	The Story of "Grandfather's Clock"
		Before Henry Clay Work named the tall standing clock in his song Grandfather's Clock, those types of clocks were known as case clocks, coffin clocks, standing clocks, upright clock, long clocks, etc. It was only after the tune was written that they became known as Grandfather Clocks.
		The Kingston Trio borrowed the tune by Work and added a melodic bridge in a further re-working of the original idea of "The Ship That Never Returned" which was called "The MTA Song." This song tells the story of Charley who rides a non-stop subway and just keeps on going round and round the system.
		Among his tunes are "Marching Through Georgia" and the nineteenth century hit, "The Ship That Never Returned." This tune inspired a re-working of the lyrics in "The Train That Never Returned," which inspired the tune "The Wreck of the Old '97." "The Wreck of the Old '97" is ever popular among fiddlers.

	BlamoNet.com - CD Music Reviews - Coldplay : Clocks
		"Clocks," which I am sure you've heard on the radio a billion times, is the main song, and followed by it is "Crests Of Waves" and "Animals." "Crests Of Waves" is a signature Coldplay song.
		"Clocks" the song itself is to die for, and so are the other songs, "Crests Of Waves," and "Animals," which were previously unreleased.
		"Animals" is one of Coldplay fans favourite songs live, and I remember hearing it was going to be on the "Clocks" single and being extatic.

	Wings Of Desire - Music: Low
		The instruments, the voices in the songs are clear and well defined, lonely as those people staring clocks; the whole vision is perfect, eleven songs, eleven little distributors of emotions.
		The results of these experiments don't seem to be very positive, actually; the songs appear uncompleted, muffled, finally really stripped bare and deprived of their necessary melodies.
		The first sensible changes are felt in Songs For A Dead Pilot, a mini album including 6 songs directly recorded at Alan and Mimi's house with a simple 8 track recording desk.

	Medialunchbox - Music : Clocks
		I will not discuss the song Clocks, supposing that you have already heard it by now.
		It is just too bad that there are very few of them to have the drama here in the U.S. Their latest, Clocks, taken from the album A Rush Of Blood To The Head, is a melodic, seducing rhythm that is still as fresh as it was released later on down the road.
		In addition to the stellar first track "Clocks" (in a radio edited version here), the b-sides and live tracks make this one a worthwhile purchase.

	The Tears - Refugees - Video Streams
		‘Refugees’ is a an epic in miniature, which clocks in at no more than two minutes and fifty-four seconds, and thereby requires that the stylus be returned immediately to the start.
		Beginning with colossal, thunderous drums, ‘Refugees’ bursts from the speakers like the heavens opening; a wall of scything, trebly guitars from the country’s most-missed guitar hero, soon joined by the unmistakable tones of one of its most original and distinctive vocalists.
		Its sentiment may or may not be to do with society’s reaction to the supposed “flood” of refugees, or, more accurately its mute gullibility in terms of the exaggerated media portrayal of the asylum seeker ‘problem’.

	Shrine of the Unsung Musicians
		Then there are a few songs that make you think a bit, willie and the pigman and the ballad of the night the clocks all quit (and the government failed), for instance.
		Ding Dong is of course the song the Munchkins sing upon the death of the Wicked Witch of the East.
		There are great songs on the first album, with those sly classic Tonio K. touches, eg the rhythm track slowly turning into the sound of a washing machine as american love affair develops.

	Theatre Mirror Reviews - "Torch Song Trilogy"
		The Footlight Club's "Torch Song" is, in kind terms, a disaster of a production (second only to the sinking of the Titanic) that unacceptably clocks in just shy of four hours.
		In a nutshell, "Torch Song" is a combination of three one act plays with an overlapping story that documents the life of drag queen, Arnold Beckoff (Ryan C. Pothier) and his on again/off again relationship with Ed Reiss (Joshua M. Kehrberg), a bisexual schoolteacher.
		Harvey Fierstein's "Torch Song Trilogy" won a Tony award for best play in 1983 as well as a Drama Desk, so the Footlight Club can't blame this inadequate production on a weak script or flawed dramatic material.

