Songs About Time

[Bama fan]

Good memories accompany this one:

 

[Hoops66]

There's just something about this song, and the way Peggy sings it, that has just stayed with me through time. Good to listen to it now and then.

If you have a few minutes to listen to this beautiful Kenyan song please do. Translated it means "the rain is coming." Comments?

 

[Kaizen]

9 to 5

 

[Jackcatscal]

And this is the long (and pretty psychedelic) version. Mighty fine.

Grateful Dead, High Time.

 

[Waquoit]

Zombie time. Check out the clothes!

It is generally agreed that this song has the earliest occurrence of the phrase "Who's your daddy?"

George Harrison's ode to the female fans who hung out at the Apple studios:

You've been stood around for years
Seen my smiles and touched my tears
How it's been a long, long time
And how you've been on my mind, my Apple Scruffs.....

 

[Waquoit]

(In the Wee Small Hours...)

Here's another by the Chairmen of the Board:

 

[Scud49]

Hello it's me,
I've thought about us for a long, long time,
Maybe I think too much but something's wrong,
There's something here that doesn't last too long......

 

[Scud49]

And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line.....

Gordon Lightfoot, the Canadian Troubador:

This is a beautiful version of a great Joni Mitchell tune about changing times.

Steely Dan, Black Cow:

On the counter
By your keys
Was a book of numbers
And your remedies
One of these
Surely will screen out the sorrow
But where are you tomorrow.......

 

[Scud49]

The late, great, John Prine:

We had an apartment in the city
Me and Loretta liked living there
Well, it'd been years since the kids had grown
A life of their own, left us alone......

 

[Scud49]

Danny O'Keefe, The Road:

Blues in old motel rooms
Girls in Daddies' cars
You sing about the nights
You laugh about the scars
Coffee in the morning
Cocaine afternoons
You talk about the weather
You grin about the room.....

 

[Scud49]

Another Danny O'Keefe song, "Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues":

Everybody's leavin' town
Some caught a freight, some caught a plane
Find the sunshine, leave the rain
They said this town's a waste of time
I guess they're right, it's wastin' mine....
