When Keith Richards was born cells were produced by a division of DNA (i.e. deoxyribonucleic acid), not a division of Samsung. The Ottoman Empire wasn't yet a chain of furniture stores. Not only were the Virgin Islands British but some still had virgins on them!
In 2005 this Rolling Stones hit song from their 1973 Goats Head Soup album was used on Angela Merkel's campaign.
Feel free to try your hand at captioning her historic "WTF?" moment with Douche à l'Orange:
Angela, checking for lobotomy scars.
Lyrics:
Angie, Angie When will those dark clouds all disappear
Angie, Angie Where will it lead us from here With no lovin' in our souls And no money in our coats You can't say we're satisfied Angie, Angie You can't say we never tried Angie, you're beautiful But ain't it time we say goodbye Angie, I still love you Remember all those nights we cried All the dreams were held so close
Seemed to all go up in smoke Let me whisper in your ear Angie, Angie Where will it lead us from here
Oh, Angie, don't you wish Oh your kisses still taste sweet I hate that sadness in your eyes But Angie Angie Ain't it time we said goodbye With no lovin' in our souls And no money in our coats You can't say we're satisfied Angie, I still love you baby Everywhere I look I see your eyes There ain't a woman that comes close to you Come on baby dry your eyes Angie, Angie ain't good to be alive Angie, Angie, we can't say we never tried
Cindi Lauper's hit song, "Time After Time", co-written with Rob Hyman and released on January 27th of 1984, got its name from reading a television guide description of a 1979 sci-fi movie by that name. (The film starred Malcolm McDowell, fresh from "Caligula", David Warner and Mary Steenburgen. It was about time-tracking a "Jack the Ripper" character.)
The melody has a somewhat demanding 13 note range. It was the last one written for her debut album because of the inspiration for the line "the second hand unwinds": discovering while recording the song that the producer's wristwatch was broken. In essence, the song reinvented itself on the fly.
Eva Cassidy's memorable cover is from the Blues Alley jazz supper club in Georgetown, DC, on the 3rd January 1996, ten months before her death.
Lyrics:
Songwriter Cindi Lauper.
Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick, And think of you Caught up in circles Confusion is nothing new Flashback, warm nights Almost left behind Suitcases of memories, Time after Sometimes you picture me I'm walking too far ahead You're calling to me, I can't hear What you've said Then you say, go slow I fall behind The second hand unwinds If you're lost you can look and you will find me Time after time If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting Time after time If you're lost you can look and you will find me Time after time If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting Time after time After my picture fades and darkness has Turned to gray Watching through windows You're wondering if I'm okay Secrets stolen from deep inside The drum beats out of time
Co-author Rob Hyman.
If you're lost you can look and you will find me Time after time If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting Time after time You said go slow I fall behind The second hand unwinds If you're lost you can look and you will find me Time after time If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting Time after time If you're lost you can look and you will find me Time after time If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting Time after time Time after time Time after time Time after time Time after time Time after time Time after time Time after Time
Time is motion. If frozen at the molecular level, like Han Solo in carbonite, we will reanimate the same age as when we entered stasis. If all activity were ceased everywhere, no time will have passed. As for Trump's "hold-my-beer" "presidency", let us take today to remind ourselves that this, too, shall pass (though not soon enough!).
