I was 21 when this came out, had a 58 Volkswagen safari van, traveling up and down pacific coast highway surfing until we could barely stand up when we got out of the water....living like we had no time to lose. Where did the good times go?
Tarney & Spencer Band was a two man super group in 1979 no time too lose should been a number 1 hit at that time .. some times in life you get screwed .. this song is still played on the radio here in Columbia , Missouri The lyrics is nothing but speaks gold … and music beds are as ass kicking as any song out there … turn it up !! No time too lose 2023 … 🎼🎸🎸🎸Rock on ….
They were two Australians based in the U.K. during the 1970s at least. I heard their cover of Cathy’s Clown in the latter half of 1979 but didn’t know who they were. It’s only in 2011, I got to know who they were. Better late than never I suppose but missed a great deal.
It is a big deal. Our cool tune in the band was The Good Life by Tim Weisberg, also on A&M Records. Another cool under-recognized band on A&M was Hudson Ford.
Damn the memories this great song brings back to me , 1979 and its summer time again and awesome high school days and fun nights hanging with the gang. This song brings it all back. Thanks TARNEY SPENCER BAND.
I always felt it was a culmination of the 70s, and was more defining of the seventies time than it was ahead of its time like it was trying to define the 80s. This has a classic 70s feel, and the changes in rhythm make you continue to pay attention. Sadly, the more music changes, the more it seemed to have to hold the same beat to attract that kind of audience, but this track defies all that to perfection.
This song just came to me out of the blue. I’m very grateful for this. I remember it very well and wish I could download it on my phone/iCloud. It’s truly an amazing song that brings back so many wonderful memories
Yeah, me too. I remember hearing this on the radio in mid to late 70's, when I was in grade school. And for some reason it popped up in my head recently, and I remembered how awesome it was. And I realized I didn't even know the name of the band that did it. Same story with Driver Seat. And, I gotta see if the rest of the songs are as good as this one. Even though it was the only one they played on the radio, back then. I found out that Tarney Spencer Band had at least 3 albums. I wanna hear the rest..... almost 40 years later, I wanna finally hear the rest.
Loved this song as a kid then would go years and years without hearing it. Downloaded it off Napster around 2001. My kids got to grow up with it, fond memories. They're all grown now.
this was the song, that I never could figure out who sang it, and I had the lyrics all wrong. Apparently, a logarithm I hit with You Tube threw this up as a suggestion, and I had found THAT song, that I had thought I had lost to time.
Similar experience...had this in my head as an obscure ear worm for years...pre HS, for me....I could remember part of the pre- chorus & guitar riff...that was it... Singer friend of mine randomly sang it once...I was like ' holy sh*t! What is that tune? Mystery solved...like 25yrs+ 😆😆
No time to lose No time to lose No time to lose No time to lose Go with the flow Never let go No time to lose There ain't no way to see forever It's only day to day I'm living for Like a wheel you keep me turning It's your love inside me burning The question's plain: Will your love remain? You can never understand We can only be like water Going on to find our way Just get on with the game With the game What a game
1979 what a fantastic year for music-this song and Escape by Rupert Holmes are #1 and #2 on my 1979 list of best songs.One of the best LP covers of all time as well
In my book, 1979’s best songs were “Hold on” by Ian Gomm, “Driver’s Seat” by Sniffn’ the Tears and “My Sharona” by the Knack. Killer rock songs that were still fending off disco.

Just heard it on the radio. Great song, brought back great memories. I’ve had it on repeat for a few days now…… while it does beat the alternative, getting old sucks. Sigh!
What bought me here was when i was at secondary school back in 82, in my class we had black out blinds for the projector and someone had written in chalk, "no time to lose" in giant writing. Just curious whether they meant this song. But what ever they meant I've found a great song. Cheers people.
I had heard this song, in the USA, in the early 80s. Each time I caught, I never heard who sang it. I went for years, with the lyrics wrong, and hence could not find the song. Finally, one day, the powers that be at You Tube threw this song at me, as a suggestion, and my life long quest, to find this song was ended.
low charting song , still was a winner to me.. one of their two hits.. this one reaching #84 and It's Really You, prior to this one at #86. No time to lose was re-released in 1981 and got to #74 on a side note.. Tarney is very successful as a producer, being highly involved in the production of Aha's ''take on me'' no joke, read for yourself..
I was a senior in college when this came out in 1979. I loved it then as I do now and glad I found it after all these years. it brings back great memories and a little sadness as my college years were closing out.
No time to lose No time to lose No time to lose No time to lose Go with the flow Never let go No time to lose...

