Didn’t get to chime in until I got home from work and now the horse is beaten to death. I took the question to be regarding songs ABOUT time, not just songs with the word “time” in the title, which includes many on that long list that was posted that have time in the title but aren’t about time at all.
Beatles song about time? How about “When I’m 64?”
While I immediately though of ones mentioned ad nauseam including Pink Floyd, Chambers Brothers, Jim Croce, Stones, Steve Miller, Dylan, etc. there are a few I didn’t see. Just off the top of my head, I’m sure I’m forgetting some good ones:
100 years – Five for Fighting
Cat’s in the Cradle – Harry Chapin
Last to Leave – Arlo Guthrie
Turpentine – Brandi Carlile
Only Time – Enya
Leaves That Are Green – Simon & Garfunkel -
I like the Bee Gees very much, but wouldn’t say I’m a huge fan or anything. I’m definitely not a country fan. However, I do enjoy hearing songs (especially iconic ones) redone in a totally different interpretation. My favorite version of “To Love Somebody” is probably the Animals, but it’s been covered by so many, including Hank Williams Jr.

Yeah, I know, thanks Jacki. If it were a question of not being able to see it at all I would mysteriously wake up with COVID symptoms that morning and have to stay home. But still, it’s not the same missing all the online participation. And it’s going to make the last few hours of work go reeeeaaaalllllllyyyyy sssllllooooooowwwwllllyyyyyy…. knowing that it will be waiting for me at home after I get done! lol

OMG Johnny, that’s awesome! LOL. Unfortunately, they’re already giving us the 24th as a bonus paid holiday to make up for COVID cancelling our Christmas party, so this isn’t too likely to work. But I may try to sneak a peak when no one is looking.
