Time in a Bottle by Jim Croce. It’s a song about losing the love of your life and having to keep living. The enormous loss conveyed is soul crushing.
"If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I’d like to do
Is to save every day
'Til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you
If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I’d save every day like a treasure and then
Again, I would spend them with you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I’ve looked around enough to know
That you’re the one I want to go
Through time with
If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I’ve looked around enough to know
That you’re the one I want to go
Through time with"
Hate Me by Blue October
Cannot.
I figured people might bring up specific songs in the comments. I don’t necessarily expect anyone to have the same experience with particular songs, but I personally don’t think I can ever again listen to “Flirted With You All My Life” by Vic Chesnutt without serious consequences.
Never heard cognitohazard before, talk about a clunky neologism. By the way, have you heard of my band, Clunky Neologism? We’re not very good.
The SCP Wiki uses that word a lot. I’m not sure if they invented it but they definitely helped spread it.
Yeah I looked it up, that’s why I called it a neologism. And it’s clunky as hell.
I am now accepting applications for a less clunky variant of this neologism. It needs to maintain the self-important weight of jargon developed in a government lab, but feels graceful and luxurious when spoken aloud.
I’ve never paid attention to SCP stuff, but it seems like a perfectly cromulent word.
Oh hell yeah I love bands that aren’t very good. Love em so much ive even been in a few.
Yeah. Parting Glass will ruin me for quite a while.
