Riff: Ty Segall – “The Clock”

Aug 26, 2014

Still know the clock will never show/The wearing and the tearing of the mind

from The Clock lyrics by Ty Segall

In interviews, both Segall and Jay Reatard have mentioned feeling a short window of opportunity to make music, resulting in an antsy, “race against the clock” feeling. Segall opines on that (and the similar reaction we all get from aging) in this matador-esque jam.
