The Afro Nick’s “Get There Before Noon (LA Mix)” is an infectious anthem that mixes indie rock, psychedelia, and alternative sounds into a track that not only catches your attention but stays with you long after the music stops. Written by Nick Anastasakis, the song carries a raw energy that taps into the human desire to live fully and seize the moment—before it’s too late. The story behind the song is deeply personal. Nick explains that the idea for “Get There Before Noon” came to him after a long night out in New York City. Despite the hangover, he had to make it to a recording session before noon, and that frantic rush translated into a powerful message about living life with urgency. “You gotta do what you have to do and do it as soon as possible”, says Nick, and these words shine through in the track’s dynamic production and passionate delivery.
The song’s catchy guitar riffs are bold and energetic, setting the stage for Nick’s deep, raspy voice, which brings a sense of honesty to the track. The layers of synth, crafted by Grammy-winning musician Leonardo Genovese, add depth and texture to the composition. The music itself reflects the same message as the lyrics: life is fleeting, and we must take action now. Lyrically, “Get There Before Noon” challenges listeners to stop procrastinating and to embrace life without looking back. The chorus, with lines like “And on one day, you gonna miss that day,” speaks to the inevitability of time passing, while urging us to live in the present, not yesterday. The song captures the essence of living on your own terms, reminding us that we don’t have time to waste.
