Luckily for our readers, \u201cDaylight Savings\u201d is both the perfect track for time-change listening and the perfect introduction to one of alternative hip-hop\u2019s most interesting voices. The dreamy haze of Mavi\u2019s beats provides a distinctly modern backdrop for a flow that recalls the effortless, unrelenting delivery of older artists like Nas and MF DOOM. What more could you ask for?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTime\u201d by Richard Hell and the Voidoids<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s always the right time to listen to Richard Hell and the Voidoids, but Daylight Savings Time is the perfect time for \u201cTime.\u201d Offering as much lyrical sophistication as unbridled punk energy, the song was once praised as \u2018rock poetry at its best\u2019 \u2014 by none other than the New York Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c(Such A) Trip Thru Time\u201d by Rog\u00e9r Fakhr<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Looking for a folk soundtrack for your fall-weather walks between classes? Nauseated by the sound of Bob Dylan\u2019s voice after watching A Complete Unknown? Lebanese folk-funk icon Rog\u00e9r Fakhr is here to help. This song is his most obviously time-related, but you won\u2019t regret listening to the rest of Fine Anyway (Habibi Funk 16) if you get the chance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-text-annotation is-style-text-annotation--2 wp-block-paragraph\">Hope<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTwilight\u201d by Elliott Smith<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Possibly the hardest listen from Smith\u2019s whole discography. The feeling of things ending and beginning, all at once, imperfectly, on top of each other, and damned inconvenient.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Summer Ends\u201d by American Football<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe a bit literal for the Daylight Saving theme but summer has ended! There is no going back, only forward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-text-annotation is-style-text-annotation--3 wp-block-paragraph\">Maddy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c2:45 AM\u201d by Elliot Smith<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Stripped down, somber, and somehow nostalgic, 2:45 AM catches you up in itself like a dream might, which makes sense, because that\u2019s kind of what it\u2019s about. Though the lyrics don\u2019t exactly reflect a peaceful dream state, there\u2019s something soothing about it all the same, especially when listened to late into the night while romanticizing one\u2019s life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c7:30 AM\u201d by Slothrust<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Best known for their cover of The Turtles\u2019 mega-hit, Slothrust still has its own glories, and 7:30 AM is a prime example. With on-and-off portions of rapid guitar work and building, direct vocals, the short track delivers a punch \u2013 as an early morning wake-up might. Best listened to when raging about something unspecific and existential.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-text-annotation is-style-text-annotation--4 wp-block-paragraph\">Anna<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c5:15\u201d by Chris Isaak<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c5:15 is just a train.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Apparently not, considering the extent to which 5:15 o\u2019clock insights Chris Isaak\u2019s mourning of his lost love. Quite melodramatic, as per usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOnce I Was\u201d by Tim Buckley<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Once, but no longer. Another lament of love lost to time\u2019s cruelty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTime (You and I)\u201d by Khruangbin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">An appreciation of both love and change. Not mournful, but optimistic about the joy that can be found through the passage of time. \u201cThat\u2019s life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-text-annotation is-style-text-annotation--5 wp-block-paragraph\">Melissa<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c12:51\u201d by The Strokes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">I know this song is about 12:51am but I feel very strongly that this is a Mid Day Song. This should be listened to at 12:51 in the afternoon and not a minute later &#8211; it\u2019s the perfect lunchtime-pick-me-up kind of song.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTime (Clock of the Heart)\u201d by Culture Club<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Boy George dancing in a clock tower. Boy George singing the word \u201ctime\u201d in 44 separate instances. Boy George in general. Need I say more?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-text-annotation is-style-text-annotation--6 wp-block-paragraph\">Neria<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn Time\u201d by Sly &amp; The Family Stone<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">I was obsessed with this song (and album) in high school. I still haven\u2019t put meaning to the lyrics, but as Sly so eloquently puts it, \u201cIn time, (in time) feel a little newer.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI Can See the Sun in Late December\u201d by Roberta Flack<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Oooooweee nothing like a 12 minute song to get you thinking about time. This whole song is pretty striking\u2026the lyrics, the melody, the bridge. Simply put, Roberta Flack.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-text-annotation is-style-text-annotation--7 wp-block-paragraph\">Oona<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m Still Waiting\u201d by Bob Marley &amp; The Wailers<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">I think \u201cstill\u201d is an important measure of time for me. Often I don&#8217;t know where I am in time or where time is but I know a little of what feels familiar.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOnce In A While\u201d by Aretha Franklin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">How long is a while?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-text-annotation is-style-text-annotation--8 wp-block-paragraph\">Kate<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cReelin\u2019 In The Years\u201d by Steely Dan<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">This song uses a lot of time terminology to describe a past relationship. Unrelated, the guitar is really, really good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRunning Out Of Time\u201d by Paramore<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRunning Out Of Time\u201d is about, unsurprisingly, the narrator constantly running out of time. Furthermore, they worry that they seem like a jerk since they\u2019ll be seen for their actions rather than their intentions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKilling Time\u201d by Magdalena Bay<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">I feel like somebody had to add this song, considering the album\u2019s popularity and the obvious reference to time in the title. The song features a narrator lamenting the passage of time and waiting for a purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-text-annotation is-style-text-annotation--9 wp-block-paragraph\">Dani<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou got time and I got money\u201d by Smerz<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Not really about time\u2026 but it has it in the title. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIncomprehensible\u201d by Big Thief<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c&#8221;I&#8217;m afraid of getting older, &#8221; that&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve learned to say \/ Society has given me the words to think that way\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Growing old doesn\u2019t have to be scary! Time isn\u2019t scary! \u201cHow can beauty that is livin&#8217; be anything but true?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis Time Around\u201d by Jessica Pratt<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis time around has it gone so grey that my faith can\u2019t hold out?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Time doesn\u2019t always heal, sometimes it just makes the picture sharper. If you ever need a song to cry to at 3am\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWednesday Morning, 3 A.M.\u201d by Simon &amp; Garfunkel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Because nothing good ever happens at 3 am.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In honor of the world&#8217;s finest holiday, when we change the time for no real reason, here are some songs to get you through the next months of early sunsets and late sunrises.
