Jim James shared this about the song: ““Time Waited” began with a sample of a piano part from pedal-steel player Buddy Emmons’ album, Emmons Guitar Inc. I made a loop of that piano intro and listened as I went for a walk, and all these melodies started coming to me. For a long time, I didn’t have lyrics, but then I had a dream where I was in a café and a song was playing, and the lyrics to that song became the lyrics to ‘Time Waited’ the melodies just fit perfectly. And the lyrics are about how flexible time is, how we can bend and warp time, especially if we are following our hearts, the universe and time itself can flow to work with us.”

The video for the song was directed by Daniel Clinch.

Regarding the album title James shared this: “I like how the word ‘is’ indicates a sense of presence in the now there’s no logic or rationale behind this record; it just is. All these songs came into existence out of an attempt to connect with something beyond the human experiment, which for me is one of the most beautiful things about music that connection with something larger than us, yet something we are all equally a part of.”
