Do you ever think back to when you were a kid and reflect on how growing up back then was so different than what kids today experience growing up? That's what our latest song is about. For those that don't like video there is an audio link at the end of the post.

I used EZDrummer3 to add a kick drum, I thought the BIAB one was not strong enough.

I'm playing the lead guitar and the acoustic, also did the lead vocal.
Marty (BabuMusic) is on Bass guitar
Christiane (Chris) Spruit on BGV's

Mixed in Reaper with plugins from Cockos, Waves, and iZotope, mastered with Ozone 11.

Simpler Times

Raised In a small town, where the sun would shine,
Running through the fields, losing track of time.
Barefoot boys with dreams so high,
Playing underneath that endless sky.

Bikes on dirt roads, laughter in the air,
Climbing tall trees we didn't have a care.
Tunes on the radio and a summer breeze,
Living our life, and making memories.

But those were simpler times, when the world was wide,
We’d play till dark, with no need to hide.
Parents’ voices calling us home,
In those simpler times, we were never alone.

Now I sit and reminisce, about those times we had
remembering the good, forget about the bad
A world so pure, a heart so free,
In those simpler times, just you and me.
