      You have a great analysis of this song, one of my all-time favorites, BTW.
      One of the understated things that makes “Time” such an amazing song is the fact that they employ moments of silence so well. Whether it’s the way each note is stoa to in the introduction, to each line in the stanza ending with a pause to process the words before the next line is delivered, and also in the oohs and ahhs of the background choir, to the rests between chords for the guitar and electric piano, it all gives a great sense of space. And this makes the guitar solo even more beautifully frantic as it goes non-stop, as if crying or screaming at the thought that the starting gun was missed and it will take more effort to catch up than it would have to start “on time”.

    This song is brilliant because they composed the music to directly reflect the lyrics. The beginning is shocking (birth), the intro takes forever (childhood), the middle is full of turmoil and chaos (20's-30's), and the end slows down and is very simple (old age). The ending verse about iron bells invokes images of a traditional stone church, probably a funeral.

    • @KevinSchmitt77

      It's interesting how my understanding of this song has evolved as I've aged. Young me always wondered why he sang the line about the song being over so long before the song actually ended. Now I think maybe it's because we start to feel sort of irrelevant years before we actually die. Though we may live another 10 or 20 years, any real chance we might have had to accomplish our dreams is already gone. So our song is over for all practical purposes long before the music actually stops.

    I am surprised you have not delved into Pink Floyd. The music touches your being and the lyrics are incredibly poetic. "Dark Side of the Moon" and "Wish You Were Here" are arguably the best Pink Floyd albums. They are concept albums, essentially meant to be listened to as one whole side at a time. You can listen/react to a single song, but it does not "paint the whole picture". Pink Floyd's lyrics are extremely cerebral, deep in meaning, and often have secondary meanings. Remember this album was released in 1973, essentially making it 50 years old. If you would like recommendations on what to react to I suggest: "Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (Live Pulse 94 concert)" which arguably has one of the best guitar solos in rock history. David Gilmour's guitar performances reach into your soul. and Roger Waters' lyrics often cause you to contemplate the larger picture.

    Incredibly clever review! It's unreal how accurately you described this song on first listen! Even with the ending - the song Time flows seamlessly into the next song The Great Gig in the Sky, which is another real treat - a must hear. But really, every person on the planet should hear the whole of this phenomenal work, which celebrated its 50th anniversary this March. The Dark Side of the Moon is a musical gem and I think it should be required school reading. The lyrics are so incredibly clever and still relevant and are accompanied by fantastically crafted music and sound effects. I've listened to this album a thousand times and I still can't get enough of it, and I still find little things in it that surprise me.
    Take the time to listen to the whole thing, all at once and without a break. Then you will see what a masterpiece it is. And Pink Floyd is guaranteed to enchant you.

    Floyd were lyrical geniuses. They wrote some of the greatest lyrics ever written. They were musical geniuses all-round and intrumental virtuosos too but I know that it's the lyrics that you're drawn to. :) They're the 3rd biggest band in history for very good reason. This album alone has spent a total of almost 1000 weeks on the Billboard Album Chart. That's almost 20 years ! Unsurprisingly, it holds the record for most weeks on the chart... by a mile! They are bona fide greats and their music is just as popular today, as when their music was first released. They still outsell 99.9% of contemporary artists. :)

    Knox, the next track, "Great gig in the sky", follows the 'time' theme through to its ultimate conclusion; death. I really wish that reactors would play them together to get the whole experience.

    I love the last line in the main section of the song. “The time has come, the song is over. Thought I’d something more to say.” on the surface, he’s talking about the song literally being over, but the song is also a metaphor for his life. He’s run out of time, and realized that all of the grand plans he had, and meaning he expected his life would have when he was younger, have not come to fruition.

    Dude, you nailed this (assuming this was a first reaction and you hadn’t done any pre-research). I’ve been listening to Floyd since I was 12, so that’s like 37 years now. It changed my life. I listened to a lot of rap too, still listen to music from every genre. Some messages come through different and I’m always open. But to this day, I have heard no other music that just gets down into the raw inner workings of me like Pink Floyd. I suggest you listen to their three long songs on Animals. You will be blown away.
    Another also- the song that comes after this basically is going through the stages of accepting your death. It is not instrumental, yet there are no words. You will understand when you listen.

But then also, maybe not even remembering what those things were at that moment. This is the greatest rock song ever in my book, it’s like looking through a lens that is always changing, as we are alway changing

    This is a concept, or Thematic, album. Each song is a stand alone, but also related to the one before. The composition, the lyrics, the emotion it invokes. There is a thread that runs through every song that you can only appreciate and understand if you listen to the whole thing beginning to end. It is a whole body experience. The instrumentation and composition of each song gently transitions into the next. This is going to sound silly, but people who know will definitely agree with me. What you need to do is dedicate some time to listen to this whole album. Go into a dark room, put your head phones on, lay down or at least get very comfortable, close your eyes, and play the album. No interruptions. Let yourself get completely immersed in the sound. Let the experience wash over you. Its cathartic and meditative.