	Starfire's Tori Amos Page!
		This non-stop mix clocks in at 59:18, the song versions are listed most-to-least-used, and some tracks feature interview soundbites from “Tea with the Waitress.”
		This is a very unique CD with some unique mixes of Tori's songs.
		Here's the description from the auction where I won the CD: Two to five versions of each song have been blended together to create all new-sounding tracks (even the "Big Picture" was sliced-n-diced and given some heavy beats)!

		A live rendition of the song "Betterman" clocks in at almost 13 minutes, suggesting the band tends to jam when it plays live, which is really too bad since these songs work best when they're concise.
		Led by dread-locked singer-guitarist John Butler, the group sounds most like Ben Harper, especially on the lap steel-driven "Treat Yo Mama" and the disc's best track, the catchy "Somethings Gotta Give."
		This Australian band makes an uneven stateside debut with this bluesy EP.

		The first being is that Noel said that a song he wrote called ''Stop the Clocks'' was the best thing he's written in a while, but it doesn't appear here.
		Noel is writing songs about queuing too long for a pint of milk and Liam is a whirlwind of inspiration and wondrous bull****.
		A song pulled back from over-production; one that sighs rather than shouts.

	All Systems Go!!!
		I've heard their songs 'Talk' and Speed Of Sound' and I must say I was less than impressed with 'Speed Of Sound' sounding like a poor version of their previous hit 'Clocks' looks like Chris Martin hasn't exactly 're-invented the wheel' as he promised!!
		Primarily because Noel has been talking it up, despite it being a song written by Liam, for a while now.Noel grudgingly admitted on Radio 1 that it was 'very,very,vey good' and that the last 30 seconds would 'blow you away'.
		I would struggle to muster the number of songs they had that actually praising their team and their clubs history and tradition on one hand.

		Three or four encounters with “Clocks” and it was obvious that Coldplay had written i) the song that people who hated Coldplay might like; ii) the ultimate Coldplay song; iii) the most remixable rock track in ages.
		Christina’s writing teams have obviously realised that she is going to do that voice thing on every song she ever does, as much as she likes, because she is a diva and this is what divas do.
		And what she wants to say in the only easily comprehensible part of the song completely ignores the thrust of the rest of the, admittedly great, pop song.

	Grandfather's Clock
		Folklore has it that, until this song was published, floor clocks were just "floor clocks" or "tall clocks." Since then, they have been known as "Grandfather clocks." This strikes me as more reasonable than many folk derivations, but I cannot verify this from any of my linguistic sources.
		One of the songs Work turned in was "Grandfather's Clock," which had been gathering dust in his files for some years.
		The song sold some 800,000 copies, and earned Work about $4,000 in royalties (at that time, easily enough to retire on).

		The bonus tracks found on Thick As A Brick include a live performance of the record/song, a rather restrained version of the song in that it clocks in at just under twelve minutes - restrained, especially since the band was infamous for opening shows with an hour-plus rendition of the song.
		The tempo rises quickly as the song nears its end, the final climax, before the music goes quite and we return to the same acoustic guitar and vocal pattern that began the record, singing one of the same lines.
		Thick As A Brick is an absolutely stunning album that is almost awe-inspiring in it’s construction and delivery.

	History - The Grandfather Clock Story
		From then on the clocks were variously called longcase clocks, floor clocks, and even coffin clocks because they resembled the shape and size of the simple wooden coffins of that time.
		Clocksmiths were called in, but they couldn’t figure out how to fix the clock, so it just kept losing time until the day the surviving brother died at the age of ninety—that’s when the clock suddenly stopped.
		The song was an immediate hit and from that time on, the longcase clock has been known as the grandfather clock.
