Are there any songs that reference time travel?

[Askia]

Or mention, y’know, travelling through time, or revisiting one’s past or seeing into the future or time machines or finding one’s true love or… anything like that

Offhand I can’t think of any off-hand, but that’s why I ask the Dope. Lurrrve the Dope.

[Bosda_Di_Chi_of_Tricor]

Cher’s If I Could Turn Back Time.

[Zebra]

In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survie
they may find…

Dunt dunt dunt dunt

[Clothahump]

Yesterday.

Time Warp

[astro]

It’s About Time, It’s About Space,

About Strange People In The Strangest Place.
It’s About Time,
It’s About Flight,
Travelin’ Faster Than The Speed Of Light.
About Space People And A Brave Crew,
As Through The Barrier Of Time They Flew.
Past The Roman Senators,
Past An Armored Knight,
Past The Firing Minutemen,
To This Modern Site.
It’s About Time For You And Me
To Meet These People Of Amazing Feats.
It’s About Two Astronauts And How They Educate
A Pre-Historic Woman And Her Pre-Historic Mate.

Huey Lewis and the News “Back in Time”

[Zabali_Clawbane]

Fly Like an Eagle by The Steve Miller Band mentions traveling into the future, and the fact that “time keeps on slippin’ into the future”. Seal also did a cover of this song.

Uriah Heep
Traveler In Time

[Hunter_Hawk]

The first half of the Hawkwind song “Spirit of the Age”. Hawkwind being…well…Hawkwind, there’s probably a few dozen other songs they did that reference time travel, but none are coming to mind right now.

Stonehenge

[M.Meursault]

Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man”

“Time in a Bottle,” by Harry Chapin:

If I could save time in a bottle,
The first thing that I’d like to do
Is to save every day until eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you.

And so on. Beautiful song. (Rest of the lyrics are here.)

[Exapno_Mapcase]

Bob Welch’s “Future Games” with Fleetwood Mac.

Queen’s '39 is about the time dilation effect, and describes a type of time travel forward in time very movingly.

[El_Perro_Fumando]

What Would Brian Boitano do?

When Brian Boitano travelled through time
To the year 3010,
He fought the evil robot king
And saved the human race again

Aw man, beat me to it. One of my very favorite Queen songs; a futuristic folk song.

[

Don’t you hear my call
Though you’re many years away
Don’t you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I’ll take your hand
In the land that our grand-children knew

Took me a few listens, then I was like, “Hey wait a minute–he’s singing about his grandchildren in the past tense, not his grandparents. He’s talking about returning to earth long after his grandchildren have grown old and died.”

(It’s a beautiful lyric; click on the link if you’re not afraid of popups.)

Looked in this thread just to see if someone had mentioned it. It’s one of my favorites, and I usually get all misty listening too it. blush
