Like Sands Through the Hourglass These Are the Things You Never Knew About ‘Days Of Our Lives’

2. Whose Voice Is It Anyway?

“Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.” If you’re not familiar with this iconic phrase, fans of DOOL have already turned their backs on you as a heathen. The series’ accompanying music is just as memorable, in a comforting retro kind of way. As for the voice however, from 1965 to March 1966, Ed Prentiss said the phrase with a little addition: “Days of Our Lives, a new dramatic serial starring Macdonald Carey.” Carey starred as patriarch “Dr. Tom Horton” from 1966 to 1994 when he passed, but his voice is still heard in the opening title sequence and half-point break today.
