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…

-Mrs. Groovy Sunshine-
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…

Lyrics…
I come from a place called “ Am-e-RI-ca”
Naw, you don’t come from “ Am-e-RI-ca”
I come from a place called “ Am-e-RI-ca”
Naw, you don’t come from “ Am-e-RI-ca”
You come from Usa
You come from Usa
You…
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.

so.... i first wrote & recorded this song in 2015, and then did a new version in 2017, and here's my updated 2020 version...
still not totally happy with it but... here we are anyway lol...
I live in a house with a river running at the bottom of the garden so i wrote a song about it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz0ygixKAno
When I get down by the river and I watch it flow
I Wonder where the hell it finally goes
Snaking…
(Remastered 22/10/2021)
I wasn't even sure the recording machine was still going to work after nearly five years... Certainly, bits of me don't work anymore... But, surprisingly, I got this done in 24 hours, start to finish... Strange old world…
So we're locked down, and got bored, so we downloaded the stems for Fleetwood Mac's track, ditched all the vocals and rerecorded them.
Billy then remixed and mastered the track.
I hope we haven't butchered it too much if it's one of your…
In light of what's going on today my mind has been racing nonstop to digest the situation. I had to put this track into a higher perspective.
-Creation
-Destruction
-Rebirth
