Rob (aka Rez) composes and records using mainly Reason, Pro Tools, and Ableton. He had an early start in production after building a studio in his basement to record his highchool bands. Rob has studied classical and jazz piano, rock and jazz guitar, and jazz drums and has been in many bands (genres spanning ska, metal, pop punk, jazz, funk, and alternative), playing both guitar and drums. Rob spent a few years in college DJing at different Boston bars while double majoring in Music and Philosophy at Tufts University. Rob has many influences, but in regards to his Timeflies production, he cites Pretty Lights, Dr. Luke, Xaphoon Jones, and JR Rotem. Rob is a serious Green Lantern fan, and knows a good sandwich.
Cal is a singer/rapper and songwriter from the New York City area. He’s been singing and freestyling since he was young and remembers doing freestyles at the dinner table. He graduated Tufts University majoring in Music and Entrepreneurship. Upon joining the band The Ride in his sophomore year at Tufts, Cal fell in love with the performance side of music. This blues, funk, and hip- hop band was noted for their unique style, given their ability to transcend musical genres. Cal later teamed up with The Ride’s drummer, Rob, to form Timeflies. Cal’s musical influences include Robert Johnson, Janis Joplin, Muddy Waters, and his favorite, Big L. Cal’s biggest strength and weakness, is his love for scotch.

Timeflies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You spend the money but it never sees how you spend the time
Are you even sure, could you even make up your mind
Look here for all the answers you should probably get in line
But not so fast
Just slow down (just slow down)
Maybe you should look around
'Cause we get so high that we just fall, fall
Don't need sleep tonight to dream this song
Soak 'em up (soak 'em up)
Kiss you now (kiss me now)
What you are (what you are)
Here we go (here we go)
'Cause we get so high that we just fall, fall
Come and find me now, cause I'm where you wanna be
Don't need no clock to know it's time for you to come rock with me
Open up your eyes, no telling what you'll see
How it's time for you to stop, just breathe
Told you not so fast
Just slow down
Maybe you should look around
Just get lost turn up the sound (turn up the sound)
'Cause we get so high that we just fall, fall
Don't need sleep tonight to dream this song
Soak 'em up (soak 'em up)
Kiss you now (kiss me now)
What you are (what you are)
Here we go (here we go)
'Cause we get so high that we just fall, fall
On the way up we going to all fall
On the elevator don't you calls for
You got to bounce back, you got to brush it off
If you stay down then it's ya'll fault
I'mma ball hard till my balls fall
When god says my years are done
I know the top is where I'm going
Even though the bottom is where I'm from
I get so high, cheap seats
Pillows at OG we fall in deep sleep
That double R like roadrunner
All you hear is beep beep
I fall through like wintertime and you fall alone
'Cause we get so high that we just fall, fall
Don't need sleep tonight to dream this song
Soak 'em up (soak 'em up)
Kiss you now (kiss me now)
What you are (what you are)
Here we go (here we go)
'Cause we get so high that we just fall, fall
But not so fast
Just slow down
In "Fall," Timeflies creates a compelling work of art that encourages listeners to take a step back in their lives, slow down, and take in their surroundings. This is captured in the opening lines: "What you looking for, feeling like you'll never find/You spend the money but it never sees how you spend the time/Are you even sure, could you even make up your mind/Look here for all the answers you should probably get in line." The lyrics suggest that people may be so busy looking for answers outside themselves that they have lost sight of what they really desire. People may be searching so desperately for affirmation that they overlook the things that will truly make them feel fulfilled. The chorus of the song states, "Cause we get so high that we just fall, fall/Don't need sleep tonight to dream this song/Soak 'em up/Kiss you now/What you are/Here we go/Cause we get so high that we just fall, fall," which indicates that if we let go of our preconceptions and allow ourselves to appreciate what is vital in our lives, we will be able to find true happiness.
The following lines emphasize this point: "Come and find me now, cause I'm where you wanna be/Don't need no clock to know it's time for you to come rock with me/Open up your eyes, no telling what you'll see/How it's time for you to stop, just breathe." These lines urge the listener to open their eyes to the possibilities that are right in front of them, rather than focusing solely on what they believe they need to be happy. Instead of obsessing over wanting more resources or accolades, people should take pleasure in the current moment and appreciate the beauty in their everyday existence. The final verse—"On the way up we going to all fall/On the elevator don't you calls for/You got to bounce back, you got to brush it off/If you stay down then it's ya'll fault"—reminds us that failure is a part of life, and that we must continually pick ourselves back up if we want to succeed. The song is an inspiring call to arms for anyone feeling lost or unsure of themselves, reminding that happiness is not a goal we can conquer, but rather a journey we need to embark on and appreciate.

You got to bounce back, you got to brush it off
When things go wrong, you have to pick yourself up and keep going
If you stay down then it's ya'll fault
If you give up, it's your fault and no one else's
I'mma ball hard till my balls fall
I will keep pushing myself until I can't give anymore
When god says my years are done
When my time on this earth is over and I pass away
I know the top is where I'm going
I'm determined to reach the top
Even though the bottom is where I'm from
Despite my humble beginnings, I still aim for the top
I get so high, cheap seats
I become so consumed with the moment that I don't care where I am
Pillows at OG we fall in deep sleep
We can finally relax and let go of our worries
That double R like roadrunner
I'm speeding through life like a roadrunner
All you hear is beep beep
All that can be heard is speed and momentum
I fall through like wintertime and you fall alone
I'm making progress while others are left behind
