Favorite "Time" Songs #8 - "Time"

Tweet

I realize this particular "time" song might very well rank much higher with a lot of people, but it feels comfortable right here at #8 in my Favorite "Time" Songs series: Pink Floyd's classic, "Time." Pink Floyd formed in London in 1968. The band is legendary: members of the Hit Parade, UK Music, and Rock and Roll Halls of Fame, they have, according to Wikipedia, sold over 250 million records worldwide. (Fun Common Knowledge Fact: Pink Floyd helped finance the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail.) From the 1973 album The Dark Side of the Moon, "Time" is a classic song that, despite never having been released as a single, still receives the occasional spin on Classic Rock Radio. It is an integral part of Pink Floyd's catalog, and instantly recognizable due to it's opening, which features a bunch of clocks. (Fun Wikipedia Fact: Those clocks weren't meant for the album. Engineer Alan Parsons recorded them as a test.) "Time" was featured in a Pink Floyd themed episode of the TV show Cold Case, and was used, according to Wikipedia, in a Cantonese rerelease of Bruce Lee's movie The Big Boss.
