Hello, All!
Do you have any idea what time it is? I don't. I ate lunch yesterday and then I saw it was 9:30 in the morning. Here are 21 songs about time. Wind your clocks and let's go! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3eJy4khyAAP7MbaniTyhKw?si=6Up0-RXQS3qBji7W6QXVFg 1. "Time Is On My Side" The Rolling Stones. Iconic Stones song from 1964, covered by them and Kai Winding and Irma Thomas. 2. "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?" Chicago. My question exactly. Answer: apparently not. 3. "(We're Gonna) Rock Around The Clock" Bill Haley & the Comets. Recorded in 1954, this was first a B-side, then became one of the biggest selling records of all time. |
4. "Haven't Got Time For The Pain" Carly Simon. Big hit for Carly, her then husband James Taylor plays acoustic guitar.
5. "Any Time At All" The Beatles. From "Hard Day's Night," John on lead. Beatles trail Stones on this list 2-1.
6. "In The Midnight Hour" Wilson Pickett. One of the greatest R&B songs ever. Period.
7. "The Longest Time" Billy Joel. The Piano Man's nod to doo-wop. Cool song, almost acapella.
8. "Time Is Never On Our Side" Steve Earle. Activisti, actor, author, singer/songwriter and professional husband (married 7 times) from Steve's recent album, a response to "Time Is On Our Side."
9. "Time Is Tight" Booker T & the M.Gs. Big hit for the Memphis guys, from the soundtrack of the movie "UpTight." Your instrumental interlude.
10. "After Midnight" Eric Clapton. His cover of a J.J. Cale song. Became a Slowhand signature song.
11. "Wasted Time" Eagles. A blue-eyed soul song, one of their best, in my opinion.
12. "Quarter To Three" Gary "U.S." Bonds. Great dance song, early on everybody thought he was a group.
13. "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times. The Beach Boys. Haunting song from their masterpiece album, "Pet Sounds."
14. "Morning Has Broken" Cat Stevens/Yusuf. From a 1933 Christian hymn. I cover all religions and creeds. What is a creed? Anyone?
15. "Six O'Clock" The Lovin Spoonful. One of my all-time favorite bands. Main guy was John Sebastian, co-founder, Zev Long Last Name. Saw them live. Killed me.
16. "Time Of The Season" The Zombies. UK hitmakers of the sixties. Love this song. Plus one of the great band names.
17. "Twelve Thirty" The Mamas & The Papas. See, I've subtly taken you through an entire day. Mama Cass et al brings us to afternoon.
18. "Turn! Turn! Turn!" The Byrds. Roger McGuinn, the force behind this band, with David Crosby, Chris Hillman there at the start.This famous song written by Pete Seeger.
19. "Closing Time" Semisonic. Band from Minneapolis, this is their big hit. Well, their hit. Great song, though.
20. "Out Of Time" The Rolling Stones. Maybe my favorite Stones song.
21. "Who Knows Where The Time Goes?" Fairport Convention. Richard Thompson's original band, from the UK. Sandy Denny wrote, sings this stunning song. Had to end with this.
Well, that's all the time we have! It's a longer list than usual, but where you going?. Enjoy. One favor: PLAY IT LOUD!
