Brad gets this. The bells are the start of life, the heart is the beginning, everything else is the journey through life. Ending with the funeral ritual (the tolling of the iron bells) which awaits us all. The softly spoken magic spell is the prayers we say for those gone.

IMHO I don't think it's a funeral just because this line is at the end of the song, neither a moral thing about society, but personally it could be more like when a person has lost everything in his life after years of a nonsense life and now he's on his knees to pray and something magical or some new kind of spiritual feeling happens to him. Something has to change for him. And Home again, when at the end of a personal journey you come back to your heart, to feel where you are feeling cold but better in some way.

One of Pink Floyd's finest compositions, in my view. Lyrics are relatable, profound and tell a great story. Melody and musicianship is top tier PF, and then the background singers provide the "slide" or the "bridges" that pull it all together. Oh, and the incredible guitar work of David. Freakin. Gilmour. Oh, man!! "They took me to church!"

Pink Floyd were so far ahead of their time, They transcended into a higher plane of existence when they created their songs, I've never heard anything quite like them before, simply iconic and hard to replicate. Every Pink Floyd song I listen too makes me feel like I'm having an out of body experience, the music simply takes hold of me.

The future seems so far away, you blink, your future is behind you. Time is so precious.

Once you’ve really listened to Pink Floyd you’re hooked for life, the music just infiltrates your soul. These guys have always been cutting edge in their music and lyrics. Once they tried making an album without using instruments, spent months trying it, it didn’t work but just the tenacity and daring to even attempt, they really are pure musical genius.

The guitar solo in this is one of the greatest of all time. The sound, the feel, the soul...it is truly epic.

That moment she went from bouncing and rocking to closing her eyes, leaning back and swaying was awesome to watch and I remember that feeling the first time Pink Floyd grasped my soul. So happy younger generations are experiencing it too.

Got to be one of if not thee most legendary band in history. Nothing quite like them. They play music that just enters your soul and dances with it. Deep, melodic, meaningful and simply played with such skill and aplomb. And one of the great bands that are even better live. Soul music to steal a term for them. Its just pink floyd music in a genre of their own. I love listening to floyd when I need to feel something that awakens my deeper senses and calms me with melodic guitar excellence. David Gilmorton has to be a top 3 guitar player ever simply for the smooth soulful sound he creates. I love it

So this is Pink Floyd’s other genius quality. The Lyrics. Most of the time after hearing one of their songs I feel like I’ve learned some valuable lessons. Brad is so right. The straightforwardness of these lyrics are at once both easy to understand and also I feel like they imparted some kind of ancient secret truths about our existence at the same time.I never looked at it that closely but now think about this often now that I’m on the back nine of my life.

At about 3:25 Lex: “Maybe that’s what it’s like when you die… TIMES UP! “ Yep, pretty much the whole point of the song and you got it before the first verse was even done.

"Iron bell" is a reference to Edgar Allan Poe's "Bells." Iron bells are funeral bells. This song is about the span of time in a life. Young with everything ahead of you, then not enough time, then years passing faster and faster, and then the "tolling of the iron bell."

It’s important to realise the last section is not part of the song Time but is a reprise of Breath (In The Air) which is the second track on the album. So this section doesn’t have to be painting a picture that has anything to do with the progression of time and death. But the comment about GGITS being about death and mourning is something I’d never thought of before and so perhaps this does provide that death link between the two songs. I know the magic spell bit is their atheistic pop at religion.

Always felt the part that starts with ‘home, home again’ was an older person’s perspective of their life-just being cold and tired. And the part about ‘calls the faithful to their knee’ to hear the softly spoken magic spell’ was them praying for their soul because they feel death coming soon. Like time just got away from them….

@jaydubya3698

I've always thought sort of the same thing, but maybe with a bit of a twist. There's this sort of rural England thing going on in this verse: a house in the cold and rainy countryside with a fireplace...there is a church nearby across the field that the country folk go to worship when the bell tolls. Here's the thing: isn't it interesting that the narrator isn't at the church...he hears the bell from across the field, he knows people go to church, they hear prayers, but he's not there. He's at home by the fireplace. Perhaps there are two ways to use YOUR time on Earth to comtemplate your mortality: in church with others under the "spell" of the pastor, or, at home, by yourself by the fireplace, watching the fire die.

"Full sensory Song" absolutely true. one of the most thought provoking introspective songs. thank you for reacting to this one and so many of the other ones you two do, love

Pink Floyd is the most powerful band I've ever listened to. I believe their genre is called 'Psychedelic Rock'. Truly one of a kind band.

Your certificate of purity is in the mail (-;

The whole album has a heartbeat theme. If you think about it, a heart is a clock. A lot of people say Comfortably Numb is David Gilmore’s best work, but I’ve always thought Time was his masterpiece, followed closely by Money.

The guitar solo is like a runaway freight train that comes off the tracks and then gets shot into space and then gracefully lands on another planet.

Pink floyd made a perfect song that works forever. Its the perpetual motion machine of songs

if I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times...Pink Floyd saved my life in my teenage years. Truly powerful sounds and words they have provided me almost my entire life.

To answer your question about the “softly spoken magic spell” one verse earlier it talked about the ringing on the iron bell that calls the faithful to their knees it’s talking about church and the end of life and the song slowing down drives the feeling of death.

What Lex is doing is exactly what this album is meant for. Closing your eyes, receding into yourself, and just living in it.

When you have done most of the songs on this album, you have to sit back and listen to the whole album. A whole new Trip

There is some absolutely incredible guitar work in this song. So powerful and musical

You guys really nailed it on this one, the philisophical conversation was so good to hear. Thank you.

The song before this, "On the Run", is completely mesmerizing & ends with the footsteps of someone running away, and this transitions to the ticking of the clocks...and the chiming of the clocks rips you out of that sense of ease to remind you how fleeting life can be. This is the ultimate headphones album. That being said, it just makes the most sense to Play "Speak to Me / Breathe (In the Air) / On the Run / Time / The Great Gig in the Sky" as a group, because there is no clean break between these songs, and you get a more complete story that ends with a passionate angel welcoming you to the pearly gates...I bet the ending may cause Lex to tear up a bit, it's so beautiful.
