Womack, Bobby - Whatever Happened To The Times Lyrics






If you see me running through some streets in life
Baby it's alright, don't even pay me no mind
I'm just looking for, for my yesterday
So my only memories, I watch them fade and fade away

The night will come and the dawn will fall
Put that falling bird, put it back in it's next
And the bird would sing, sing out loud
Whoa, sing out loud, throw whispers
I always do something to make her cry
Like yeah, tear her castle down
And I know it's like lollipops, lollipops swirling through the rain

Pressed again our gentle minds

If you see me running through some streets in life
Baby it's alright, don't even pay me no mind
I'm just looking for, for my yesterday
So my only memories, I watch them fade and fade away

Whoa, sweet baby mine,
What ever happened to those good times
Sweet, sweet baby mine
What ever happened to those good times

People like to know that, I'm not by myself, I'm not alone

    This is some of the most heart touching music I've ever heard, from the lyrics to the melody!

    I read an article bout damon albarn bout how he was on heroin & it was the late 90's & blur had dominated the whole decade in europe,& he needed a break so he went to africa & heard the most simple,repetitive,yet beautiful beats of music he heard in his life & it gave him the idea to start the gorillaz. If you hear his solo stuff he has the blues in it,he has ike turner on piano,and with producing this album he has his take on soul. Very few people today can get a true soul album right,but yet this white dude from england somehow did it. This album is genius,womacks a genius writer and singer,& albarns a genius producer. This is my fav song from the album...

  11. O.... M....

  15. S.... S....

    Not sure many people know this, but this song is actually a re-make of an earlier Womack track of the same name from an album called "So Many Rivers". Give it a search, it has the same lyrics. I actually really prefer this version. Amazing the power lyrics can have when they are made the focus!

    Sublime !

  21. d.... ....

    Dear mr Womack, you song vibrates in my heart that is yet so young (22), and i can't dare imagine the melancholy i'll carry when i'll be your age. But i shall learn from your experience, contemplate the path you and all the elders walked before me, and learn from your footsteps. They will remind me that i'm not alone, and that my own ones need to be just as clear, for those younger ones walking behind me.

  35. M.... ....

    <3 i Love this song,. so so good ..

  36. J.... R....

    This is one of the few songs that I just have to keep coming back to every few days. Cuts straight through to the soul. I'll be keeping Bobby in my thoughts hoping that his symptoms don't get worse any time soon,

  37. J.... Z....

    he will be in all of are prayers, and he wont have to go far to be reminded of all of the great music that he has left us with to cherish and to remind him even when his mind is faint that within him there is a soulful Voice from the outer realm of the Universe

  38. M.... J....

    Amazing music from a living legend please keep Bobby in our prayers he has been diagnosed with early alzheimer's symptoms..

  39. c.... ....

    This is a Awesome Video as well as The Song ... May our Supreme Creator have you Highly Favored In Jesus Precious name I Ask ! 1

  40. c.... ....

    Love U Bobby Letting U Know U R Da Man : ) Peace Be With U & Urs ~

  41. G.... s....

    Chef d'oeuvre. Bravo monsieur Woomack.

  42. J.... W....

    "How ya doin" Mr. R.D.W.? Let me give you something to "chew on"....when GOD put you in that medical induced coma, restored your lungs and saved you from your grave....do you think that HE intended for you to continue smoking? If you beat that demon (drugs), then, why not show HIM your true appreciation and get rid of that nasty, smelly, poisonous cigarette?
    I guess I've put you up on a pretty high pedestal and that doesn't look good on you. Something to think about ANGELS KISSES.

  43. d.... ....

    agreed, this song makes you have confidence that while something may not be easy it can be the right thing to do in the big picture

  44. I.... ....

    Probably my single most favourite music video of 2012. Takes you back to all the sad and lonely moments in your life... but in a good way, not depressing you even more but giving you strength for the future. After what you have been through, nothing will keep you from making your way, even if, at times, you have to walk the path alone. So blue yet so hopeful, a very fine line for a song to walk on. Takes someone like Bobby to make it work.

  45. R.... ....

    oh nvm then

  46. F.... B....

    sorry I was talking to the other guy who seemed in disbelief...

  47. R.... ....

    That I did. Do Ya is from '79 and Put Something Down on It is on '75.

  48. F.... B....

    Check it on whosample

  49. R.... ....

    Only from about 3 am - to 6 am, like 5 or 6 days a week.

  50. R.... ....

    Look up Bobby's "Put Something Down On It" on youtube and listen at 12 seconds in, and you'll hear a keyboard with the same melody. That song predates "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy," by about 4 years. I'm sure Rod borrowed it as a fan and friend of Bobby's.

  51. R.... ....

    The album is called "The Bravest Man in the Universe." That conjures the images of space and astronauts in the albums art work and this music video. Furthermore, the song is about loneliness and solitude. Think outside of the box, sometimes. Not everything has to be literal.

  52. J.... L....

    L'art de la métaphore en Amérique, j'en reviendrais jamais.

    Et non, je ne fais pas l'effort d'écrire en anglais car je suis une stupide fille française - histoire de devancer les critiques.
    Mais j'aime bien monsieur Womack.

  53. a.... ....

    very well done. purfect

  54. S.... ....

    this song is fantastic... Instrumentation, lyrics, groove, beats = stellar
    I've been sleeping on this.

