I suggested to my friend Didier that we revisit it; I felt it made perfect sense to have it on this album with his arrangements. I just added the bridge after the first chorus and changed some lyrics, but otherwise, the structure and vocal melody remain true to the original. I really loved his arrangements from back then, but he convinced me to try something else—well, actually, he didn't give me much of a choice (laughs). The rhythm isn't what I originally had in mind, but Casper came up with this one, and in the end, I think it works really well. It was immediately chosen as the first single by both my labels. The music video is a montage of live footage from that era; it’s my ultimate nostalgic song. ===================================================================================================== LYRICS: You miss the days when you were young Everything was new and fine You miss the freedom and the fun Staying up till late at night But don't you realize everything has changed And nothing feels the same You have so much regrets Yes don't you realize everything has gone There s nothing to be done I know that tonight you feel sad and alone You miss the friends who made you laugh And shared with you your dreams and fears You miss the love that filled your heart And wiped away your tears You would give everything to feel that way again You would give everything to feel that way again You miss the world that seemed so fair Full of wonder and delight You miss being carefree Seeing beauty in each sight But don't you realize everything has changed And nothing feels the same You have so much regrets Yes don't you realize everything has gone There s nothing to be done I know that tonight you feel sad and alone #indiepop #indiepopmusic #shoegaze #popmusic #guitarmusic #90spop #90shindisongs #britpop #creationrecords #sarahrecords
