“Far Too Long” draws inspiration from a personal realization Zaddy had while balancing his demanding day job and music schedule, working 80+ hours a week between the two. Little did he know he was reaching a breaking point. After a conversation with his brother, who asked about his week, Zaddy realized he had lost a week of his life to burnout. This moment of self-awareness led to the track’s creation. Zaddy worked with JUNO-nominated/Emmy Award-winning producer Ross Hayes Citrullo to bring it to life with a live off the floor recording approach.
I’ve always believed that music has the power to connect us. This song speaks to my own struggles with balance – between work, music, family, and friends. I think we’ve all been there at some point, and sometimes it takes hitting a wall to realize we need to make a change.– Matt Zaddy
Zaddy’s lyrics are deeply autobiographical and tackle themes of life, love, hardship, and redemption. His songs aim to create a connection with listeners, reminding them that they are not alone in their struggles. “Far Too Long” is a hopeful reflection on the need to slow down and appreciate the moments we often take for granted.
