"Songs about "time""


          

So I'm on an e-mail chain with a bunch of buddies called "Jam of the week". We all naturally have differing musical tastes and each week someone's in charge of collecting the songs, finding a venue to listen to them online, and sending the e-mail out on Friday. Most weeks, the leader comes up with some sort of theme for the week, recent examples being "guilty pleasure jams," "tragic jams," and "jams from a show you recently attended."

Anyway, this week's theme is "time." Very generic, very basic. I have a couple ideas in mind but I don't think they really encompass the theme totally. Mine are Slick Rick's "Memories," Common's "Time Travelin'," and The Roots "Long Time," the first being more a childhood reminiscing track and the latter two just having "time" in the title and not really pertaining to "time" itself, at all.

So ... I'm looking for some assistance. I'm hoping to be reminded of a track about "time" that I'm just not thinking of off the top of my head (or through iTunes "time" search) that will have me on some "that's the one I was looking for" shit...I'm not gonna pick a track I didn't know previously to submit, but any recommendations that I haven't heard I will listen to and maybe it'll open the door to new music for me which is good, too. Kill two birds with one stone with this post.

So yea any assistance is appreciated. Feel free to just tell me a song and post up a link, or talk about it if you want. Just looking for ideas. Thanks

One kid on this e-mail chain is a huge proponent of live music and more often than not posts like, 15 minute live sets from certain bands so...I wouldn't feel bad. Haha.

Mos Def's verse from "Hurricane" deals with time. One of my favorite Mos Def verses.

It's A Dream - Neil Young (this is one of my favorite songs of his...very surreal sounding)

Time - AZ, Nas, and Nature

Hurricane - The Roots, Common, Mos Def, Dice Raw...I actually have a version with just Thought, Com, and Mos because their verses were ridiculous but it was Mos that stole the show to me. One of my favorite verses ever. Always wanted mesh this verse with Nas' verse from Last Words. That would be the absolute best lyrical hip-hop song of all-times and shit.

and maybe this one.
"run, nigger"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPB33m8lTdY

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE:

"run, nigger! 'cause time is running.
run like time...
never yielding or forgiving.
moving forward.
in a direct pattern of progressive movement.
never warning or relinquishing.

time is running, running running running runningrunning running running,

time done run OUT!

That Dark Side of the Moon couldn't be used, since we've all heard it a trillion times. I forgot to mention that in my OP.

Otherwise, great list. Thank you.

haha, I double-checked because it seemed too obvious & didn't see anything in the OP or elsewhere.

>Otherwise, great list. Thank you.

Much obliged, thank you as well since it got my brain going early in the AM & gave me a few songs to go back to myself.
