      WolfSky9 As I approach 70 I say the same thing to myself almost every day. I see old movies on TV that I saw first run in the movies and I remember them like it was yesterday; then I see the copyright date of 1972 and I just know it couldn't have been 47 years ago. I used to think that I was blessed because I had a great memory; my friends envied me because I didn't have to study so hard because of this gift of recall...my family never consulted the TV Guide to see what was on TV, they just asked me. Little did I know that a great memory in youth becomes a curse in old age as you can't rid yourself of times, places and especially loves that no longer exist except in my memory. Instead of happiness, these memories have made me sad and depressed. I think sometimes that I'd rather not have them, but then again, I'm not so sure if I really want that.

      I agree with you as to it being one of the most underrated songs of all times....I have always loved it and my appreciation for it has never waned. I still play it every now and then... In fact I posted it on my Facebook page last night. ( newer Facebook page). I will post it every once in a while when I`m listening to it to see if I get a reaction from anyone who remembers or appreciates it but no one has ever reacted to the song which makes me kinda sad because it`s such a beautiful song. I will take it to my grave...lol. I``m 67 yrs old and have had quite a collection since I was 12 yrs old. I just listened to "The Weight" by "The Band" also which was a great song too. Sooooooo many great songs !! They keep me alive !! Well thanks for appreciating the Orpheus song !! And have a great day !!

      WORC, I assume Worcester, where Orpheus was from? This song got extra heavy airplay on WMEX Boston where I lived in '68. AM radio baby we didn't know from FM yet. I was 10 years old at the time and liked it even then; now, it's a real nostalgia trip. One of the deejays even brought it back a year or 2 later and it climbed back up the local charts. It really is timeless. Peace.

    As strange as this may sound, the music of the 1960s was a big part of being a teenager in the 1980s. Oldies radio stations were popping up everywhere in the United States of America when I was in high school back then. When I worked as a busboy at the Ground Round Restaurant when I was 19 years old back in 1983, there was a group named Fred that performed there; and they would perform this same song by Orpheus. Therefore, even though I don't remember this song as a toddler when it was first released in 1968, I heard it on the radio all the time as a teenager. This was a beautiful song that was loved by both the Baby Boomer Generation and my generation - Generation X. It had that mystical and sentimental way about it.

    One of my favorite Groups of all time. In 1969 I saw them "live" in Worcester, Mass. while i was working there that year. I loved it and though I haven't heard them for many years. "Can't Find the Time" has stayed in my mind all these years. Great Song. Great Lyrics. Great Memories! Thank You UA-cam for helping find Orpheus again!

    Can't Find the Time was played Friday evening on Sirius XM 60's on 6. Hadn't heard it on the radio in ages. The one song that I will, thankfully, never get out of my head...so amazingly beautiful! We're so lucky to have all of their recordings. I know the record company messed up, but I still can't believe Orpheus never became the big time group it should have been. In my heart it was.

    I heard this song for the first time yesterday as You tube led me to it after listening to spanky and gang ( like to get to know you ) … however I have this feeling that it was fed into my ears as a 3 year old when my Nan died in 68. Can’t stop playing it on guitar now

    Worcester Telegram & Gazette, October 28, 2022; Bruce Arnold, co-founder of Orpheus, remembered by Worcester friends and musicians, by Richard Duckett--Bruce Arnold, a founder of the Worcester rock group Orpheus and the writer and lead vocalist of its atmospheric 1968 hit "Can't Find the Time," "had a big heart and tons of passion," recalled his friend and fellow bandmate and Worcesterite Howie Hersh. Arnold was also extremely animated, "like standing next to a ball of fire," Hersh said. "It was not all of a sudden." Arnold has been unwell for a while and died several days ago, but the family wanted to keep matters private before making the announcement. After signing with MGM Records, Orpheus released four quite successful and well-regarded albums between 1968 and '71 and toured the country. Then in 2014, after a gap of about 40 years, Arnold, who lived many years in Marin County in California, returned to Worcester to perform a concert titled "Orpheus: The Homecoming" that was held at Mechanics Hall. Arnold was happy at the prospect, as he related in an interview with the Telegram & Gazette. "I want to see everybody. I want to talk to everybody. I want to hear their Orpheus stories," Arnold said. No other information about Arnold's death was immediately available, but friends and fellow musicians have been reacting with sadness to the death of Arnold, and pointing out his place in Worcester's music history. Local Worcester music veteran Walter Crockett went to junior and high school with Arnold. " 'Can't Find The Time' was the first hit to come out of Worcester in the rock 'n' roll era, and it was a great pop song, much in the genre of the Association, but original," Crockett said. "Can't Find the Time" was the first release from the band's eponymous debut LP in 1968. A love song, it had a mesmerizing flavor and flow to an orchestral arrangement and the refrain of "I can't find the time to tell you." The song had re-releases and various interpretations, including one by Hootie & The Blowfish heard in the movie "Me, Myself and Irene." While together, Orpheus played on the same bill with a number of major acts of the era, including Cream, Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, The Who and many others.

They said they are happy to provide music files, lyrics, and signed CDs to their fans free of charge. They also asked me if I wanted to be included on their mailing list because they send complimentary Orpheus goodies to their fans. Who does anything like that these days? Thank you, Orpheus!

    Such a beautiful song. I saw "the greatest beer run ever" last night and freaked out when it played in the movie. Very cool for the Farrely brothers to use the original 20 years after using the hootie and the blowfish cover in "me, myself, and Irene."

      Yeah!Yeah, I saw that movie too and I have the original vinyl album. But like, you I also freaked out when I heard it in the movie and had to go search it out. Something about his voice when he sings, your pretty face, hits me right in the gut. My roommate in college knew them from her home town and told me they made headlines when the police were chasing them after a drunken brawl. I fell in love and wanted to go home with her to meet them. never did.
