Time Flies is the third studio album by Vaya Con Dios. Even more than the previous album, this is a melancholic album and is more gypsy and soul oriented. The reason for the theme is because Vaya Con Dios was mainly the partnership of Dani Klein with Dirk Schoufs and in 1991 the pair decided to go their separate ways. On 24 May 1991 Schoufs, who was only 29, died from AIDS because he had become HIV-positive due to his heroin addiction.[1]
The album did very well and was their first number one album in the Netherlands and was the number one album in Switzerland for five weeks[2] and the band embarks on their first world tour in 1993. Time Flies was the first album from Vaya Con Dios which did not end with a song in French.
