> [@John\_DiFool](#): > > Technically tho it is called “Sunset-Twilight Time” so belongs in the “S’s” I’d reckon. It’s confusing, because _Days of Future Passed_ has more than one song sharing the same track of the LP. Track 2 of side 2 is called “Evening” and consists of two separate songs: “The Sunset” and “Twilight Time.” Meanwhile, “Tuesday Afternoon” may or may not qualify as a T song. It was apparently [released as a single under that title](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuesday_Afternoon), but on the LP its title is “Forever Afternoon (Tuesday?)” and it shares the track “The Afternoon” with “(Evening) Time To Get Away.” > **[Days of Future Passed | Track listing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Days_of_Future_Passed#Track_listing)** > > All compositions originally credited to "Redwave-Knight", except "Dawn Is a Feeling", "Forever Afternoon (Tuesday)", "The Sunset" and "Nights in White Satin". ('Redwave' is an alias of Justin Hayward.) ---

There’s a fairly well-known jazz standard by that title. Perhaps it’s the same song. ---

> [@Gyrate](#): > > That Smell – Lynyrd Skynyrd Fellow Jacksonvillians would almost certainly know about the paper mill smell in the Northside. For the uninitiated, imagine 1,001 horribly flatulent people expelling all at once after ingesting 5 nuclear burritos each, so when I 1st heard the song many years ago I assumed that was the spark for the song. While Wikipedia has nothing on my hunch here, it does say that a car crash involving a band member was a partial inspiration-happened about 5 miles or so from my family’s old house in the far south of the county. ---

I just noticed that my nomination for the alternate, second thread contained a typo. Of course it’s “TVC 15” by David Bowie. It changes nothing, that song won’t win anything anyway, but my nitpicking soul couldn’t let it stand. ---

It’s a little disappointing because the Seekers song is a wonderful pop confection. But as @Moonrise pointed out, _There Will Never Be Another You_ is a jazz standard. I wasn’t familiar with it, but there are Youtube versions by Ella Fitzgerald, Chet Baker, Sinatra, Vaughn, Nat Cole, and many more. ---

“Tracks of My Tears,” closely followed by “Think,” are highly-rated enough in the world-famous **Ponch8 Music Rating System** to earn votes here. “Time After Time” is dead-ass last. ---

I believe it’s been cemented into everyone’s brain via the wonderful scene in **Blues Brothers**. Before watching that film I didn’t think of the song too often, compared to some other Aretha tunes. But, now it seems as good or better than any competitors. (Well, except maybe _Natural Woman_ which got a huge push from Franklin’s live version at the Carole King tribute night.) ---

> [@Baal\_Houtham](#): > > I believe it’s been cemented into everyone’s brain via the wonderful scene in **Blues Brothers**. The version Franklin recorded for that film is light years ahead of the 1968 record, especially the horns and backup vocals. That scene from _The Blues Brothers_ is entirely responsible for that song’s success in the polls. ---

> [@Elmer\_J.Fudd](#): > > That scene from _The Blues Brothers_ is entirely responsible for that song’s success in the polls. Well to nitpick, not entirely. I voted for it with the original version in mind, and though I think the Blues Brothers version is fine, I don’t find it exceptional or better. ---

She sings it in the scene where Jake and Elwood head to the soul-food restaurant where two of their former band members, Matt “Guitar” Murphy and “Blue Lou” Marini, are working (and where Jake orders “four fried chickens and a Coke”). Aretha plays Matt’s wife, and she sings the song to warn Matt about the consequences of leaving her to rejoin his “white hoodlum friends.” And, yeah, it’s a great song. 😃 ---
