Tanzanian act Mr. Nobody Tz slows the clock down on a reflective new record titled “Time Flies.” The English title is a familiar saying, so the song probably looks back at how fast the years move.
Bongo Flava artists often mix Swahili and English, and a plain title like this helps the song travel beyond East Africa. Time songs also work well in any language, since everyone has watched a year vanish. That gives the record a wide door.
The beat likely moves at a mellow pace, with soft drums and a warm, rolling bass. No guest is listed, so the memory belongs to him alone. The lyrics most likely talk about lost chances, growing up and making the most of what’s left. A repeated title in the hook gives the idea an easy anchor.
