Many of you here seem to be turning over a new song every week while I can barely get one out every month or so. Maybe too much indecision or age creeping up on me. Though "Don't go gently into that goodnight" I say. I managed to (finish) this one today. Bass - 4446 Drums - Americana sync brushes Guitars and parts of - 4453, 2533,4056,4023,1119 Synth - 3788 https://soundcloud.com/vic-arnold/those-good-old-days?si=e0ccd7e2dcc440eb8ed4443e52effaf7&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing Those Young Old Days There are memories in this room. Parties, helium balloons. Laughter, singing out of tune. The moon rising through the trees. Her perfume on the breeze It's an everlasting tease. Ch. I Remember those young, old days I Remember those young, old days Bringing back those young, old days Bringing back those young, old days Innocent of what things cost Sometimes loved and sometimes crossed Philosophical on what was lost. Brave astronauts or so we seemed Flying off to chase our dreams Believing all our wildest schemes Ch. Inst. Br. Some questions I recall Like, why are mum and dad so tall? Why do they they think they know it all? Ch. & Outro Bringing back those young, old days Bringing back those young, old days Bringing back those good old young old days etc.

Cool title. Your songs always delight and are always worth the wait, Vic. A pleasing mix and the vocal is perfectly placed. Good range and control. I like the melody and the band you hired to play along.

Cool, chugging anthem to the good times. Really nicely done. Those guitars sound nice indeed. Love the shots/holds and the lead guitar lines are woven in quite effectively. My favorite songs are fun to sing along to, and this one is certainly that. Excellent!

Vic, this my favorite song from you because I can relate to it! Super vocal and lyrics. Super groove and backing band. PS - I remember those good old day as I wasn't good but I was young

Thanks Marty.
The band didn't cost too much to hire and they did as they were told. Well, mostly.

Well, I really enjoyed this one, Vic. Beautiful in every way, from the nostalgic, reminiscent lyrics to the excellent band, and, least but certainly not least, your rendition of the song. A nostalgic lyric, superimposed to an upbeat track ... works every time  . Loved the harmonies at the end. You are a true pro, and it shows. Hats off to you.

Cool song with interesting lyrics
I love how you have juxtaposed two contrasting adjectives “young” and “old” to create a sense of nostalgia.
I enjoyed your song - write more often!

Just got back to the forum this month after a long absence so this is the first song of yours that I've heard in over a year.
I must say I think that it's one of your best. And, as Marty wrote, it's worth the wait.
Music, lyrics, backing band all blend together really well to deliver a very pleasant listening experience.
Well done.
Brian
My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile

Thank you DC.
One of my rare happy songs. Maybe I should do more of them.
I liked the "anthem" comment too.

This is the 3rd song I've listened to on the forum with this theme! Must be something in the air. But I enjoyed everything about this one more than the others. It's a great rhythm and the instrumentation is perfect for it.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Hi BD. I can go wrong with just about anything, but thanks for your vote of confidence. That's probably the reason I take so long over a song. I think I probably remixed this one 8 times since I first posted it.  Vic
