In Their Words: “As the last couple of years unfolded, the ripple effect of this pandemic has hit people in different ways. I wrote this song with that in mind (it also coincided with the second wave of cases). Usually the songs I write have a bridge that leads to a new direction before resolving itself in the end. ‘All in Due Time’ doesn’t have a bridge, but instead segues into this cyclically layered chorus. I wanted the structure of the song to support the feeling in the lyrics and capture this snapshot in time when everything felt like it was in a holding pattern. I really enjoyed the collaborative spirit of recording this with Jeff Eyrich (who produced it and played bass), David Mansfield (violin), Doug Yowell (drums/percussion), Bennett Paster (piano), Steve Rossiter (who recorded my guitar and backup vocals), and Dae Bennett (who recorded my main vocals and mixed it).” – Linda Draper
