Synopsis
Roadhouse perform "Time" in a polished early-1990s rock video built around the band's musicianship and Paul Jackson's commanding vocal. The clip alternates between full-band performance shots and close-ups of the singer and guitarists, emphasizing the song's reflective mood, melodic chorus, and prominent guitar work. Its presentation is direct rather than narrative, using the band, their instruments, and a dark performance setting to reinforce the song's themes of distance, memory, and life on the road.
Factoids & Trivia
- "Time" appears on Roadhouse's self-titled 1991 album, which is sometimes referred to as "On a Desert Road" because of a lyric in the song.
- The track was co-written by Richard Day, Paul Jackson, and Pete Willis.
- Pete Willis, who plays guitar on the recording, had previously been a member of Def Leppard. Roadhouse's connection to that band was one of the main points of interest surrounding the group.
- The album was recorded at Crow Edge and Blue Room Studios in Sheffield and produced by Chris Sheldon and Roadhouse.
- Roadhouse made four videos for MTV during the band's short active period between 1990 and 1991.
- The song runs for just over five minutes, giving the arrangement room for its extended melodic development and guitar spotlight.
- Roadhouse released only one full studio album. The group's brief recording career and Willis' presence have helped "Time" remain a notable deep cut among fans of early-1990s melodic hard rock.
