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.
Start It Up Again
Timeflies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm tryna get weird tonight
It's like, preach
That's why we're here tonight
Get turned up
Let's go now
We showed up
To throw down
At least
We could get a few beers tonight
Let's toast
Everybody gonna raise it up
Get close
That's the reason we're stayin' up
So roll up get faded
And you know we'll make it the most
Lemme show you how to change it up like
All you need
Is to know that if you follow me
When you start thinkin' that the night would end
Then we could go and start it up again
We could start it up again
When you think this night is over
It's feeling like the end
When the daylight's getting closer
We could start it up again
We don't need to find a reason
We don't need to play pretend
We could take what we believe in
And we could start it up again
Okay
Now this the shit that I'm talkin' about
It's Late
But ain't no way that we clockin' out
It's time to let go now
We won't ever slow down
Just stay
We're goin' in 'til they lock us out
And all you need
Is to know that if you follow me
When you start thinkin' that the night would end
Then we could go and start it up again
We could start it up again
When you think this night is over
It's feeling like the end
When the daylight's getting closer
We could start it up again
We don't need to find a reason
We don't need to play pretend
We could take what we believe in
And we could start it up again
I'll show you how to do it in the nighttime
It was lookin' like a special on lifetime
Now that I'm here
It's like Times Square
Just had to phone a friend and use a life line
And that's rooftop, dance floor, basement, back room
All night goin' hard as fuck
And I hope you don't think you'll get back soon
Nah, we're just startin' up
When you think this night is over
It's feeling like the end
When the daylight's getting closer
We could start it up again
We don't need to find a reason
We don't need to play pretend
We could take what we believe in
And we could start it up again
And we could start it up again
And we could start it up again

All night goin' hard as fuck
We're partying non-stop and intensely
And we could start it up again
We can restart the party
