Hey all,
The man has been working me really hard this year, hardly had chance to do music. I did get chance to "finish" this one though, which has been slinking around by back catalogue for a year or more un-concluded.
Looks back to schools days, both in the lyrics and in the music, with tons of 80s touches in the production, all with slightly rose tinted specs.
Hope it makes you reminisce and perhaps stick on a John Hughes film or something.
Ghetto Blasters aloft now...
GLORY NIGHTS
(T J Boswell)
Those days
In summer my friend
Thought they’d never end
They were so much fun
So much fun
Those days
When cutting a class
To kick ball on the grass
Was a battle won
A battle won
But it’s ok
It’s alright, if our glory days are over
Here come our glory nights
Glory nights
Life is waiting for no one’s call
So take a moment before it all goes wild for one last dance
Place a crown on the king and queen
The world is yours when you're eighteen and in love
But it’s ok
It’s alright, if our glory days are over
Here come our glory nights
Glory nights
Kicking back is the perfect crime
Making love while you’re killing time
Till life begins at last
So make the most of the hell you raise
Don't you know they’re best days of your life?
Those days
In summer my friend
Thought they’d never end
When we were young
We were young
Those days
They said wouldn’t last
They went by so fast
And now they’re gone
Now they’re gone
But it’s ok
It’s alright, if our glory days are over
Here come our glory nights
Glory nights
