A short time ago I did a post about time featuring photos by my friend, Steve. Being this is my first full week back in the saddle with my regular routine, I thought it would be a good time to follow that post with some audience participation.
Here’s your challenge. In your comment, post a video of a song with “Time” as part of the title. There are many, but it would be great if you posted something that is part of your memory – a movie, a song from your youth, a memorable moment, or whatever. If you can, return later in the day to enjoy a wide array of musical treats.
Now the tough part, no duplicates.
I intentionally chose one that is a bit different, then again, that’s me. Enjoy Time from Hans Zimmer’s soundtrack to Inception.
Love that movie, Frank. Watched it several times (oh, pun not intended) and still feel like there’s more….
Victoria,
Interestingly, I used a video from a movie I didn’t see … so thanks for endorsing it! Pink Floyd’s Time was the first song that came to my mind when I was preparing this post, so thanks for using it! Meanwhile, I patiently wait for some of the others.
“Time In A Bottle” from Jim Croce, who was taken before his time, like so many others. And no ability to find or embed videos.
Archon,
Good choice … and I have you covered. Enjoy the song and the video.
This is my pick too. I absolutely love this song.:)
Paradise,
Good pick, but because you don’t have one (technically), here’s on for you … and with handbells
Archon,
Thanking you for you contribution with another one.
Frank, a song from my youth.
Bumble,
With the weekend upon us, that song title is fitting … then again, we should always have good times. Gotta love The Cars.
When they released their album and toured last year(?), this was their opening song!
Hey Bumble,
Here’s a power ballad for you
How interesting that the first song that came to mind was Jim Croce’s Time in a Bottle! That song always touches me. But #2…Time Passages, by Al Stewart. I don’t know what happens if I add this link…I apologize if nothing happens at all!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRKyGhgoNE8
Debra,
I love Al Stewart’s music … so many thanks!
Hey Debra,
Because I know you like to sing along and revisit your youth, here’s one for you.
Hey Frank, here’s my selection, “Time of the Season”, a classic song released by the Zombies in 1968. I remember when I was a kid going on family outings on weekends; the time when my dad would most be around. He was a traveling salesman so often he was away during the week. I looked forward to Friday night when he’d come home. I’d wait by the window watching for his car. On the weekends, he was there for my siblings and me — something my mother cherished since his dealing with us gave her time to do her own thing. On our family outings, when we’d all be together — Dad, Mom, my sis and bro and Granny, Dad always tuned the radio to my favorite stations.
This was a song I enjoyed hearing on the car ride to or from wherever we were going: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc7b62El_fk
Lame,
Ah yes … 1968 – one of the craziest years in modern history … and a wonderful song. I didn’t realize the song’s writer was Ron Argent – who had a band named Argent. Meanwhile, thanks for sharing you special attachment to this song …. ah yes, the anxiousness of time while waiting.
Yeah, I remember Argent and 1968. That was a big year alright — helped make me the cynic I am.
I can understand that … and I love documentaries about that year.
V, I loved “The Time of the Season!” That’s my pick, too…
Cathy,
That’s good one .. but heck, I’m going to add one for you from our era. Hope you approve.
Yes, I love that one, too, Frank! Thank you!
My reserves can come in handy.
You have great taste in music, Cathy!
Lame …. saw this one today and thought of you.
Nice Frank!
I gave that dvd to hubs to watch while he was out to sea and he left it on the boat for the crew, so I’ve never seen it, I prob wouldn’t like it, but like the song!
Seashells,
Bummer that he didn’t see it … but hey, he used your gift for his crew. Here’s a song for you.
Was there sposed to be a link? No? Sad face
Duh, stupid me< I got it, thank you!
No problem … here’s one for you and your captain.
“Time and the river” the dream merchants…
Bulldog,
Here’s one for you & Mrs. Bulldog.
INXS and Jimmy Barnes (Cold Chisel) rock The Easybeats: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x20ns6_inxs-good-times_music
1986 was my the year I graduated from college, moved to Melbourne and got a ‘real’ job – you could say this was one of that years theme songs
Plus it’s an awesome version! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqdNcAjj9p4
Kanerva,
A high-energy song …. and many thanks for sharing its personal significance.
