Time Passages - Al Stewart - MP3 instrumental karaoke

On his '70s soft-rock hit "Time Passages," Al Stewart first finds himself in reflective, nostalgic mode ("It was late in December, the sky turned to snow / All round the day was goin' down slow / Night like a river beginning to flow / I felt the beat of my mind go / Drifting into time passages") but soon comes to the realisation that he's 'not the kind to live in the past.' "The years run too short and the days too fast / The things you lean on, are the things that don't last," he sings in the second verse, philosophizing about the ephemerality of life. "Time Passages," which was produced by Alan Parsons and was the title track of Al Stewart's 1978 album – the follow-up to his 1976 LP Year of the Cat – reached Number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in December that year and also soared to the top of the Billboard Adult Contemporary charts where it stuck around for 10 weeks.
