Here Comes the Sun

George Harrison

Dude didn't want to go to a business meeting, so he went to Eric Clapton's house in the country instead and wrote this song in like 16 minutes.

Greatest Song Ever

Way too many to choose from


I do love how Marshall Tucker brought the flute into their music.


I don’t know this for a fact


But I think there is a lot of Irish folk music influences in country, western, and Southern rock.

Hence the flutes, and “fiddles”

I'll raise your APP Time with the GOAT Time by Pink Floyd. Most people with mysic knowledge know this but for those who dont ; Alana Parson was the engineer for Dark Side if the Moon and composed the clock ringing intro to PFs "Time"


."Time"

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away, across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spell

For those who were children during the Era of Charlie Brown TV holiday specials this song had meaning

C Brown by WSP 10-20-98




C Brown wakes from bed
Brushes his teeth and he combs his head for school
Out the door and down the street
Down to the corner and a bus and some friends that he's supposed to meet
But there, not to his surprise
His friends have gone and they've told C a lie
But you can walk on with me
You don't even need to say a word
You don't have to worry about the others
I C (see) him and he runs up fast
Kicks at the air his friends watch him fall and then laugh
Charlie really likes his friends
But in his heart he knows that sometimes a dog is as good as any man
Trying to do as we should
That doesn't always rhyme with doing what feels good
But you can sit in the grass; it feels good
You don't even need to think a word
You don't have to worry, don't worry
Charlie there is drawing a gun
Right there in the square he's sketched Lucy on the run
Aims his eye, cocks his head
In a cloud of dust, dear old Lucy's gone
Charlie's only trying the golden rule
Draw unto others as they have been drawn to you
And you can walk on home with me
You don't even need to think a word
You don't have to worry..

One of the The Song of Songs - written long before the common era (BCE)

Whomever wrote these eight jewels would likely be laughing at these paltry replies. And probably shocked at the trivial lyrics of most. It's an whole album worth of multi-level double entendre which will be remembered long after these entries are forgotten.
