In our cars we drive along,
Music playing from the radio,
Playing music from Boom Radio.
What’s that? I hear you ask,
Well it is a radio station
That plays music from our era,
Back in the fifties, sixties and seventies,
When pop music was great.
The great groups and singers
That we sang and danced to
In our teenage years.
A song will come on
And we will both sing out loud,
We know all the words
Because back then
You could understand the words
As they were sung so well.
So here we are
My lover and I singing loudly,
Singing loudly songs of our youth
With smiles all over our faces,
Taking us back to those wonderful times
When pop music was great.

Good write Gold.
Thanks Orchi.
Nothing like a sixties or seventies revival. An exciting time for music. Such great songs, singers and groups. I count myself lucky that I had the opportunity of seeing the Beatles live. Wonderful to remember the days of our youth and to have a sing song. More so if you have someone special to share it with. Lovely memories Andy. Have a great day.
So true Cassie, the music was wonderful back then. Thank you,
Andy
Good point well made.. Agree so much.. back when you could actually make out the words. Nailed it, Andy!

Very true David, some marvellous bands back then.