Hey Kanerva,
For attending all the way from Finland, here’s one for you.
Thanks for finding the embedding code, great selections here
Tardy responder here, Hootie and the Blowfish never did much for me earlier, although I have to admit that this wasn’t too bad
Good that I was able to find something tolerable.
Steve,
A great addition, as well as a tie back to our post! Lots of classic songs so far!!!
BTW – I didn’t realize that Rod (Hold Your Head Up) Argent wrote Time for All Seasons.
Steve,
Here one back at you.
Time may be on your side, but it isn’t waiting!
BTW…Hold Your Head Up has to be one of the most repetitive songs ever….in the vein of I’m Your Captain (I’m getting closer to my home, over and over and over and over……)
True … I think John Mayer had a very repetitive song in recent years, but I can’t recall the title.
The first song that came to mind was Cindi Lauper’s Time After Time. How often I listened to it when a teen, I cannot count: http://youtu.be/VdQY7BusJNU
Colline,
I know there are many, but this is one of the songs I’ve been waiting for. Thanks for coming through … and relating it to your teen years. Hope you can see some of the others!
I will have to come back later and listen to some more. You have a great idea – and I enjoy listening to the music as I read the b;logs I follow
This idea came to me last week … and it’s been fun as I’ve listened to all the songs.
A second one for my Toronto friend.
Nice one Frank
I enjoy listening to Carly Simon.
This was going to be my first option….
Good one, gotta love Cyndi.
Doggy,
Well now … because you didn’t bring one, it’s up to the director of this play to get you one. Because you are the party guy, well … this fits.
I can’t believe you invoked Eddie.
Sigh…
Well … but we know that Doggy is a Party All the Time guy.
Ha! Well played, Sir!
Time After Time, Cyndi Lauper – Time after Time – part of my 80s teenage years! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVS5rS_da9E&w=420&h=315
Oh, it didnt embed even though I chose the embed code. Oh well…
Vanessa,
That’s ok as I found the missing = sign. Meanwhile, glad Time after Time took you back to your times. Because it was already used, here’s another one from that era. Can you relate to this one? Here’s Time of My Life from Dirty Dancing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpmILPAcRQo
Oh Colline posted her Time After Time just a few minutes before me, I was already on this page and had looked through to check it hadn’t been posted first, and then went off to find it on YouTube, and in the meantime she posted it, ha! Oh yes, Time of my Life is a definite fave too, well the whole movie really!
Glad my reserve bank was able to deliver.
Frank, I have a rather poignant one, Katharine Jenkins singing Time to Say Goodbye… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl9jz-U9drk&w=420&h=315
Tom,
That’s another song I’ve been anxiously anticipating, but then you provide with the powerful voice of the Welsh beauty. Very well done!
Hey Tom,
A great for you from an American icon of the blues.
That was a nice song, Frank… quite relaxing!
… and from a classic artist! Glad you enjoyed it.
Some great picks! Looking forward to seeing what gets added.
Here’s one – Iron Maiden – Caught Somewhere in Time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_K6sl4jp3A
Oh, and Stevie Ray Vaughan – Closing time Tune http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sAuPG0xQyE
Guapo,
I’ve been anxious to see your additions, and not surprised with two (as there are many). Interestingly, you provided some crunch and licks with the axe. Well done! … and to the best of my knowledge, ABBA did not have any songs with “time” in the title.
Figures Guap would grab one of my first thoughts. Going to grab another one…
Red,
After all, as we know, Guap is a walking music catalog.
Guapo … right back at you with one of my fav classic bands.
Enjoying this one now, while scrolling down through the ones added since my last check in.
I have been a massive fan of Hans Zimmer since I saw the movie “Backdraft “… this is a movie I haven’t seen, but I have listen to the soundtrack, beautiful .. did a post about him a while ago … http://wp.me/p293Pw-3en
For this challenge, witch I love … I chose … Coldplay’s “clocks” – not a Coldplay fan, but I like this song .. and have used for my post about “my timekeepers” – http://wp.me/p293Pw-4eN … and the song http://youtu.be/d020hcWA_Wg
Viveka,
Thanks for both links to your past posts. I recall the one about your watch, but the other I missed because it was around my vacation. Being a Hans Zimmer fan, many thanks.
