The first time I heard this song, I was lying in bed listening to Dream of the Blue Turtles on headphones. I was starting to fall asleep when the cymbals or gong or whatever started up at the end. As soon as I heard that, I sprang wide awake. I don't know if I actually said it out loud, but I definitely thought, "My God! It's ringing!"
Throughout the song, the ticking time bomb remained. Even while the message of acceptance was spread, the clock continued to count down. Years after the Cold War, having never known the terror of a looming nuclear war, I was still given the impression that the Doomsday Clock had finally struck midnight. This song is highly effective, and that's all I have to say.
