Roger Waters - Time (Official Lyric Video, DSOTM REDUX)

Lyrics

The voice had been there all along - Hidden in the stones in the rivers - Hidden in all the books - Hidden in plain sight - It was the voice - of reason

[TIME] Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day - You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way - Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown - 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 - And 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 - And 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 spells.

The original is perfect, however I appreciate what Roger has done here. For everyone upset, the original still exists, it hasn't disappeared, you can still listen to it.

[DJ_DKBGD]

This version is delivered precisely the way one would expect an 80 year old man would. It was an insightful poem written by a 30 year old but now delivered by a world weary man who has revolved 50 times around the sun since. Outstanding! Bravo Mr. Waters!

[ЕвгенийКонстантинов-це]

Roger, salud! It's the best version! ❤❤❤

[zerdanphunrab]

Majestic. Roger and his music have aged elegantly. Only time will tell if the basement dwellers, critics, and naysayers have the ability to mature as they age.

[medievalwizard]

The Early version with Pink Floyd had the sound of time on it's hands, of youth with a lifetime ahead. This version sounds like it's now at it's graveside and reflecting on how quickly time went by and how life is over. Where the early version had the sound of vibrant youth, this version has the sound of old age at the end of life where a lifetime of regret and missed opportunities meet the grave. It's sound is sad and gripping and a reminder to wake up and live what life you have left.

[bonscott]

How such a young man in 1973 came up with these lyrics is beyond me, only now at 48 does this really start to resonate.

[PaphosLife]

It's like bumping into a dear old friend you haven't seen for years. It is wonderful to see how they have changed in all that time, but also wonderful to be able to still see what originally made you love them in the first place.

Wish i could show it to my dad who showed it to me 45 years ago and we loved it together

[YoungMaker]

The original song makes me cry... This also makes me cry, just in a different way.

[JamesFilbird]

A masterpiece of an already bonafide masterpiece. Time has only made this song ever more precious and poignant than the first time I heard "Time."

[adammorvant]

Cant wait to hear roger sing great gig in the sky lol.
(In Rogers deep tone)
Aaaahhh

[markwarner]

At last some real appreciation being shown by good people who understand and can read behind the lines that they didn't when they were 18 . This man stands as the greatest rock showman of all time with a passion for truth change and opposition to these hall of fools and pathological killer in charge of us all . Forever Roger .

[wrmotta]

Probably the most perfect song ever written. Everybody should listen to it at early age. It is a life lesson that will remain forever in the memory.

[Cards-In-The-Closet]

The part about being young and having time to kill is much more meaningful when I hear it now at almost 60 than it was when I first heard this in high school.

[ΒασιληςΜυρλιδης]

This is what time does. This version lacks the spark of youth, but is characterized by tranquility and wisdom!

[tommypospa]

Having played the original 10, 000 times, I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciate this version.

[PippoCristofori]

I actually love this version... It sound like Time, but with nostalgic tone to it. It's like Roger is talking to his younger self.

[themoroni]

Congratulations (MIKLOS)!!
I did it with my SON are 15 years old in SÃO PAULO - Brazil! Today he is 35 years old and I remember this at all TIME!!! ROGER, you broken and stole my SOUL with this version. Please, ROGER, don't STOP your career you'll live until the 120 years and we too.

[produccionesdebajosrecurso]

Always will prefer the original but hearing this redux with roger being this old is just so nostalgic for real. Music is such a pivotal part of life

[ivanhodoba]

For a man in his late 20s, to write something so simple, yet at the same time so true and deep, it really takes an unrepeatable type of genius...
