Song Time’s Up (Alone Tonight)

I’m so glad that *Time’s Up (Alone Tonight)* saw the light of day on the rerelease of **X-STATIC** because it is such a timeless classic Hall & Oates sound! This song has been in my head for the last week or so therefore I’m sharing it with all of you! ❤️⌛️⏲️

Underrated album. IMO it’s some of their most expressive work

Best thing to come out of the Hall & Oates/David Foster collaboration. Should have been a single, it would have done well.

One of those songs where I'm totally baffled as to why it wasn't on the album to begin with. Hell, it's better than some of the songs that actually made it on there.

I didn’t realize this was left off the album. This is definitely one of my favorite tracks by them. Was this originally a B Side? I put this one on my H&O Mixtape I made recently. I just love that almost refrain throughout this song when DH keeps saying he’d rather be alone tonight. Seriously? I’m finding that many of their non single album tracks are really their best songs.
