Most artists cut their eye teeth on love songs, but Timi Temple’s latest single “Quick Words, Long Trouble” is his first foray into this musical staple. Of course, in true Timi Temple style, it’s no sappy ode to romance. Instead it’s an eclectic track with psychedelic and Brit-Rock influences. Switch it on and strap yourself in for a ride that’s every bit as wild as falling in love!
“I’ve generally tried to avoid writing songs about love because I think it’s been rinsed enough times by other artists. However, this song was cathartic and therapeutic to me as it helped me through a long-term breakup,” Timi explained. “The phrase is something that my mother used to tell me, somewhat translated from Thai meaning ‘don’t do anything in heated anger because the repercussions will last forever.’ It’s served me well, but also probably lead to me not fighting for a salvageable relationship because I was too cautious with my words. The spoken word poem in the bridge of this song reflects this.”
Timi will play a string of dates around his home state and one special Queensland show supporting the single, starting tomorrow. Catch him at all the following venues in the coming weeks.
