Georgie Winchester – Golden Times (2021)

The world is always moving so quickly leaving us with little time to really appreciate the special moments in our lives. Fortunately, Georgie Winchester is here to remind us to take things slow and easy with her single ‘Golden Times’. Through the music, she reminds us that we don’t have to rush and that slowing down lets us appreciate special moments, time with others and nature.

Through her music, Winchester brings her love of nature and surfing to our ears. Using the waves of surfing as a basis for the waves of emotions in life, she casts listeners into the uncontrollable movement of life. While riding these waves, she splashes us with the good and bad moments of life drawing us to the realisation that they make us who we are.



The easy acoustic guitar opening of ‘Golden Times’ has you slowing down and relaxing into the music. The intent of the track comes through from the first note and takes the tension out of your shoulders. There is a wonderful ocean feeling to the music like you are sitting on the cool sands of the beach in the early morning watching the sunrise. Through the guitar-driven melody, you are able to take the time to breathe deeply and take stock of everything around you.

The relaxing vibes of the music are enhanced by Winchester’s vocals. The laid-back folky flow of her voice laps against your brain like the waves of the ocean running over your feet. The harmonisations create a layered feeling to the music while adding a wonderful lightness. As her performance draws you further into the relaxing vibes, there is something unbelievably happy that comes to rest in your chest. She effortlessly has you sitting back and appreciating everything that happens around you.

Georgie Winchester helps you slow down in the fast-paced world we live in to take stock of everything around you in ‘Golden Times’. The single lifts the tension from your shoulders while letting you breathe deeply and freely. The music is relaxing while her vocals bring a laid-back vibe of early mornings spent on the beach letting nature soak into your skin.
