Occasionally, an artist dies tragically during the height of their career, thus not only leaving the world with sadness but questions about what could have been. In my eyes, there’s no sadder posthumous hit than Jim Croce’s deft composition “Time in a Bottle” because it captures the complexities of human life both lyrically and musically. #27club #johnlennon #xxxtentacion #jimcroce #timeinabottle #70spop #70smusic #70sfolk #cloudrap #sadmusic #musicstory #musichistory #musictheory
