Mitchell Broodley on Overtime Again – Borrowed Time on the Clock

How many of us have stared at the clock and whispered, “Just a few more minutes, please”? How many nights have felt like the fourth quarter, ticking down, while you silently pray for overtime? That’s where Mitchell Broodley plants his flag with Overtime Again. And I felt that pull straight away.

Broodley released Overtime Again on February 18, 2026, with the weight of distance and the hunger for one more drive down the field. He builds the song around football imagery, yet he treats it as emotional framing. The clock becomes the villain. The field becomes the space between two people. Time turns into the opponent nobody can tackle.

Borrowed Time and Fourteen Inches

“Tonight I wanna take it slow / cause the 14 inches can’t let go.” I read that line twice. Fourteen inches. The physical space between two bodies sitting side by side. Close enough to feel warmth, far enough to remind you that tomorrow brings departure. It’s intimate, and human.

Moreover, Mitchell Broodley writes from experience. A long-distance relationship drives the narrative, and every lyric holds that sense of borrowed time. The melody leans modern country, soft, clean and grounded, but the storytelling goes steady like a quarterback reading the defence.

From South Carolina to Vermont

Raised in South Carolina and now based in Vermont, Broodley brings contrast into his music. Early Nashville opportunity knocked once. He chose life first – law school, a leadership role at a community hospital, a family. I know how it is. Then, during the pandemic, he built a basement studio beside an ambitious aquaponics experiment that didn’t survive. But the music did.

That detail alone tells me a lot. There’s no hype in here. Mitchell Broodley writes, performs, and self-produces, while also working with Nashville musicians. Distance, responsibility, ambition, love – he folds them into melody.

A Thoughtful Return

Mitchell Broodley‘s debut holiday single already hit #1 on two Amazon Music holiday charts and reached #6 overall on Amazon’s Holiday Best Sellers. Therefore, Overtime Again feels like a chapter, and we are ready for more.

I trust artists who disappear, live, then write about it. When the clock runs low, they ask for overtime. And honestly, who hasn’t? Catch Mitchell Broodley on Spotify, Instagram, and TikTok – and if the clock runs low, ask for overtime.
