Curran's debut album "Word Of Mouth" was released Sept 9th, 2007. Half the album was recorded at Studio At The Shore in Malibu; the other half at a friend and producer Ian Nickus's home in the Hollywood Hills. It was there that Curran recorded vocals in a bedroom, drums in the garage, and all other instruments in the living room. Curran had his friends Andy "The One Man Band" Smith, and Ryan "Lion" Gleason record with him on this album. The album also includes very special guests and friends Chris Shiflett from Foo Fighters, Josh Moreau from Hoobastank, and Chauntelle DuPree, from Eisley.
Curran had been working on this album for about 6 months in between his travels as a professional surfer, and touring his 6 song EP, "Citsuca". He had the amazing opportunity to open up for the Foo Fighters on 11 shows on their Acoustic Tour. One of the stops included 3 nights at the Sydney Opera House in Australia. He also played shows with Angels and Airwaves, Switchfoot, Brett Dennen, Eisley, Donavon Frankenreiter, and Matt Costa. and has also got to play The BluesFest in Byron Bay, The Falls Festival in Lorne, and Tasmania, and the Greenroom Festival in Japan. Between all these shows, and surf trips he has managed to finish his debut album "Word Of Mouth".
Curran has been playing music he has always had the idea of giving the album away in the back of his mind, that is why he decided to call it "Word Of Mouth". "I feel if something is good and people like it, it always seems to spread by word of mouth", says Timmy. "The last 3 bands that I really liked I heard about from friends. There is so much great music out there now, whether it be on the radio, MTV, or itunes, but it's always cool being turned onto good music from a friend. I honestly never would of dreamed I would be playing music, especially singing in front of people. I tried for 10 years and was absolutely horrible. It was one day after a surf contest in Japan when I finally wrote a song that I was comfortable showing some of my friends and family. A lot has happened in the last 2 years, and I feel so blessed to be able to be doing two things that I am equally passionate about."

Timmy Curran Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm not makin' that much
And I guess I am blessed
But sometimes it's just hard to see it as such
I'm stuck here alone in the traffic lines
While couples in love in the HOV fly by
I don't get it, I'm not askin' for much
So I'll be pickin' me up, breakin' me down
I was lost, was I found'
I wanna feel everything
When everything feels wrong with me
Take a look, embrace myself
Everybody wants to make it count
Save me, 'cause I can never float sinkin'
Amaze me and I would be there holdin' on for life
Sit in there and gas it in, time to strap apartment
The walls are blank, it's like they're talkin' to me
I put a picture on the wall, I took a chance, I took a fall
She took up fast and gracefully, yes, I was blind and now I see
And I was pickin' me up, breakin' me down
I was lost, was I found'
I wanna feel everything
When everything feels wrong with me
Take a look, embrace myself
Everybody wants to make it count
Save me, 'cause I can never float sinkin'
Amaze me and I would be there holdin' on for life
And I could tell, from the picture I could feel
I was sinkin', throw me out, bring me back to life
The colors that my eyes had never seen
Well, I can see it now
Save me, 'cause I can never float sinkin'
Amaze me and I would be there holdin' on for life
Save me, 'cause I can never float sinkin'
Amaze me and I would be there holdin' on for life
So save me, save
Save me, save me
The lyrics to Timmy Curran's song "Save" explore the feelings of loneliness, dissatisfaction, and the desire for more in life. The singer is struggling with feelings of being stuck, watching others achieve happiness and success while he remains stagnant in traffic. He feels blessed but is having trouble recognizing and appreciating his blessings. The chorus expresses the desire to feel everything and to be saved.
The verses paint a picture of a person trying to find their way out of a rut. They are making changes by decorating the walls, trying to take chances, and seeing things in a new light. However, despite efforts to pick themselves up and move forward, the singer still feels lost and disconnected from the world. The picture they see in front of them and the colors they can now see represent a newfound hope and potential for salvation.
Overall, the song is about finding oneself, breaking free from monotony, and searching for meaning in life. It's about learning to appreciate what we have, accepting ourselves, and being willing to take risks to pursue our dreams.

The colors that my eyes had never seen
The experience I had broadened my horizons and allowed me to see things in a new light
Save me, save

Save me, save me
I am pleading for someone or something to rescue me from my hardships
