Shooting from the hip today.
Third and final choice is 45 Hundred Times- Status Quo from the album Hello but would suggest Quo Live at the Apollo Glasgow as a preferred listen...all 16 mins of it.

Had that on my longlist.

You kind of have to really embrace the pace of this one, or it is pointless. It is not a song about time, or moments or seasons etc. But, it does to me invoke 'the feeling' of time. Particularly, of slowing down time. The metronomic guitar, soft vocals, gradual introduction of other instruments all adds to a real ease that it instills (if you let it). It could maybe do with being like 3 minutes shorter, but then that is the thing about time isn't it. It is the closing song of an album and works in that context, but not as much as a standalone song. We have already had Pink Floyd, and there are, to me, faint echoes of that here, in that almost hypnotic wash.

And I see what you did there, nice homage to your first band! ;-)
I think I got that live 16 minute version of Status Quo. I think we have TIME for that.

Gerry Rafferty for me please. The song? Just a beautiful ode about yearning to change and not wasting a single moment.

For my second, and final, offering (under the new 2 songs each limit), I'm going for a long, oddball, unsettling track from a band I've listened to a few times on Spotify but don't know much about.

I thought it was 3 choices, have I yet again failed to read the exam question properly?

Yeah it was 3 we went with. Or up to 3, so less is fine if you don't have 3.

Ok thanks. In which case I will stick with the ultimate one hit wonders for my second one. Apparently the only act to have a number one single on both sides of the atlantic and then to never even trouble the charts again in either of the US or UK.
