songs that mention watches

[PurpleFencepost]

ok so i was listening to the radio earlier and heard like three songs in a row that mentioned time or watches and it got me thinking... why is time such a big theme in music? like sure its universal and all but its not like anyone is actually listening to the lyrics about it right? or maybe they are and im just not paying attention. anyway i feel like analog watches get a bad rep in modern stuff cause everyone assumes youre either a hipster or old if you wear one but honestly theyre just better like sure your phone tells time too but its not the same vibe. also it feels weird that so many songs lean on metaphors about time running out or ticking clocks when half the time (ha) its just filler lyrics. ngl idk maybe im overthinking it but next time you hear a song about time just think about how many people are actually wearing a watch while they listen probably not many...

watches in songs? tbh yeah, 'sync' by tycho mentions timepieces but its more vibe than lyrics. analog watches are niche now but theyre not about being a hipster—theyre about *craft*. quartz is practical but theres something about winding a movement or seeing a mechanical chronograph thats just... satisfying also, they age better than smartwatches.
