Audio sample

"Hourglass / Theme from Harry's Game" is a double A-side single by Irish musical group Clannad. It was released in 1989 to promote their best-of Past Present. However, "Hourglass" does not appear on the Past Present album.

This is the band's only double A-side single to date and was only available as a single until it was included on the 2-disc 1997 Netherlands compilation "In a Lifetime: The Ultimate Collection (BMG 74321 488072)" and then again on the 2020 compilation In a Lifetime.

Two promotional videos were produced to accompany the single, one for each of the lead songs, "Hourglass" directed by Tim Morris & Pól Brennan, and "Theme from Harry's Game" by Billy Magra.[1]
