Time
The story behind the song
"Time" captures the poignant feeling of letting go, as if watching life's moments flow away like a river toward the sea. It speaks to a farewell, perhaps to a loved one or to a phase of life, with the quiet acceptance that the stars await. This track from The Alan Parsons Project's 1980 album The Turn of a Friendly Card is notable for featuring Eric Woolfson on lead vocals, a role Alan Parsons initially resisted but later praised for its emotional depth and range. Playing it, you feel the gentle push and pull of memory and the vastness of what lies beyond.
