Very catchy David. All of it works really well, but man that chorus...great!
Some it made me think, some of it made me wonder. lol

Thanks Ray. I appreciate the Kirsty reference. She was such a cool lady. The story of her death is tragic though. Horrible thing. But she is a hero to many, and was a great songwriter.

Hey Janice and Bud, Thanks so much. I had fun with this one. I try not to think too hard when I am writing lyrics, it hurts too much to do otherwise.

Hi David, Funny song, indeed reminding us of the Byrds, like Floyd said. With lyrics that only you can write Rob and Anne-Marie PS we've got at least 300 songs to listen to....

"We’re not growing older We’re just slowly making up our minds"
"I’m a prophet with no prophecy"
A couple of the many great lines!! Kind of a Springsteen arriving in the 60's instead of the later years! Great job on this David! Thanks, Torrey

Hey David ...
Trying to do a little catching up. Cool song! And someone mentioned the Byrds - couldn't agree more. That 12-string just talks!
We’re not growing older We’re just slowly making up our minds Pay up now or pay up later Everybody get in line
Great lines - I'm living them!!! I'll be 72 next Friday. You are so creative in both lyric and musical composition. You're a rare talent!! ANother top-shelf production and delivery from you.
Wishing you the best and Happy Easter ...
Alan

Sorry I haven't read all the comments yet, but this is a great tune... There's something very Phychedelic Furs about it and that makes me feel good.
It's only my madness that stops me from going insane.

Thanks Kenny!
In a few ways this song started out as an inside joke to myself with allusions to the era and epoch. I was there when it happened, and actually met and R.E.M. and the guy who produced their first three albums, Mitch Easter. There were a bunch of us in bands in Winston-Salem, NC at time, which was arguably (due to Easter) the hub of jangle rock.
So, many things in this song were done on purpose to imitate that sound from my "musical childhood."
Thanks for noticing!

David,
Nice song! I agree with floyd. Great groove. Jangly, Byrds-like... But the bass is more modern. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Hi David,
Wow! This is a journey and half! I enjoyed it. I still maintain that you are one of the most creative and inventive composers among us here in Users Showcase. Your boundless imagination and your ability to harness it and create excellent songs are something I admire greatly.
All the best, Noel

Excellent song-writing. Very well put together.
Maybe it's just me but I hear punk/grunge in the schoolyard melody, dissatisfied lyrics and vocal delivery and that driving 8-count. Just with the distortion replaced by the jangly guitars.
Whatever. Sounds good, feels right.

Yep, this also reminded me of The Byrds.
You are one great lyricists David as well as having a very diverse musical mind and the ability to put both down into excellent songs. I wish that I had such a talent!

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