Although you broke the rules, I like this Coldplay song a lot.
…. so I’ll keep it.
I just realized there’s no Elvis on this list … so hey … you’re the lucky winner.
It didn’t know there was going to be a winner .. *smile
I’m not that big Elivs fan – even if I like his voice .. I would know if he had recorded something about time.
I love to win. *smile Thanks …
As I find some others, I’m passing it on … and noticed you haven’t received one from me.
Okay … our secret *smile – I don’t know why I never fancy him, but his voice is fantastic.
This is great, Frank! Really enjoying everyone’s music pics, and stories. Good stuff!
Thanks Victoria … and I’m sure more is to come!
I hope so. So far, I’ve been pleasantly reminded of Cyndi Lauper, and SRV. It’s amazing how just a few notes can instantaneously bring you back to where you were, when you first heard the song.
Good points … and I imagine additions will also have some other genres.
These are for my good friend Tim, who happens to be away. I know he would enjoy this post, and because he likes his jazz, here are two for him,
First, from a jazz icon
Second, some modern jazz from France as he enjoys French … and this is an interesting video.
Oh! What a great collection of videos! I’ll play along
Alex,
Outstanding addition to the set! … I know you enjoy music, so keep your eye and ear here.
I’ll try to make it back around
Who knows, I may even have a song for you.
Hmmmm…..
After the Louis Armstrong song you had yesterday, I thought you would like this one.
One of my favorites- I would listen to my brothers Styx record over & over again..
Ginger,
Great pick … heck, I go back to their first hit (before it was a hit on Wooden Nickel record label). However, I now that the flesh eaters are preventing you from having too much time on your hands.
Hey Neighbor …. One for you.
Dang, Colline stole mine–or I should say I was late to the party.
TBM,
Oh no … however, no fear, AFA to the rescue. I’m going to go out on a limb on this one. But knowing that you are a movie lover, at this it’s from a movie.
And who doesn’t love this one!!!
Too many good songs, I need to get back to work.
TBM,
Because Davey Jones came from your current side of the pond, thought of you with this one … although I imagine they were before your time. Here’s The Monkeys with Looking for the Good Times. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUdu4S7SkqQ
I like this song because it reminds me of a really nice trip with someone very dear to me, I started singing it because we were really late and needed to be in the airport, I was rushing him, then on the the taxi, the taxi driver was driving like crazy, no seat belts available, he wouldn’t respect the lights, wild ride, thought we were going to die when he changed lanes to the upcoming traffic because it was “empty”, out time was ticking out, and I kept singing that song making the other nervous.
Enjoy Time is Ticking Out by The Cranberries http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AJsLkRbQ74
Doggy,
Good find … especially because I didn’t know the song nor the artist. The singer has a Pat Benatar look.
Doggy,
Because I’m confident you appreciate an attractive woman, here’s one for you.
ooohooo! Good one, Frank! Thanks!
Very fitting for your Bob Marley quote.
Thanks for posting it here.
Thank You.
This one is mine, and I am slightly surprised not to see it before now…
My daughter can name this tune in three beats or less. She should. Her father put this on a mix CD for me while I was pregnant with her.
Red,
Love the personal story around this song that I didn’t know. Many thanks for sharing.
I will have to get it from YT. Server is not doing me justice today. Netiher is WP come to think of it. I had no notifications. Meh.
Hey Red … a second one for you.
But! Check this one out. I think you’ll like it.
Very good addition …. the beginning sets one up for a change in direction.
How so? It really isn’t the best version of his song. Guess because it’s live. I still like it, but I’ve heard better/clearer versions.
I am such a fan of “Time to Say Goodbye”. I have the Sarah Brightman version and the one with Andrea Bocelli. And I think that Katherine Jenkins does a spectacular job with it as well. Nice selections though – especially the Zombies!
Ooh! I almost forgot the Time Warp. Priceless!
Renee,
Glad you found several you liked. But there is a price to pay for not posting one … that is I post for you. Because you mentioned Time Warp, here’s a jazz tune of the same name, but nothing to do with Rocky Horror … Chick Correa with Time Warp. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQLM0S0G2Us
Here is my contribution by one of my all time favourite artists (great idea by the way): Big Time by Peter Gabriel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxUFYNZm5oU
Otto,
I was wondering if this one come along. Many thanks!
