About The Song
Time of the Season is a timeless classic rock song by The Zombies, released in 1968. Its haunting melody and atmospheric instrumentation, featuring a combination of acoustic and electric guitars, create a melancholic and introspective mood. The song’s lyrics delve into themes of societal upheaval, disillusionment, and the passing of time, reflecting the turbulent era in which it was written.
The song’s opening lines, “Are you ready for a storm?” set a foreboding tone, hinting at the chaos and uncertainty that lies ahead. The lyrics continue to explore the feeling of being adrift in a world that is rapidly changing, with lines like “The good old days are gone, and the future’s looking grim.” The chorus, with its repetitive phrase “Time of the season,” emphasizes the cyclical nature of life and the inevitability of change.
The song’s popularity surged in the early 1990s, thanks to its inclusion in the soundtrack of the hit film “Reality Bites.” The film’s themes of disillusionment and the search for meaning resonated with a new generation of listeners, who embraced the song’s timeless message. Today, “Time of the Season” remains a beloved classic, a testament to The Zombies’ enduring legacy and the song’s ability to connect with listeners across generations.

Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
It’s the time of the season
When love runs high
In this time, give it to me easy
And let me try with pleasured hands
(To take you in the sun to) Promised lands
(To show you every one)
It’s the time of the season for loving
What’s your name? (What’s your name?)
Who’s your daddy? (Who’s your daddy?)
(He rich) Is he rich like me?
Has he taken (Has he taken)
Any time (Any time)
(To show) To show you what you need to live?
(Tell it to me slowly) Tell you what
(I really want to know)
It’s the time of the season for loving
What’s your name? (What’s your name?)
Who’s your daddy? (Who’s your daddy?)
(He rich) Is he rich like me?
Has he taken (Has he taken)
Any time (Any time)
(To show) To show you what you need to live?
(Tell it to me slowly) Tell you what
(I really want to know)
It’s the time of the season for loving
