The 12-string and harmonica solos are my homage to McGuinn & Dylan, two of my major influences.

Story behind the song
One day, I woke up and realized that apathy had replaced the idealism of my youth. But it wasn't just me. No one seemed to care anymore, my generation had become the very thing that they once despised.
Lyrics
There was a time when I stood proud With my friends by my side And nothing anyone could do or say Could make us run and hide But that was so long ago (2X) It was a time of wrongs And we were warriors for what's right No matter what the odds were We always put up a damn good fight But that was so long ago (2X) But now those days have gone And my friends have disappeared They vanished like ghosts in the night Well now they're working for the banks And playing the stock exchange Living lives they rebeled against I wonder what made them change Can they be the friends I used to know? The ones I loved so long ago Can you tell me where did they go? I think they died so long ago