Love remaining and shadows in living game one truly can't afford to lose. Time and forever. Kind of country jazz funk softmetal Melody...almost a common man's religion of trying.
This is the best quality copy of this song on UA-cam, and I thank you over a million times for this wonderful work. The original video is also out here. I live for the instrumental bridge on this song, the first big single away from Cliff Richard's pop/rock music team.
I have their last 2 albums, sure would like to find the first album, these cats are freaking great glad to find them on u tube, gotta go no time to lose!!!!!
This is one song that's always been a minor hit but seems to get a lot of love by those who have heard of it, I always felt this song should've made at least the Top 30 on the Billboard Hot 100, I can easily picture Firefall or the Eagles doing this song.
I remember this song while I was in summer school taking a computer class at the local senior high school during the summer of 1979. If I remember right I think I first heard this song just before a big thunderstorm while I was in that class. This song brings back memories that I remember like it was yesterday. Great memories! Us boys had lots of fun at this computer class. Thank you for posting!
Fun Fact: Tarney-Spencer band was a Two Man band in the studio. They did do lives shows but I believe they were hired guns to support them. Past members, Trevor Spencer, Alan Tarney. Wikipedia has a write up.
wow wie oft hat man das in den Kneipen und Clubs gehört, gerade durch Zufall den Song wieder gefunden und gleich wieder eine Gänsehaut bekommen. Danke für den Upload
"I wish there was a way to know you were in the good old days before you actually left them." Andy Bernard
stay right here 'cause these are the good old days...
I feel you my friend
Such a unique time & unfortunately never to be replicated. Music of this time is the best antidote.
@@michelekasel7675Nah man. You don’t really believe that (unless your less than 30 years old).
s@michelekasel7675 These are.... the good old days (love that reference)
I discovered this tune when I was a DJ for the FM station at Clarion State College in PA.
It's still a great tune 44 years later.
Underrated Classic.
Absolutely agree with you
I wanna go back to the time when we were carefree...
This song has had a place in my heart since the first time I heard it.
I know what you mean...
Same here! Thirteen and listening to KQRS 92.5 FM....fell in love with it and it's never gotten old =D
Hi ok i
@@XPHALCON please
Ok
I remember roller skating to this as fast as we could at rollerworld
I was 21 when this came out, had a 58 Volkswagen safari van, traveling up and down pacific coast highway surfing until we could barely stand up when we got out of the water....living like we had no time to lose. Where did the good times go?
It’s a shame that this song isn’t on Spotify…
Their albums were on Spotify at one time but were taken off the Platform. No idea why.
I prefer to buy albums in stores. Down with Spotify, nobody shall not need it.
How many stores sells Albums in physical format such as CD and Vinyl now?
@@danieljudegennis Walmart
We don’t have Walmart in the U.K.
Oh how I want to return to this time...
Tarney & Spencer Band was a two man super group in 1979 no time too lose should been a number 1 hit at that time .. some times in life you get screwed .. this song is still played on the radio here in Columbia , Missouri
The lyrics is nothing but speaks gold … and music beds are as ass kicking as any song out there … turn it up !!
No time too lose 2023 …
🎼🎸🎸🎸Rock on ….

Better late than never I suppose but missed a great deal.
Alan Tarney wrote and produced some Cliff Richard hits like Dreamin’, A Little In Love & We Don’t Talk Anymore.
@@stevedeno7740I read that somewhere as well. I remember Cliff’s records from that period and they were very successful. Alan also produced A-Ha.
Wow, I found this song! I'm a guitarist and our band used to play this. I know, no big deal. That was years ago.
really kick ass work Branden!!! i was 16 in santa cruz learning this... hope you fb.. love this piece!!!
Your band had good taste
Cool man it's a great one
It is a big deal. Our cool tune in the band was The Good Life by Tim Weisberg, also on A&M Records. Another cool under-recognized band on A&M was Hudson Ford.
MTV sucks BTW. I've always listened to college & community radio.
Damn the memories this great song brings back to me , 1979 and its summer time again and awesome high school days and fun nights hanging with the gang. This song brings it all back. Thanks TARNEY SPENCER BAND.
My exact same experience.
This song and I Could Be Good For You by 707 are the best classics
One of my all-time favorite tune's from my youth growing up in Minnesota.
When I would hear this come on KQRS, I'd crank it way up! 👍👍
That's what I just said up there^ !! Wally Walker--my favorite DJ. And God do I miss the Chucker!
Tommy B, Terry T, Sanny & Philly D!
Same way here but my local station is KSHE.
@@Rwalt61just heard it on k she 😂 we're on a mission from God 😂
KQDS Duluth 👍
When I can't find it anywhere else, it's on UA-cam. Thank you.
Shazam doesn't even know what this song is and yes, it's almost impossible to find!
And yet, this was a fairly popular song in 79. Slam Shazzam!
Nada on Spotify as well, save some kind of Tarney Spencer cover album. This song should not be so hard to locate.
???
I only have this album on 8 Track - I feel your pain
This song was ahead of its time. I really liked it, but never knew who sang it. I can’t get enough of it now!
It is definitely one of those songs you can play over and over and never get tired of it. If your foot isn't tappin' to the beat, something's wrong.