Otto,
Not sure if you like the blues or not, but here’s one from the great Buddy Guy. Besides, I’m adding variety to the post.
Blues is not my biggest think. I like some, though, and this one is actually great. Thanks for the suggestion.
Glad I picked a good one!
Here’s one of my favorites:
Elyse,
Wow … good choice … we needed a ballad style.
I love that song. It takes me back to the beach where I grew up. Thanks for letting me go there!
Here’s one for wonderful couple in northern Virginia.
Oh I loved that! Mr. AndAHalf (as Guap calls him) is still sleeping which is good cause he’d hate it. Oy. My next husband will like all music that I like. He’ll dance, too.
Oh you are too funny … and I give me a song that he hates. …. and you’re still funny!
It actually drives me crazy. But he does have many good qualities so I put up with the music. And the dancing. And the ….
Maybe I should change the dedication to you and Cooper.
Cooper loves my music. He never complains.
I did have a dog once (Kling) who used to sing along with me while I did my vocal lessons for voice class. It did not make me feel like I had a future in opera. Which is just as well as it is one form of music I don’t like.
Oh … a reminder … in Interesting Reads in today’s OITS is a link that I had you in mind.
OK, I’ll see if I can figure out the one you’re talking about. But now I need to go to work!
Thus reading material at work … hint … what were we just discussing?
Since I’m late to the party. Maybe this is a fitting video by one of my all time favorite performers. Tom Waits. One of the best concerts I’ve ever attended – bar none.
Enjoy Tom Waits – CLOSING TIME http://youtu.be/kGp1U3g9REA
Mobius,
What a wonderful addition! A bit different from the rest – which is really like.
Mobius …. here’s one right back at you as I wide the spectrum.
Seems I got here too late. Personally I would have gone for Pink Floyd, but how about this?
Fasab,
Never late as long as you come prepared, which (not surprisingly) you have. Nothing like a little current pop to round out the selections.
Fasab,
Knowing that you are in the south, here’s one for you with a bit of southern flavor.
Thanks. This was a great idea.
I don’t know why I didn’t think of this one before
And how about a trip through time with Bill Joel? http://youtu.be/eFTLKWw542g
Both good videos … of course I disqualify the last one (no time in title) … although a cool video. Remember, it because it may come in handy.
I don’t believe I have many instrumentals, so here’s one (plus a good video) … Time Machine by Alan Parsons.
The first Time song that popped into my head was back in Jr. Highi when I saw Romeo & Juliet. A Time for Us. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FHpmn-KYec
Hey everyone … .it’s my other half …. and little did she know i was the answer to her song. Good choice.
Knowing that you enjoy Lady Antebellum, here’s one for you.
You are a man of substance, Frank. good thing, The Right Angle saw you as more than just a good time.
(Ratt opening for Poison was (I think) the first concert I went to (might have been Iron Maiden.). I’ve been trying to redeem myself ever since.) … Nothing but a Good Time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nC9P8-B42cA
LOL … and she’ll see this tomorrow. Thanks for another addition as the opportunities are endless.
Growing up in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in the 70′s was a special time. Home of one of the all time great bands The Guess Who. They ruled the airwaves in their hometown … No Time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUzLpDQyVNo
John,
As one who grew up during the Guess Who’s prime, I’ve been waiting on this one … many thanks … and write back at you with another Canadian gift.
Barenaked Ladies are indeed Canadian, though I never really connected with most of their stuff. Guess Who used to play teen dances in Winnipeg, went to a few in the day. Scary to see how big they got.
Wow … you saw them back in the day. Awesome! Were they the first Canadian band to make it big?
I guess if you don’t count Paul anka or bobby curtola. Lol. The Band was Canadian and steppenwolf had John Kay. Good question.
I was actually thinking at the rock band level. I didn’t realize John Kay … but I’m guessing you are suggesting the rest of the band wasn’t Canadian.
I am not sure about that John for sure. Just did the wiki thing. They formed in Toronto as the Sparrows. Changed to steppenwolf and were a combined American Canadian group.
