Also by Jim Croce
If there was ever a song that could transfix you in time, it must be 'Time in a bottle'. Released shortly after Croce's sudden death in 1973, "Time in a Bottle" hit number one on the charts and became one of the late singer's most recognizable songs. The song's lyrics, dealing with mortality and the wish to have more time, combined with the accident had additional resonance with the listeners and subsequently received a large amount of airplay and the demand for a single release built.
