“Suddenly it’s too late”: a line from “Time Song,” a previously unreleased Kinks song, no doubt written by Ray Davies. Backstory here.
As a kid, I had time for just one great group. But as I wrote in a 2016 post, “I’m now convinced that there were three great pop groups in the 1960s: the Beatles, the Beach Boys, and the Kinks.” I wish that I knew what I know now when I was younger.
Ray, Dave, Mick, it’s not too late to get the band back together.
Then again, it is, really. A reunion would be a sad shadow of its original.
Thanks, Elaine.

This song, eerily, reflects where my mind has be strolling recently. I hope it isn't too late.
ReplyDeleteI visited Elaine's blog and found Marshall's "Tango in the Time Of War." Another piece suggesting the running out of time. It was an interesting sound painting, which I will return to later today.
Time...our finite riddle of infinity.
When I hit the line about sailing into sunsets, I smiled, and then I thought, Hey, wait a minute.
