Sunday Classics 05.04.2025
Happy Sunday, folks! Hope you’ve got your coffee brewing and your feet kicked up, because we’re back with another round of Sunday Classics—the spot where timeless tunes take the spotlight and your memories take the wheel.
Last week, the votes came in loud and clear, and the winner was none other than the wistful, beautiful “Time in a Bottle” by Jim Croce. Let’s just take a moment to soak that in. This song is like a handwritten letter from the past—gentle, heartfelt, and deeply human.

Here’s a little background for the curious: Jim Croce wrote “Time in a Bottle” after learning that his wife Ingrid was pregnant with their son, A.J. The song wasn’t actually released as a single until after Croce’s tragic death in a 1973 plane crash, but once it hit the airwaves, it soared—quickly reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The combination of Croce’s tender voice, simple acoustic arrangement, and haunting lyrics turned it into a true classic. You can almost hear the clock ticking between every note.
So now it’s your turn—what song should take the Sunday Classics crown next week? Drop your suggestions in the comments below, and don’t forget: the song with the most reactions wins a featured spot in the newsletter next Sunday. Whether it’s an old-school ballad, a toe-tapping rock anthem, or something that reminds you of Sunday drives and simpler times, we want to hear it!
Cheers!
