but finding defiance in idealism,” Marr said in a statement. “I wanted a lyric that matched the exuberance of the music but is actually about resisting cynicism and corruption: ‘Everybody ain’t making it, change the weather and breaking it. Mobilize to know the truth. Open eyes to know the truth.’ I guess it’s about the assholes with dodgy views.”
The music video for “It’s Time” was filmed earlier this year at the biggest headlining show of Marr’s solo career, held at Manchester’s Castlefield Bowl.
