pop rock guitar
Artist picture
Trash-pop, guitar rock and melodic miscellany.
Not so much a band as a bloke with a guitar and a laptop, The Smivets deliver a genre-bending blend of pop, rock, punk, prog and many other monosyllables.

Story behind the song
The lyric was written before Covid but it seems to fit the current mood. I guess the reality is that life is constantly changing and wishing things were like they used to be is a hopeless cause. Medical science has now given this a name. Grumpy old man syndrome.
Lyrics
Well I can't believe this is happening The things they're putting me through The whole process is maddening Things I have to do It's like one thing after another thing I think I'm starting to crack And you can't blame me for wondering If I'll ever get my life back Well I'm not here to bandy platitudes About what is and isn't fair Because, in these lower lattitudes, No-one seems to care. I don't count it amongst my aptitudes To cope when things foul up It requires a change in attitudes Which I'm struggling to drum up Let's get this over with So I can get back on with my real life These modern days are a passing phase Don't you realise? When it all blows over I can relax a little bit Let's get this over with So I can get back on with it Well I've forgotten all my passwords Though I know they're written down somewhere And I missed the software upgrades And long lost track of what plugs in where I'd be happy that we're dealing With extraordinary times If it wasn't for that nagging feeling Of getting left behind Let's get this over with So I can get back on with my real life These modern days are a passing phase Don't you realise? When it all blows over I can relax a little bit Let's get this over with So I can get back on with it

What a stonkingly awesome song. Everytime I hear one of your songs...like this one, I say to myself... "I must try to get a sound like that". Impossible. This sounds just like a rocking band in the studio doing it in one take with no overdubs. Wow, you are a one man rock band. Excellent...as usual.

I watched the Isle of Wight Festival on Sky last night. This could easily have been belting out off the main stage. Super track.
