Simpler Days is a ballad by drummer-Matt.
While I was mixing it the words caught me off guard and the song stirred up some emotional stuff that I'm hoping might come through for the wider listening public.
This has a nice country joe groove and feel to it and I love the melody. It would help to share the lyrics they aren't really standing out enough for these old ears... not a criticism just sayin' I'm old. :) Thank you for sharing as always.
More groovy vibes from your friends here in Boston!😘
Lyrics-
Emily Cline couldn’t make up her mind
Whether to stay or to leave me behind
She’s etched in my memory permanently
But she couldn’t decide what she felt about me
They say…

Another Proods Rocker from Brian. I love his lead guitar on this one…sort of reminds me of Steely Dan, or some other classic rock tune.
More great stuff on the way….also, be sure to check out our remixed tracks.
Travel back with us to 1962…the Place, the shores of the River Mersey.
Umbrella Book is a song about a book….eh, I’m not gonna explain it to y’all.
Slap on a pair of drainies and some Italian heeled boots and you’re on your way to some nostalgic…
Hey gang! It’s us again, The Proods…thousands of followers worldwide!
Here’s another track by Brian…channeling his inner metal, though we all tend to swing towards 60’s pop.
It was fun working on this, though I prefer the OTHER 1960’s style…
Yes…we’re TRYING to do an AC~DC thing here.
The song was written by our lovable drummer Matt, but we all had fun working on it. (The Angus-style guitar lick was mine.)
As always, the song is introduced to the band, kicked around and recorded…

Lyrics…
As the shadows stretch across your dark and lonely room
and your record player fails to chase away your gloom
I want to hold you tight, and tuck you into bed at night
I just hope that you’re alright, and I can…
This song was written after I had watched a documentary about Jonestown, which featured music from their choir. They were very talented and I couldn't help wondering if any of them had survived. I'd like to think that there were a couple of 'em…

I come from a place called “ Am-e-RI-ca”
Naw, you don’t come from “ Am-e-RI-ca”

Naw, you don’t come from “ Am-e-RI-ca”
You come from Usa
You come from Usa

Ok, I know that it appears that The Proods have been posting so grim music of late, but this song started out as an homage to one of the Lady-Proods, and just kinda got away from us.
More stuff following….bright, chipper love songs.

Perfect. Don't change a thing!
yowza! Count me in!!!
This is very punk rock.
Shazaam!
Reminds me of Chad and Jeremy.
Great vocals.
Darn you, this is GOOD! Harmonies are perfect, and I like the words so much that I spent 15 minutes reading about Spaghettification on Wikipedia.
You've got great range in material!
I like the youthful feel of this song. It reminds me of a brighter time.
Yikes and WOW!
:D
This makes me want to explore the melancholy places in my mind.
Hahaha! This has to be a true story.
A new direction? Love it!
This would make perfect credit crawl for a John Hughes movie. Very 80's.
I like this. It would make perfect rainy day music.
Great song!
Classic interpretation of a classic.
Nice ambiance!
I love this...I'll be back to hear it again. The lyrics are really good, heartfelt.