  55. m.... ....

    That hazy bass gives me that Veridis Quo feeling.

  56. 8.... ....

    bang bang

  57. d.... m....

    oh my god.....this song is so good

  58. S.... K....

    Wait, MTV still plays music?

  59. W.... U....

    stupid video doesnt go wit the song unless your making a song about NASA

  60. S.... M....

    I mean holy shit. Woah Bobby, immense.

    (I also love how the starting line sounds like "walk on by", and the short melody sounds like "Rod Stewarts - Do You Think I'm Sexy"

  61. S.... M....

    You can add Herbie Hancock to that list.

  62. A.... A....

    I I most definitely love this song whatever happened to get time whatever happened to the fun time I'm still waiting maybe 1 day you'll find especially be apart a whole world I don't care too much for her to be mines I just wanna make her happy I just want to speak to mind body and soul and be a part of everything

  63. R.... ....

    moi j dit CA tue ca maman !!!

  64. j.... ....

    psh, not compared to the first version, at least

  65. m.... e....

    fantastic amazing!

  66. D.... ....

    what Does he mean by Lollipops running threw the rain?

  67. s.... r....

    Disappointing to see people not responding positively to an artist evolving and branching out. Gil Scott-Heron & Terry Callier are also good examples who embraced contemporary sensibilities and produced music as warm and as soulful as anything from their back catalogue. I think it's breathtaking....

  68. B.... ....

    Goin to see Bobby tomorrow night! Can't wait!

  69. m.... j....

    I really like this; Bobby always gives 150% He never fails his fans, and I've been a fan for many
    years; too many to count. From a 67 yr old Groupy!!!!!!!!!!

  70. C.... B....

    Fantástico !

  71. M.... S....

    thanks I just seen it again I love Bobby don't really care for this I guess so call new direction there was nothing wrong with the old direction. that's one reason way I love Bootsy he still bootsy no drastic changes that will throw his loyal followers

  72. T.... ....

    So I guess you didnt see the making video. It is on your right.

  73. M.... S....

    Well judging from Bobby's great past this imagery just doesn't fit I'm not saying the video's bad just don't work for bobby it seem they are trying make him over when its not broke why try to fix it?? Bobby is a die hard r&b guy

  74. R.... ....

    They certainly are not considering XLRecordings, the record company president, Richard Russell co-produced the album. He's also in the video for the making of the album. If you look at the album booklet and the video XLRecordings uploaded for The Bravest Man song you will see that there is a space motif going on. And the album does sound similar to some of Bowie's work. I'm not saying whether I think the video is good or bad, but I want to point out that you're missing some of the point...

  75. M.... S....

    Just not a good music video looks more like an old documentary Bobby deserve a big budget video he is a legend the focus should be on Bobby and not space footage. This video concept would be more suitable for Bowie or Peter Gabriel. Bobby's new record label is so out of touch with who Bobby really is??

    M.... S....

    I disagree.. have you listened to the song at all? the video is perfect with it.

  76. R.... ....

    It's not really old footage, it's stylized to look like it's from the 60's. The line chart is the same one in the album art.

  77. M.... S....

    O wow thanks for the fyi I think I could have directed a better video than this again Love Bobby womack but it seem they just threw sum old footage togther and called it a music video Bobby deserve much better!!

  78. R.... ....

    He the astronaut!

  79. M.... J....

    Bobby your keeping it real as you always have, luv till end of eternity

  80. T.... T....

    BIG TUNE!!!!!!! I love this!!!! I loooooooooooooove Sir Bobby Womack and all of his work!!!!!!!!! It's about time our generation out here realize that our elders are the masters.....especially artist and musicians....THIS MAN IS A LEGEND!!!!!!!!! .Whomever it is that came up with the idea to place Sir Bobby Womack on new music for 2012....is pure genius!!!!!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! HE SOUNDS SOOOOOOOO SWEEEEETTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!

  81. M.... S....

    I love Bobby womack they could have done a better job with video like put him in it???

  82. A.... F....

    amazing video

  83. I.... H....

    This is what Earth's swan song would sound like if it was translated to music.

  84. a.... ....

    This song is truly amazing and so inspiring. I just forget everything and just feel the song.

  85. M.... J....

    incredible song.from soul to soul...

  86. R.... ....

    Ah. Thanks for the correction! I checked out the few tracks of that album that are on youtube, and they're not bad.

  87. B.... P....

    Ron Wood released it on his album Now Look (which was produced by Womack) in 1975. All Womack fans should check out that album. It is great (overlooked) chapter in the Womack story. Jim Ford's original demo can be heard on Jim Ford- Point of No Return. That CD is also of interest to Womack fans as it includes Jim's original demo of "Harry Hippie"

  88. R.... ....

    Womack recorded it in the early 80's during the Poet sessions. I believe it was first released on So Many Rivers in 1986 by Bobby. It was written by Bobby and Jim Ford.

  89. R.... ....

    The piano/keyboard around 1:30 reminds me of a similar riff in Bobby's Put Something Down on It/Rod's Do Ya Think I'm Sexy.

  90. B.... P....

    Yes. This is a remake. I think Ron Wood recorded it first...

  91. H.... G....

    Soo fucking god song! Lovit q lote!

  92. R.... ....

    Beautiful oniric song...
