Wasting Time

Folk-pop singer-songwriter Calida Sari crafts raw, acoustic, and Americana music shaped by her lived experience with chronic illness, ADHD, and autism. Based in Boorloo (Perth), her work explores pain, resilience, and survival, transforming personal challenges into powerful storytelling. Song Info: Written during months of severe illness, “Wasting Time” captures the suspended reality of chronic illness and disability. Recovery is rarely simple; illnesses linger and days dissolve into hours spent in bed watching life continue elsewhere. The song reflects isolation, frustration, and the unsettling feeling of time passing without you.
