"This Is the Time"
Song

"This Is the Time (Ballast)" is a song by American rock band Nothing More. The song was released as the lead single from the band's self-titled album. An acoustic version of the song was later released as a stand-alone single.[1] The song was co-written by Jonny Hawkins, Scott Stevens, and Paco Estrada.

Music video

A music video was released for the song on April 21.[2]

The video begins with the intro track "Ocean Floor" and shows vocalist Jonny Hawkins at the bottom of an ocean, having recently broken free from a chain. The video then cuts to a scene of Hawkins walking towards the ocean, chained by the leg to a boulder.

When "This Is the Time" begins, Hawkins drops the boulder into the ocean, sinking quickly to the bottom. He begins to struggle while trying to break free from the chain and boulder. Hawkins manages to free himself from the boulder, trying to swim back to the surface. Hawkins manages to make it to the surface, but is suddenly grabbed by an arm from the ocean's floor, who tries to drag him back down before more arms appear. More arms appear that try to save him and drag him back to the surface. Hawkins is saved as he is left alone on the beach.
