No Time (The Guess Who song)
"No Time" is a song by Canadian rock band The Guess Who. Composed by guitarist Randy Bachman and lead singer Burton Cummings, the song is basically a reverse Dear John letter stating, "No time left for you".
Randy Bachman: “That was our country-rock song," Bachman said. "Me and Burton trying to be like Neil and Stephen Stills."
There are two versions of the song. The original recording was done for The Guess Who's album Canned Wheat. But it is the re-recording that was released as a single and is the better-known version. This one is slightly faster in tempo and has the two verses transposed. The 1969 single peaked at No. 5 in the U.S., and was the third in a string of million-selling singles that all hit No. 1 in Canada for The Guess Who.
This song was used in the movie Pirates of Silicon Valley.Year-end charts
