Current Swell Releases "If You Want My Time" A Reflective New Single on Love’s Complexities

Victoria, BC-based indie rock band Current Swell returns with their highly anticipated single, “If You Want My Time.” A compelling track that masterfully explores the balance between love’s profound emotional connection and the everyday challenges that come with it, the song brings both warmth and depth in equal measure. With a rich tapestry of melodies, catchy hooks, and a nostalgic yet fresh vibe, “If You Want My Time” takes listeners on a journey of commitment, care, and the beauty of accepting each other’s imperfections within a relationship.

Recorded at Boiler Room Studios in Toronto, the new track was produced by JUNO-nominated Gus Van Go. His expert touch helps elevate the song’s candid emotion, pairing it seamlessly with an infectious, high-energy sound. The result is a dynamic fusion of rock, roots-rock, and indie-rock influences, all woven together in a way that captures Current Swell’s signature feel-good energy while delving into more introspective subject matter.

The origins of the track go back over 15 years, when frontman Scott Stanton first found himself haunted by a chorus that wouldn’t leave his mind. What began as a simple, catchy refrain would soon evolve into something much more substantial. As Stanton revisited the lyrics, he was struck by the clarity of the message emerging from them: “You do all this, but it’s all good.” A reflection of the ebbs and flows of love and commitment, the chorus became the foundation of a song about patience, understanding, and the acknowledgment that no relationship is without its challenges.

As Stanton elaborates, “‘If You Want My Time’ is about celebrating the things we do for each other, recognizing that love isn’t always about grand gestures—it’s the small, everyday acts of care that mean the most. It’s an anthem of sorts for those who understand that life is messy, relationships are imperfect, and that’s okay.” The track's infectious melody serves as the perfect vehicle for this heartfelt message, blending a sense of nostalgia with an upbeat and contemporary feel.
