Lyrics
I remember, we were younger Living free like youngsters can Feeling like we were gonna stay that way Living day to day the only plan Get a backpack, strum a flattop Sing a song of Amsterdam Sleeping underneath the stars, smalltime gigs in smalltown bars We lived every word of every song we sang Maybe one day, we talked about it We'd find a house beside the sea Off the beaten track, maybe no more than a shack A little worse for wear like you and me In the meantime, living downtown In a room above the store We shed a tear for poor Marlene, watching Destry rides again And dreamed of walking hand in hand along the shore Ain't it funny how the time has been and gone The songs we love grow older every year But to me, they're as fresh as morning dew And everything I ever need to hear Do you remember, we were younger Living free like youngsters can Feeling like we were gonna stay that way Living day to day the only plan You and me babe, just seemed to be babe Such easy company Nostradamus must have planned us and the devil must have damned us Cause I'll be damned if you are not the one for me

This one really paints a picture lyrically. I can feel the words and the story I guess being at a certain age it tells lots of folks stories. Great work. And the trumpet sounded excellent. Is that real trumpet or virtual?

Perfection, really. I love everything in this "easy" song which feels as if it flows like a midnight conversation. Love it.

The guitar is beautifully played and recorded Tim. Your vocal work is awesome here - very touching. The trumpet is very soulfully played. She's a beauty Tim - bravo!

This is absolutely beautiful! I love the vocals, the lyrics and the production. The subtle string sounds are added carefully to give just the right extra touch. The trumpet solo is absolutely wonderful. This song has it all: Warmth, great lyrics and it leaves me with such a nice feeling inside. This is the power that great music has. One of your best, Tim. But then - they all are :)

Gorgeous soulful vocals over flawless instrumentation makes this song an exhilarating and utterly satisfying musical delight. (Loved the trumpet solo). An utterly enthralling performance Tim. One of my favorites.

See now this here is how you write a song. Unforgettable melodies, breathing room and motion, and a heartfelt trumpet solo. That's a beautiful sounding bit o' brass, warm and full of character. There aren't enough stars for this one, Tim. Simply stunning!
