RockStar:60 #19 “Time Waits For No One”
I recently discovered the undiscovered gem, “Time Waits for No One” from the Rolling Stones 1974 It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll album while listening to The Deep End Radio Show with Nick Michaels.
This moody tune has a great arrangement, great musicianship, and a great overall feel that’s haunting and inspiring at the same time. It’s a brilliant piece with exceptional guitar work by the vastly underrated Mick Taylor. I’ve heard it called ‘the best Stones song nobody ever talks about.’
Arguably better than the music is the tune’s bittersweet message. Time’s a vapor; it moves quickly. We have to move with it because it won’t wait. It’s called change. Time is everyone’s most valuable commodity that cannot be recovered once spent.
“Time can tear down a building or destroy a woman’s face | Hours are like diamonds, don’t let them waste” ~ Rolling Stones
The hours are ours individually. Spend them wisely.
