‘Good Old Days’ is exactly how a good song should sound. You see, there’s nothing complicated or obscure in it. It’s quite simple, in fact; a nugget of relatability and heartwarming character with a highly nostalgic allure. It’s what a song should mean to people – a moment of reflection, a sonic piece they can connect with. It’s not pretentious, it doesn’t seek to reinvent the wheel, instead focusing on sharing a great deal of evocative melodies and vivid, luscious vocals.
Such vocals belong to Spokane, WA-born country hero Marc Daniels. Boasting a rather successful career so far, the talented artist has managed to carve out a niche for himself in the alt and rock country scene. It’s well deserved, as ‘Good Old Days’ fully showcases. Upon a vibrant, full-band arrangement, we find Daniels’s malleable vocal tone, a joy to listen to, fully wrapping the listeners in tons of cathartic energy.
Delving deeper into the record, Daniels explains: “The underlying meaning to the song is to enjoy the years of youth and go big, because we all wish someone had told us we were in the good old days when we were living them. It’s a reminder to live each day to the fullest and hold tight to those memories, because they build the foundation of who we become and they are gone before we know it.”
