About Don't You Think It's Time

"Don't You Think It's Time?" is the first single to be taken from Bob Evans' (aka Kevin Mitchell from Jebediah) second album Suburban Songbook. The single was released 13 May 2006 and reached #22 on the ARIA Singles Chart. It also reached #37 on Triple J's Hottest 100 for 2006. The album was produced by Nashville-based Brad Jones (Josh Rouse, Yo La Tengo, Sheryl Crow, Jill Sobule) at the 'Alex the Great Studios' in Nashville and features Ken Coomer (ex-Wilco) on drums. The single features two extra tracks not available elsewhere - Kevin Mitchell solo and one recorded at his home on a 4 track. Evans wrote the song after a day spent hosting Channel V as Regurgitator recorded their album Mish Mash! as a Band in a Bubble. Evans wrote the music and added lyrics later. He remarked, "It's actually not addressed to anyone specific at all. I wanted to write a peace song or a song about universal love. I was pretty obsessed with John Lennon at the time."The video for the song was directed by Michael Spiccia, and was shot over three days, during which time the camera did not move. The first two days involved painters painting a beautiful mural and the third day was 'Bob' playing his guitar and singing, with a green screen in the background. The two were then merged with Bob in front with the mural being painted behind.

Don't you think its time, 
Time to start anew 
Time for changing views 
Time for making up your mind 

Don't you think its time, 
Time for moving on 
Time for growing strong, 
Time to leave the past behind 

You've been on my mind, 
Oh you've been on my mind
You've been on my mind, 
Oh you've been on my mind

Don't you think its time, 
Time for quell and fear 
Time for a new year 
Time for meaning what you say 

Don't you think its time, 
Time for easing doubt 
Time for reaching out 
Time to open up your eyes 

You've been on my mind, 
Oh you've been on my mind
You've been on my mind, 
Oh you've been on my mind

Don't you think its time, 
Time for trusting more 
Without keeping score 
Time to let forgiveness out 

Don't you think its time, 
Time for showing grace 
Time for having faith 
Time to make more of this time 

You've been on my mind, 
Oh you've been on my mind
You've been on my mind, 
Oh you've been on my mind
