With All Good Things Take Time, CB Ghost leans into the art of patience — a lesson carved from love, life, and the long road of chasing dreams. Written from a place of self-realisation, the track reminds us that the things worth having rarely arrive on command; sometimes the waiting is part of the becoming. 

At the core of CB’s songwriting is a simple pursuit: make bodies move, make minds wander, and tell the truth without compromise. All Good Things Take Time delivers all three. On the surface, it’s a foot-stomping celebration, driven by thunderous drums, rhythmic guitars, and a blues-soaked organ that carries the song like smoke through the air. 

But beneath the energy lies something sharper. Some of the lyrics act as a brutal mirror — reflecting our own failings, flaws, and the uncomfortable truths we often avoid. While the chorus offers a positive affirmation, there’s depth hidden in its poetic turns, leading listeners toward a take-it-or-leave-it mantra: accept yourself, own your path, and keep moving. 

It’s a song that challenges both character and consequence — your own, and those around you — asking for reflection while never losing its pulse. Surf folk rock pop with grit, soul, and a hard-earned wisdom stitched into every note. 

CB Ghost is an Australian singer-songwriter and frontman forging his own sound in the space where surf, folk, rock, and pop collide. Born from the sunburnt coastline of Forresters Beach, his music carries the pulse of the ocean — warm, wild, and restless — blending catchy melodies with raw, poetic storytelling. 

Described as “Oasis meets Jack Johnson with Chris Cornell feels,” CB Ghost has quickly carved a reputation as a unique voice in Australia’s independent music scene. His songs balance laid-back coastal grooves with emotional weight, drawing listeners into stories of love, loss, chaos, and redemption. There’s a barefoot honesty to his writing — songs that feel lived in, weathered by saltwater and time. 

At the heart of CB Ghost’s sound is a fusion of surf folk rock pop: shimmering acoustic and now electric guitars, driving rhythms, soaring choruses, and lyrics that hit like waves — sometimes gentle, sometimes crashing. His debut album Mayhemic introduced that signature style, with standout tracks like Hollywood Hills, Hold Down Hymn, and One Wave at a Time building a loyal and growing audience. 

Backing him is his band of merry Ghosts: the incomparable award-winning Gem on keys, Glenn ‘Ginger’ Baker on drums, Archie Petrie on violin and 19-year-old bass prodigy Halen Ryan. A lineup that brings diversity, power, and unpredictability to the music. Together they create a sound that moves between intimate and explosive, polished and primal. 

CB Ghost live is where the songs truly breathe — a mix of singalong hooks, emotional depth, and high-energy connection. It’s surf-soaked soul for the thinkers, the drifters, and the beautifully untamed.
