‘Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun’
Time, Pink Floyd

Here to learn and be inspired by all the variety of watches that people share. I love vintage/retro and minimalist designs. I prefer tech to not be intrusive but to be convenient. Time is a luxury. I...

Beat me to it 😉
Excellent choice.
"Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose - the more that things change, the more they stay the same " 👍🏻
Love this song, and Rush. The Pershing' s Own army band tribute to Neil Peart version is fantastic.
Time adjacent:
"But I know we can't all stay here forever
So I'm gonna write my words on the face of today"
your time is up my time is now, you can't see me my time is now😜 (john cena intro)

It’s cool to be a cat

As already mentioned, Time by Pink Floyd and Time Stand Still by Rush are two songs with great lyrics about time. I also love the concert opening line of Morris Day and the Time; "What Time Is It?"
Literally the moment I saw the title I thought of time too haha, though my personal favorite is the next verse
So you run and you run to catch up to the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death
(Probably not word for word perfect but you get the point)
I like “Caugth somewhere in time” by Iron Maiden where time is referenced as an epoch or specific period, rather than time to act, time of my life and similar
This how we do it, where I'm from
I'm thuggin' in the club until I see the sun
Shine on my face, got the gun on my waist
Walkin' to my escalade, tell them niggas I'm not afraid
To let the nine sing out, it can ring out
If I could save time in a bottle The first thing that I'd like to do Is to save every day 'Til eternity passes away Just to spend them with you...
One of my very favourite musical verses. 👍

“Will the wind ever remember
The names it has blown in the past?”

Sheer poetry.

Turtles All the Way Down (Sturgill Simpson)
So don't waste your mind on nursery rhymes
Or fairy tales of blood and wine
It's turtles all the way down the line
So to each their own 'til we go home
To other realms our souls must roam
To and through the myth that we all call space and time
Jimmy Buffett fan!😊
Yes sir!! Pirate looks at 40 one of the greatest songs ever written!!!
No time - trying to get a watch repaired
No time - never got a thing to wear
Hear the ringin' of the telephone no no
Hear a ringin' in my head now
No such thing as tomorrow, only one two three go!
Time - got the time tick-tick-tickin' in my head
Time - got the time tick-tick-tickin' in my head
Time - got the time tick-tick-tickin' in my head
Tickin' in my head, tickin' in my head, tickin' in my head
: “Got The Time” by Joe Jackson (also, improbably, but wonderfully, covered by Anthrax)
That anthrax version is great
Great shot!
Time(Clock of the Heart) Culture Club
That anthrax version is great
Played both tonight…spouse was like “when did Joe Jackson go metal?” Love both versions. Thanks for the bump!
Mine is “Time” by Alan Parsons Project

Time, flowing like a river
Time, beckoning me
Who knows when
We shall meet again, if ever
But time keeps flowing
Like a river to the sea
Goodbye my love
Maybe for forever
Goodbye my love
The tide waits for me
Who knows when
We shall meet again, if ever
But time keeps flowing
Like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea
'Til it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forevermore
Goodbye my friend
(Goodbye my love)
Maybe for forever
Goodbye my friend
(Who knows when
We shall meet again)
The stars wait for me
Who knows where
We shall meet again, if ever
But time keeps flowing
Like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea
'Til it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forever now
Forevermore, forevermore
