When you get a groove going, time flies. — © Donald Fagen
When you get a groove going, time flies.
Time flies. Time flies faster every year. Time flies whether you're having fun or not, whether you're living your life big or small, whether you surround yourself with fear or laughter.
When I was growing up and listening to bands like the Dave Clark Five, the groove was what initially got me going. I really like that funky, heavy groove.
It takes me probably about four hours to get into the groove [with making music]. And it's really important for me to not break the groove.
Dor shook his head. “The phrase. What does it mean?” Sarah wondered if he was kidding. “Time flies? You know, like, time goes really fast and suddenly you’re saying goodbye and it’s like no time passed at all?” His eyes drifted. He liked it. “Time flies.” “With you,” she added.
Time flies apace-we would fain believe that everything flies forward with it.
I'd just say the flies get bigger in the summertime. I guess the flies are buzzing.
It's funny, you know - time does travel pretty quickly, and I do have good friends, and the further away I go from them in location, it matters that I keep on the same line and the same groove that I had and preserve that groove with people who I see seldom.
But meanwhile time flies; it flies never to be regained.
It's like the basket is an ocean and everything you throw up is going in. You get into that kind of groove, and it's all good.
The melodies are always the most important part to me. I am pulled more to the groove than the chord progression. After you find the groove, you find the most simple chord progressions and then sit inside that groove.
The time flies. The time flies feed on rotting clocks.
I've gotten to travel all over the world and meet all kinds of people and do all kinds of great things, so it's, like, surreal. It just lets you know how time flies, especially when you're having fun. It seems like time keeps going by faster as I get older.
I do not yet want to form a hypothesis to test, because as soon as you make a hypothesis, you become prejudiced. Your mind slides into a groove, and once it is in that groove, has difficulty noticing anything outside of it. During this time, my sense must be sharp; that is the main thing - to be sharp, yet open.
Flies? Flies? Poor puny things. Who wants to eat flies?
I was in a band called Groove Solution. Because there was a groove crisis, and we solved it.
Just because a record has a groove don't make it in the groove.
