On That Note: Second, Minute or Hour

[cyclones500]

Happy new year, from the “On That Note” crew!

Our first topic of 2024 ... Thought of this during the ball-drop countdown: Songs with titles or lyrics that mention a demarcation/measure of time — as thread title suggests — second, minute, hour.

NOT ACCEPTED on its own: specific time of day; ordinal use of “second.”

On That Note is presented each week on Cyclone Fanatic by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500.

• Last week’s OTN: Point of (K)no(w) Return

Here's a track to get us ticking.

“Your finest hour.”

And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me

 

[pourcyne]

I'm gonna wait till the midnight hour

 

[MeanDean]

 

[CtownCyclone]

25 or 6 to 4, Chicago

Ok, so reread, if that's too specific of a time, how about Someone Around Midnight.

 

[pourcyne]

You're the light in my deepest, darkest hour

"Each year is a minute, only filled with the leaves in it."

And the operator said 40 cents more for the next 3 minutes

Living on Tulsa Time. Bonus, the Tulsa airport has a big clock in it that has "Tulsa Time" written above it.

One More Day - Diamond Rio


Half a Minute - Matt Bianco


Five Minutes - Lorrie Morgan

 

[pourcyne]

Every whisper
Of every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions

 

[pourcyne]

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way

 

[pourcyne]

Zero hour, 9 a.m.

 

[pourcyne]

For many hours and days that pass ever soon
The tides have caused the flame to dim
At last the arm is straight, the hand to the loom
Is this to end or just begin?

 

[MeanDean]

Who if He really does exist
Why did He desert me?
In my hour of need
I truly am indeed
Alone again, naturally
