acing Time: The Afro Nick’s Electrifying Call to Action in “Get There Before Noon”
2 min readPeople cannot live in this World without hurrying to do something, and that is the main point in the track called “Get There Before Noon (LA Mix) “. The Afro Nick blends indie, psychedelia, alternative as well as rock and delivers an astonishing beat. This song instils an urge to move, act, rush, and live your life to the fullest before time passes by. At the same time, It feels as if you are with Nick, rushing through the streets to get the maximum out of it. Nick Anastasakis, the genius behind The Afro Nick, has always viewed music as an expression of freedom. He grew up in Crete and was influenced by street musicians playing the guitar for a living which was a stark contrast to him. He has mentioned how that early influence made his music honest, passionate and personal.
This single was Nick’s home studio recording in LA and is a refined version of previous research. It includes Grammy award-winning synth player Leo Genovese, who transforms his electronic pieces into whole symphonies infused with Nick’s riffs. The transitions make it a song that one can feel the reminiscence of the past combined with the novelty of today. The message of “Get There Before Noon’ captures the essence of self-identity and action. The phrases ‘On one day, you’re gonna miss that day’ and ‘I have to live this life, not yesterday’ highlight the necessity of being in the moment. In Nick’s words, the track is inspired by real-life events after he woke up feeling sick from drinking a lot but needing to go to a recording session. This is something everyone can relate to because we have all had to pull through to the end of some crucial task.
The track combines grunge with a certain level of psychedelia. Nick’s voice has a rough yet emotional texture that accentuates the pain behind every single word he speaks. The concluding phrase, ‘And all you have to do is get there before noon’, has the kind of impact that is commonly expected of last-minute reminders. This is more than just a song; it is a cycle of having zero tolerance towards comfortable procrastination. Whether you are a longtime follower or just hearing The Afro Nick for the first time, “Get There Before Noon” will resonate with you on a cerebral, emotional, and kinetic level. Nick’s new single is out on all streaming services and waiting too long is simply not an option.
