My good friend and co-writer Clint Daniels had this title the day we got together to write with Michael Heeney, also a good friend of ours and a wise old owl of songwriting prestige. As we often do, we were talking about how life surely must’ve been simpler 50 years ago, and wondering how we ever drifted so far. I guess they were asking the same thing back then and probably will be 50 years from now. I’m glad Clint shared his idea with us that day...this is one of the songs I’m most proud to have been a part of.