100 percent, bone crunching, ass kicking rock and roll. That's how it's done kids.
One of those songs you can play over and over and never get tired of it. Your absolutely right, Kick ASS rock and roll.
This song just came to me out of the blue. I’m very grateful for this. I remember it very well and wish I could download it on my phone/iCloud. It’s truly an amazing song that brings back so many wonderful memories
One song I don't mind having stuck in my head for days. Thank you for sharing!!

This song was re-released in Summer 1981.....huge in Chicago radio in 1981
I remember this on The Loop 98 and WLS both AM and FM in the early '80s.
Wmet Chicago
I lived 300 miles from Chicago,but when the sun went down i was listening to wls am back in the 70s.
Reminds me of my teenage years.🥰
This is a KSHE Classic if I've ever heard one.
Missed this one, my bad. this is cool 😎 👍
Growing up it top of my list of songs im 60 still top 1
Loved this song as a kid then would go years and years without hearing it. Downloaded it off Napster around 2001. My kids got to grow up with it, fond memories. They're all grown now.
Love the driving hook. It pulls you right in and you have to get into it. Impeccable recording.
Love this song... Takes me back to my senior year in high school... Good times with no worries!
Me too fine classic rock music
Timeless classic. Senior year. Worlds away from now….
This was still getting lots of airplay on KGGO in the mid 80's
I used to hear it on radio from time to time up to the '90s, then it just disappeared. It's a lost classic no doubt.
Brings back some really cool memories of my childhood in my teenage years.
It took me more than ten years to figure out who did this song. It was well worth it!
this was the song, that I never could figure out who sang it, and I had the lyrics all wrong. Apparently, a logarithm I hit with You Tube threw this up as a suggestion, and I had found THAT song, that I had thought I had lost to time.

Music the way it should be played.
No time to lose No time to lose
No time to lose No time to lose
Go with the flow Never let go No time to lose
There ain't no way to see forever It's only day to day I'm living for
Like a wheel you keep me turning It's your love inside me burning
The question's plain: Will your love remain?
You can never understand We can only be like water
Going on to find our way Just get on with the game
With the game What a game
Let's All Go Rollerskating!
MTV introduced me to this one. It stayed in my head for years, and to me it is still anthemic. Such vexing lyrics and musical drive!
A KSHE Classic forever!!!!!!!!!!!!
You got that right...
I have this LP. Bought it when it was first released and still play sometimes. Good LP, and great song.
A solid AOR track.....brilliant
This song made me aware that my life was changing. Great song. I was 21 and had a 79 T/A 6.6 with the 4 speed. Nocturne blue with the gold bird.
Always will be my fav, never get tired of that song. it is mint!!!
Absolutely agree with you
@@rileymcintosh4852 smiles at you
mint! lol
memories of a life long ago.....
thejoeyz many many memories.....many years gone by.
What ever became of you ? Are you still out there ? I felt your answer and I am curious to see if you are still here
You still around ?
I miss this song, one of the great songs of all times, so wonderful to hear it again.
I remember seeing pink Floyd at keil 50 years ago, in a blink of an eye, best five dollars l ever spent
Certainly a lost classic and a very underrated tune no doubt.
masterpiece....

popped into my head, funny how the mind sometimes works; 'some' airplay back N the day-

bought the CD and play the song at my gigs (event DJ). Several people remember the song and can't believe I play it.
I simply just love this song, and also Cliff's We Don't Talk Anymore.

Have this on vinyl.. amazing
Das waren Zeiten,1980-1981 Aladin Bremen.Suuuuuper.
And here I am again.
RULES Forevermore!! The blonde on LP cover looks like a mixture of Jerry Hall/Pattie Hansen. Top fashion models in 1979 when this LP came out
Incredible song..underated band
Touch of CSN&Y. Only ever knew their Cathy's Clown song before.

love that guitar run on the efg strings too kool the music from that era still speaks to me. similiar to firefall and other bands of that time period.
Hidden gem
Killer song
Great song
some tasty ear candy out of the A&M vaults from '79.....
Cool song. Heard this on "the sound" yesterday. Forgot about it, hadn't heard it since it 1st came out.
Now I'm going to have go downstairs and grab the album.
Still the Finest 🔥⭐
Oh, hmmmh, those days have gone. The cover shows into the past, before since day and year, but the melody is still available...har har har 😂😂😅😁🙂😐🙁
