The story behind the song

M. Ward crafts a unique blend of folk and blues-inspired Americana, building his songs from demos recorded on the same four-track analog tape recorder he's used since his teens. His distinctive sound has led him to release many studio albums, including Hold Time, where "One Hundred Million Years" appears. This track, like much of his work, carries the warmth and texture of analog recordings, inviting listeners into a timeless, reflective space. It feels like a journey through memory, both personal and vast.
