Songs About Time

[Hoops66]

This lady is not Bessie Smith but she sure can play! Her name is Doreen Ketchens.

The movie is 50 years old! Hard to believe.

The Tymes had a #1 hit with this song in 1963

 

[Scud49]

Lived on Goose Creek most of my life,
spent 10 long years looking for my wife....

 

[Hoops66]

Staying on the sentimental side of time.

 

[Slipperman]

about the passage of seasons..

Tom Jones' new album - Surrounded By Time

 

[Scud49]

Voices of yesterday make not a sound
Even the roundabout stopped going 'round
I wonder just what it means
Is everything how it seems....?

 

[Bigboote]

about the passage of seasons..

There’s a lot of great orchestral rock out there, but this song is my absolute favorite of the genre.

 

[Bigboote]

This is from a whole album about time. Chorus:

This is the dawn of time
I am the first to stand
Looking through the eyes of the primal man
this is the dawn of time
A withess to the birth
I am the first man on Earth

 

[Bama fan]

Ms Nancy Wilson sings of the seasons:

 

[CL82]

Parsley, sage, rosemary and…

 

[Scud49]

One of those FM staple songs of the 70's, pure musical bliss:

If you had just a minute to breathe
And they granted you one final wish
Would you ask for something like another chance
Or something sim'lar as this
Don't worry too much It'll happen to you...

 

[Scud49]

Another gem:

Come down off your throne and leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting all these years
Somebody holds the key
Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home...

 

[Scud49]

You're a lost sailor, been away too long at sea.
Now the shorelines beckon, there is a price for being free....

 

[HHH]

“Somewhere” from “West Side Story”:

There's a time for us
Someday a time for us
Time together with time to spare
Time to learn
Time to care

There's a place for us
A time and place for us
Hold my hand and we're halfway there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there

Somehow
Someday
Somewhere

I can never watch this scene where Maria sings it to Tony as he’s dying (sorry for any spoilers!) without my allergies kicking in….

 

[Bama fan]

From the sixties folk music era:

 

[Scud49]

I've been walkin' in my sleep
Countin' troubles 'stead of countin' sheep
Where the years went I can't say
I just turned around and they've gone away...

 

[Dublin]

The Rolling Stones - Time Is on My Side

 

[Scud49]

Can you imagine us years from today
Sharing a park bench quietly?
How terribly strange to be seventy
Old friends, memory brushes the same years
Silently sharing the same fears....

 

[Scud49]

Looking back it makes me wonder
Where we’re going how long we’ll stay
I know the road brings rain and thunder
But for the journey what will we pay....

 

[Hoops66]

I'm not sure if this has come up yet but it's a good one...

 

[Ozimoto]

I'm not sure if this has come up yet but it's a good one...

That is a good one, although I like Merrilee Rush's version of that song better.

Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames - from the soundtrack of the great series "The Queen's Gambit":

Every evening, when all my days work is through
I call my baby, and ask her what shall we do
I mention movies, but she don't seem to dig that
And then she ask me, why don't i come to her flat
And have some supper and let the evening pass by