Good info … good band! …. and you won’t believe what I found.
I’m in suspense lol.
Didn’t you see the Steppenwolf video I added?
Have to go online. Post is to big for my phone. Lol
Look at this whole post when on a larger screen … a lot of musical entertainment of many ranges.
I will. Get back to you later
Whoops. Formed in la in 1963 from the remnants if the sparrows.
Oh swell. I show up after everyone else has posted a million songs. But my first choice isn’t here!! (I don’t think.)
I do love me a crooner. (swoon)
Maddie,
A classic song + a classic singer = A fabulous addition
Here’s one for you.
Love the movie; love the song!! Thanks, Frank.
Fun idea. I only wish I had time to find one. But I’m commenting today from a car moving at 70+ mph along I- 71 North using my iPad. It’s a wonderful little device. If only I knew how to use it.
Christine,
Well then … Because I want you to have a safe trip, here’s a beautiful song from Neil Diamond.
One of my favorites.
Christine,
I think this one will make you smile.
Lovely array of music Frank – some I had not heard of before.
Tons of stuff here … including this one.
Did I broke the rules ???? ….. there is nothing more connected to time than clocks. And our time is measured in seconds, minutes, hours .. that makes days .. weeks and … really time that we lose from our lives. Mine is the most suitable … for this challenge. I PROTEST!!!!!!!
Winning a protest is difficult because I’m judge and jury.
From the second paragraph, second sentence. In your comment, post a video of a song with “Time” as part of the title.”
Case closed.
Okay … I still protest !!!!!!
Oh Frank, I’m coming late to the party, but what a GREAT idea you’ve had. I don’t think anyone else mentioned this, but this is the first song that came to mind: the Chambers Brother’s 60′s classic “Time has Come Today” Here’s the link; what memories this brings back. http://youtu.be/oxpcZrQQM-4
Lynn,
Another great addition … gotta love the classics! This has definitely been fun, and heck, I may do this once a month.
FYI: Videos like being on their own line, so this was an easy fix.
Lynn,
I imagine you’ll appreciate the song and the scenes from this video as I widen the spectrum.
Love this! Great choice, Frank.
Thank you … and I thought you would appreciate a tune from a classic.
I know this is late and I don’t have a clip and I have not read all the previous comments just some. Anyone mentioned Josh White’s: Hard Times Blues?
Rachel,
Here ya go ..
Rachel,
Just so you know, here the same title, but different.
I’m so glad. I used to love his songs when I was very young.
Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.
Lao Tzu
Very good!
Victoria,
I know there are many other songs with Time in the title, but I think this is a good closing song for this post. Tony Bennett with Time After Time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAAgXRGHrqU
Perfect.
And just so you know, I’m not trying to be punny, but this really is a ‘timeless’ song. And the light show, wonderful!
LOL … well said … and as light snow falls here.
It is falling here too. I’m wondering if Mother Nature is trying to tell me something.
Like, move to warmer climate!
Signs, signs, everywhere are signs…
that’s a song, too, isn’t it? My knees are screaming, “beach! must. get. to. beach.”
Because this is a Time post, I won’t post that song.
haha! Good.
[...] a week ago, my friend Frank and I were playing around with Time and ‘signs’, at his blog post. Commenting on how I thought Mother Nature was giving me a personal sign, that morning, in [...]
Alas, because I have no shame, I am posting Britney Spears
Do I love this song despite the heinous title? But of course.
By the way, this is was super cool idea for a blog. Cheers.
Teeny,
Glad you enjoyed this post. FYI: On Friday April 12th I’ll be announcing Act 2 of Time: The Musical. I’m assuming you mean this one from Britney … Baby One More Time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82O5bsQsShY
This was very clever, Frank, and I really enjoyed it. So much so tht I’m going to search iTunes for the Lou Rawls “All Things in Time.” Man, I sure do miss him. Thanks for an entertaining Sunday morning.
E-Tom,
I think “All things in Time” is the name of Lou’s LP, but the “Time” song on that album is post (I think). So here’s one from me to you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2unborI77vQ
loved the movie and your clip ♥
Sunshine,
Once I saw the Hans Zimmer video, I knew I had to use it.
