Songs About Time

[Scud49]

 

[Hoops66]

Sentimental once again...

 

[Scud49]

It's the same kind of story
That seems to come down from long ago
Two friends having coffee together
When something flies by their window.....

 

[Scud49]

On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime....

 

[Scud49]

June, she'll change her tune
In restless walks she'll prowl the night
July, she will fly
And give no warning to her flight....

Grace Griffith died yesterday at 64. She was a well-known figure in the Mid-Athantic folk scene; came down with Parkinson’s in her 30’s. She had a golden voice and big blue-gray eyes. I loved the many shows of hers that I saw.

This song doesn’t mention time specifically, but is about waiting.

 

[Scud49]

After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed....

The above group New Order was formed by the remaining three band members of the iconic band Joy Division, after their lead singer Ian Curtis committed suicide. Curtiss was driven by depression, epileptic seizures, and marital problems between he and his wife. This song "Love Will Tear Us Apart Again" was released a month after his death:

How many songs don’t have some reference to time one way or another?

 

[CL82]

“As time goes by, I realize .... “
that this thread may never end.

And as long as we’re talking about the band Chicago:

I don't remember if this has been posted but I just remembered it. Strange video with this one.

If you go outside at night over the next couple of days or so and look up, you might be lucky enough to see what John Denver saw up on top of that Colorado mountain, that moved him enough to write this song:

And the Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
