This song makes me feel nostalgic about something I never lived.

[biswajeetpillai]

I was born in '67
The year of Sgt. Pepper
And Are You Experienced
Into a suburban heaven
Yeah, it should've been forever
It all seems to make so much sense
But after a while
You realize time flies
And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you
'Cause time flies
She said "Luck is what you make it
You just reach out and take it
Now let's dance a while"
She said "nothing ever happens
If you don't make it happen
And if you can't laugh and smile"
But after a while
You realize time flies
And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you
'Cause time flies
And laughing in the summer showers
That's still the way I see you now
How does time break down?
With no marker, things slow down
A conference of the strange
And your family is deranged
I could tell you what I'm thinking
While we sit here drinking
But I'm not sure where to start
You see there's something wrong here
I'm sorry if I'm not clear
Can you stop smoking your cigar
But after a while
You realize time flies
And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you
'Cause time flies

I remember hearing this song the first time.
I was lying on the grass during summer, listening to music. It was summer vacation, school was done and soon I started to study. Means changing the living place, new neighborhood, some old friends far away.
And as the song progressed I was sinking into memories of the past. It was one of the first most transcendental music moments for me.

This song cured my depression back in 2015. I was really in a deep deep, bad state. After listening to this song 200+ times, I realized that time...just flies. And the depression lifted off. Much better than any kind of medication, this song.

Hearing this band forever changed the way I listen to music. Thank you, Steven Wilson.

[BenjaminKanarek]

One of the greatest groups on Earth..."Porcupine Tree"

I remember hearing this song and loving the line "the best thing that you can do is take whatever comes to you" and I've tried to live by it. 11 years later and life is pretty different from how it was in 2009, have a family now the business i just started back then is now pretty successful. life is good and i couldn't be happier.

In 2012, after almost eating a lead sandwich and taking a permanent dirt nap, I changed up my life.
Ran a half marathon, and the last ten minutes of the race, I had Time Flies on my playlist. It was a triumph moment

Richard Barbieri just might be my favorite keyboard player of all time. He perfectly serves the song rather than going full 'Keith Emerson' on it. That Barbieri and Edwin support is legendary.

[vepakko]

This song is literally a timeless masterpiece.

[lastdaysguitar]

Stevens been listening to Pink Floyd's "Animals" album again. I can't blame him - I did the same for the intro of my song "Ordinary Man".

[lamecasuelas]

As i grow older this song becomes More and More relevant

[gwynenglishnielsen]

I'm not a huge fan of prog rock, but I like its intelligence and originality. This band is unique in many ways.

[flux]

I was 12 years old when this song released
Now im 52 and i have to say what a life man

[TheGreatConstantini]

It’s hard to imagine I’ve lived this many years without discovering Porcupine tree. It has become a sort of therapy all of a sudden. The songs make you think about difficult things

[mike_lowndes]

I'm one year older than Steven. To say the song resonates is something of an understatement.

[Laurobf]

the most talented musician of the 21st century of progressive rock

[LYRICS]

I was born in '67
The year of Sgt. Pepper
And are you experienced

Into a suburban heaven
Yeah it should've been forever
It all seems to make so much sense

But after a while
You realize time flies
And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you
'Cause time flies

She said luck is what you make it
You just reach out and take it
Now let's dance a while

She said nothing ever happens
If you don't make it happen
And if you can't laugh and smile

But after a while
You realize time flies
And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you
'Cause time flies

And laughing in the summer showers
That's still the way I see you now

How does time break down
With no marker, things slow down.
A conference of the strange
And your family is deranged

I could tell you what I'm thinking
While we sit here drinking
But I'm not sure where to start

You see there's something wrong here
I'm sorry if I'm not clear
Can you stop smoking your cigar

But after a while
You realize time flies
And the best thing that you can do
Is take whatever comes to you
'Cause time flies

And the coat you wore to Alton Towers
Is still the way I see you now
