Those are dad rock now? I grew up with many of those... I'm a dad now but I thought dad rock is Metallica, ACDC, Led Zeppelin, Hurriganes, et cetera

The unstoppable, never ending march of time is much darker than anyone could sing about.

Pink Floyd did it:

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day

You fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way

Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town

Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain

And you are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you

No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking

Racing around to come up behind you again

Sun is the same, in a relative way, but you're older

Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time

Plans that either come to naught, or half a page of scribbled lines

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way

The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

My favorite Pink Floyd song.

[-] savedbythezsh@sh.itjust.works 12 points 10 months ago

Satisfies both the unstoppable, never ending march of time AND dad rock: Time by Pink Floyd

[-] nehal3m@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago

Yeah agreed, although I would consider Pink Floyd grandpa rock at this point

Okay grampa let's get you to bed

[-] XTL@sopuli.xyz 14 points 10 months ago

I think that's the joke.

[-] CallMeButtLove@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Same. I'm a huge In Flames fan and having a slight panic after reading that.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

I saw them open for… Unearth I believe? I had never heard In Flames before that show. LOVED them.

[-] not_woody_shaw@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Dire Straits, Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, Queen...
