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 ↴
I'm last in
I played the cards
Time to cash in
All the girls here is lookin' like Maxim
Movie star life so it's lights, camera, action
So lemme direct
Only one word matters,
I am
Locked in from the minute I walk in
Through the middle of the floor
So let's call it collect
Well I don't need a game plan
I rock the club like a motherfuckin' caveman
I was prayin' for these bottles and models,
But now I got 'em
So now I'm chillin' in the back saying Amen
This too much fun
You see, we finally startin' to get it like we should
Like you been playin ' lotto for life
And it look like you just won
So when they see you and you're lookin' this good
Everybody gon' swoon
Out here the parties never end too soon
Happens every time I go and step up in the room
I do it like that so lemme see ya,
Lemme see ya swoon,
Yeah, lemme see ya swoon
We can set it off, make the bass go boom
Do it so fly, I could take you to the moon
We gon' run it back, so lemme see ya
Lemme see ya swoon
Yeah lemme see ya swoon
Walked in,
Place froze up
Nowadays everybody shows up
It's like that
From the minute that we pulled up
We gon' shut it down
Until the club close up
Table in the back, yeah,
I got ya
See whatever you want,
I won't cost ya
Welcome to the life,
Yes we do this every night
'Cause you know that all the bras
Pop off like cheap vodka
Girls around me lookin' like a huddle (Yeah)
I need a hand, I could use a stunt double
Somebody save me
'Cause I'm getting into trouble
See I tired out your girl,
Now all she wanna do is cuddle (Ha ha)
I could get used to this
'Cause you know we gonna do this all the time
I walked up Excuse me miss,
You're turning heads when you're lookin' so fine
Out here the parties never end too soon
Happens every time I go and step up in the room
I do it like that so lemme see ya,
Lemme see ya swoon,
Yeah, lemme see ya swoon
We can set it off, make the bass go boom
Do it so fly, I could take you to the moon
We gon' run it back, so lemme see ya
Lemme see ya swoon
Yeah lemme see ya swoon
After all the drinks I consume,
Party all night, running on fumes
Same clothes like I'm the cartoons
'Cause I went and did it hard from midnight to noon
Come around every time I sing a tune
All the girls are lookin' like Heidi Klum
Now everything' I'm reppin' is smelling like perfume
And they do the same thing
When I step in the room, they swoon
Out here the parties never end too soon
Happens every time I go and step up in the room
I do it like that so lemme see ya,
Lemme see ya swoon,
Yeah, lemme see ya swoon
We can set it off, make the bass go boom
Do it so fly, I could take you to the moon
We gon' run it back, so lemme see ya
Girl, you gotta swoon
Out here the parties never end too soon
Happens every time I go and step up in the room
I do it like that so lemme see ya,
Lemme see ya swoon,
Yeah, lemme see ya swoon
We can set it off, make the bass go boom
Do it so fly, I could take you to the moon
We gon' run it back, so lemme see ya
Lemme see ya swoon

(Let me see you swoon)
(Ha) Swoon
Yeah Let me see you swoon
Yeah Let me see you swoon
We gon' run it back so lemme see ya

Swoon
The lyrics of "Swoon" by Timeflies depict the glamorous lifestyle of a celebrity at a party. The persona in the song arrives fashionably late to the party and describes the view of all the girls looking like Maxim models. The persona enjoys the perks of the movie star life with lights, camera, and action. The persona is surrounded by luxury and feels "locked in" from the minute they walk into the party. They make it clear that they do not need a game plan to rock the club like a caveman, and they are living their best life with bottles and models. The chorus reveals that everyone in the room is swooning over the persona, and they continue to run the party with a repeat of the chorus.
Throughout the verses, the persona continues to describe their luxurious life, with all the bras popping off like cheap vodka. The persona is living it up with a table in the back and inviting anyone to join in on the fun. The song ends with the persona being the center of attention and swooned over by everyone at the party.
Overall, "Swoon" portrays the image of someone who has it all and enjoys the high life. The lyrics suggest a hedonistic lifestyle filled with parties, luxury, and fame.

Fashionably late
I arrived late on purpose to make a statement

All the girls here is lookin' like Maxim
All the girls here are attractive and look like models
Movie star life so it's lights, camera, action
My life is like that of a movie star, with lots of attention
So lemme direct
I'm taking control of the situation
Only one word matters,
The most important thing is respect
So let's call it respect
We should respect each other
I am
I'm confident in myself
Locked in from the minute I walk in
I'm in the zone as soon as I arrive
Through the middle of the floor
I'm attracting attention as I move through the room
So let's call it collect
This is an easy win for me
Well I don't need a game plan
I can just improvise and still win
I rock the club like a motherfuckin' caveman
I dominate the club like a savage

I finally have what I wanted
So now I'm chillin' in the back saying Amen
I'm enjoying my success and thanking my good fortune

So when they see you and you're lookin' this good
When people see us and our success, they'll be impressed
Everybody gon' swoon
Everyone will be enamored with us
Walked in,
I arrived at the venue
Place froze up
Everyone stopped what they were doing to look at me
Nowadays everybody shows up
Everyone wants to attend the same events as me
It's like that
This is the way things are now
From the minute that we pulled up
As soon as we arrived
We gon' shut it down
We're going to take over the party
Until the club close up
We'll be partying until it's time to leave
Table in the back, yeah,
We have a reserved table in the back

We'll be living this lifestyle all the time
I walked up Excuse me miss,
I approached an attractive woman
You're turning heads when you're lookin' so fine
You're very attractive and everyone is noticing
After all the drinks I consume,
After drinking a lot
Party all night, running on fumes
We're partying all night long and tired but still going
Same clothes like I'm the cartoons
I'm wearing the same clothes and don't care
'Cause I went and did it hard from midnight to noon
I partied hard all night and day
Come around every time I sing a tune
People come to see me perform every time
All the girls are lookin' like Heidi Klum
All the girls are attractive and look like models
Now everything' I'm reppin' is smelling like perfume
Everything I own is high-quality
And they do the same thing
The girls are impressed by us
When I step in the room, they swoon
I cause a commotion and the girls are attracted to me
Girl, you gotta swoon
You're going to be impressed by me
(Let me see you swoon)
I want to see you attracted to me
(Ha) Swoon
I'm so attractive that people will swoon
We gon' run it back so lemme see ya
We're going to do this again, so show me your attraction
(Get it? Good)
Do you understand what's going on? Good.
Swoon
Be attracted to me
