Co-written by Thomson alongside Steven Solomon, William Boreing, and Lindsay Boreing, “Five More Minutes” is steeped in bittersweet nostalgia. With the airy, heartfelt production serving as a gentle undercurrent, Thomson’s voice carries the weight of memories too precious to fade, delivering each lyric with the kind of emotional clarity only a seasoned artist can summon.

“He’s almost 16, sometimes it’s hard to believe / Cause I still see him in my mind / Sitting in his carseat singing Jesus loves me,” she sings in the opening verse, immediately painting a vivid picture of a mother’s eternal memory of her son. The song then pivots tenderly to a daughter’s journey, a pink Huffy bike, Sunday dinners, and dancing with sisters — all snapshots of a life lived fully and loved deeply. There’s a quiet reverence in Thomson’s delivery, not just for the memories she recalls but for the time we never seem to have enough of.

This isn’t just a song — it’s a scrapbook of life’s most sacred moments, shared in a way that feels intimately universal. Whether it's watching a child grow up, chasing dreams in Nashville, or saying goodbye to a loved one, “Five More Minutes” captures what so many of us wish for: just a little more time with the people and places that shaped us.

In a world that often moves too fast, Cyndi Thomson's latest release slows everything down — inviting us to sit in the stillness, revisit the memories, and hold them just a little longer. If music’s true power lies in its ability to make us feel seen, “Five More Minutes” is nothing short of a triumph.
