When Beach For Tiger released “A Matter Of Time,” it was more than just any breakup song. It’s a slow-burning, soulful psych confession, laying it all out there with the scars, the anger, and satisfaction in knowing someone is playing with fire. They’ve borrowed the well-trodden tale of a devious ex and turned it into an emotional quest that rarely releases its grip.
There’s tension in the air from the first chord with guitar and bassline that pulses under the skin, soft drips of reverb that make each note feel like it’s echoing through memory. The vocals? It was rich, exhausted, and full of that sharp, grown-up edge. When the lyrics flay and scold, you believe every word. Here is someone who also has lain awake at 3 a.m. thinking, You deserve this.
What makes “A Matter Of Time” special is the manner in which Beach For Tiger stages this confrontation. Not so much one of vengeance, but more one of karmic inevitability. The manipulator here isn’t defeated with fireworks, but out. You can hear it each time the chorus comes back, every stacked harmony that emerged in the chambery blur wields not just musical pressure but also moral ballast. And yet, for all the bite in the song, it isn’t sour. This is the beauty in pain, warm vintage psych textures, soulful chord changes, and just a hint of melancholy. It does not shout its lesson, it lets you live it.
In “A Matter Of Time,” Beach For Tiger provides an all-too-uncommon emotional cherry, the catharsis of finally giving someone the what for that they’ve had coming, wrapped in eerie melody. It’s a song you’ll want to play over and over if only to taste the justice in every note.
