Well folks, we're nearing the end. Not long now until the final entry on February 19th, 2025. The last major theme to close us out revolves around the Passing of Time. If the first few months of this project were tough, they're actually a cakewalk compared to what we're about to go through. We're getting old and life perspectives are changing as they should - AKA we're closer to dying than when we were born. Some of these songs represent the heaviest weights that we've carried since knowing them. Some are as recent as 2023 and 2024, but I know in my heart of hearts that even if they came out in 1989 they would have made this list - they are that profound to me.
So if you're an artist that made this project from here on out you should feel humble and proud...you achieved what you set out to do...make music that people feel and love...thank you.
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
For this one I'm just gonna let the lyrics above speak for themselves.
Larry’s Perspective:
Honestly, everyone should know this 1972 sappy time love song...
But I'd be remiss if I didn't mention all the other Jim Croce songs I grew up listening to in my parents station wagon on AM radio (Here Comes the Flood):
You Don't Mess Around with Jim
Bad, Bad Leroy Brown
I Got a Name
I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song
He perished in a place crash on September 20th, 1973 at the age of 30. His music career was maybe seven years, but these songs are so well written and performed that they've left a lasting mark on my life.
Time in a Bottle
Jim Croce
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
If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure, and then
Again, I would spend them with you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go through time with
If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory of how they were answered by you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go through time with
