Scrobbles for The Times may also include audio recordings, podcasts and satirical sketches issued by the British news organization that publishes the British daily newspapeer, The Times.
The three music groups called The Times are...
1. The Times were a British rock band of the 1980s and 1990s with Ed Ball as its prominent figure.
Ball, obsessed with 1960s Britpop, formed the band while he still was a member of the Television Personalities and recorded the first The Times album in 1980. It went unreleased until 1985 and the second album, Pop Goes Art, was released in 1982. The Times released a steady stream of albums and EPs on Ball's own Artpop! label after he left the Television Personalities: This is London (1983), I Helped Patrick McGoohan Escape (1983), Hello Europe (1984), Blue Period (1985), Boys About Town (1985), Up Against It (1986) and Enjoy The Times (1986).
The Times broke up around the end of 1986 and Ball joined Joe Foster as an executive at Creation Records. It wasn't long, however, before Ball restarted The Times; this time the name was cover for a solo career with a less Carnaby Street-obsessed outlook and more of an interest in current trends. 1988's Beat Torture was standard late-'80s U.K. guitar jangle à la Creation's house band, Biff Bang Pow!, half of which serves as Ball's backing band, but 1989's ecstatically titled E for Edward dips tentatively into the acid house boom spreading over the country that summer. Ball also recorded three acid house EPs under the name the Love Corporation in the early '90s.
More Times albums followed, Et Dieu Crea la Femme (1990), Pure (1991), and Alternative Commercial Crossover (1993), Sad But True (1997) and Pirate Playlist 66 (1999) before Ball discarded that band name for good.
2. The Times were a mid-1960s mod / beat / proto-psychedelic band from Warrington, Cheshire, United Kingdom, fronted by Alan Taylor. The group's line-up was completed by Gordon Struthers (guitar), Ron Pickard (guitar), Kenny Crank (bass) and Barry Unsworth. Struthers had previously been in The Renegades. The group recorded and released two singles for EMI in late 1965, early 1966. Their début release was the self-penned 'Think About The Times' b/w 'Tomorrow Night'. Around the same time a private label EP by a band called The Times came out, but this was by a different band... potentially band #4 on this Wiki page.
3. The Times was an indie rock band from Malaysia.

The Times Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or would you go before I change my mind?
If I can change I hope you never know
But I hope you know I never change
My lungs stop breathing
My heart stops beating
That was it and this is now
Your heart will lock you up within
The end is where you begin
My lungs stop breathing
My heart stops beating
That was it and this is now
I gotta tell you they'll change the keys
Your heart will lock you up within
The end is where you begin
The Times's song "Begin" tells the story of a lover who is unsure about their relationship. On one hand, they are scared of losing the person they love and want them to stay. But on the other hand, they are afraid of getting hurt if they stay. The lyrics "Would you stay if I told you to go? Or would you go before I change my mind?" shows the dilemma that the singer is facing. They are not even sure if they want to change their mind or not.
The line "My lungs stop breathing, my heart stops beating" is a metaphor for how the singer feels their world coming to an end if the relationship ends. They are so invested in the relationship that it feels like a part of them will die if it ends. But they also recognize that change is inevitable, and sometimes it is necessary to move on. The line "Your heart will lock you up within, the end is where you begin" encapsulates this message. The end of a relationship may feel like the end of the world, but it can also be the beginning of a new chapter in life.
Overall, "Begin" is a poignant and reflective song that captures the emotional complexity of relationships. It speaks to anyone who has ever been torn between their desire for love and their fear of heartbreak.
Line by Line Meaning
Would you stay if I told you to go?
If I asked you to leave, would you still stay or would you go away before I change my decision?
Or would you go before I change my mind?
Will you leave before I change my thoughts of wanting you to go?
If I can change I hope you never know
I wish you never have to find out if I change myself
But I hope you know I never change
But I want you to know that I always remain the same
My lungs stop breathing
My respiratory system ceases to function
My heart stops beating
My cardiac system stops functioning
That was it and this is now
That moment was in the past and now we are in the present
I gotta tell you they'll change the keys
I have to notify you that the locks will be changed
Your heart will lock you up within
You will confine yourself because of the emotions you hold within your heart
The end is where you begin
The conclusion is the starting point for something new
