Highet’s "Time Is What I’m Wasting" Finds Calm Inside Uncertainty

Highet’s new single “Time Is What I’m Wasting” feels like a quiet breath in the middle of a noisy day. The band, a father and son duo from Vancouver, keeps things simple here. The song moves at an easy pace, and the relaxed tone makes the message hit even harder. It is about waiting for the right person and trying to stay patient while life keeps moving around you.

The track opens with soft guitar layers that build gently without taking over. They create a steady rhythm that pulls you in without asking for attention. The vocals stay calm and steady, carrying a small mix of hope and doubt at the same time. Nothing in the song tries to push too hard. It lets the feeling grow on its own.

The trance-like groove is the heart of the track. It gives the song a smooth, drifting motion, almost like someone lost in their thoughts while staring out a window. The guitars harmonize with each other in a warm way, giving the song depth without making it feel crowded. It has the kind of tone that works whether you are listening closely or letting it play while you unwind. “Time Is What I’m Wasting” stands out from Highet’s last release, Your Eyes Don’t See, which carried much more energy. This new single shows another side of the duo. It shows that their writing can shift moods without losing their identity. Their sound is shaped by the music they grew up with, from the clean guitar work of Dire Straits to the dreamy textures of bands like The Church and Crowded House. You can hear those influences, but the song still feels like its own thing.

The story of the band adds another layer. Highet takes its name from a creek in the Yukon where their ancestors spent decades searching for gold. That sense of patience and long effort naturally fits the theme of the song. The duo writes and produces their music together, then records with local session musicians in Vancouver. Their process feels hands-on and personal, and you can hear that in the final result.

The single is already available on all major streaming platforms, and the group has plans to keep the momentum going. They have more music on the way, including a new release scheduled for the winter. Alongside that, they are putting real effort into reaching listeners through focused marketing and digital promotion.

“Time Is What I’m Wasting” works because it doesn’t force the moment. It lets the mood settle. It understands what waiting feels like, and it gives that feeling a quiet place to sit. It’s the kind of song that stays with you without asking for anything in return.
