Reflections on a class of ‘77 reunion!
Lyrics: Me
Music: AI, I asked it to make fun fast uptempo country rock with a rockabilly kind of feel with a good beat - this is about the 12th AI version, the others came out with more garbled music or words, and some did not include the words at all… so put this one through several versions. Would love to have a live collaboration, but this gives you an idea.

Lyrics

[C]
in the nineteen seventies
a few of us were cool
some of us were street smart
others of us were fools

some of us were loving
a few of us were cruel
some of us were happy
others of us were blue

some of us broke rules
both in and out of school
while others were
good spotless
youth

[V1]
many years later
some of us now realize
how little we really knew
about love and life
with our friends
or about what
we believed
were our truths…

[V2]
many years later
some of us now survive
no matter what we once knew
about trials and times
way back then
or about what
we did or
did not do …

[C]
in the nineteen seventies
a few of us were cool
some of us were street smart
others of us were fools

some of us were loving
a few of us were cruel
some of us were happy
others of us were blue

some of us broke rules
both in and out of school
while others were
good spotless
youth

[Outro]
now we reminisce
with compassionate kindness
taking differences in stride
with class of seventy seven
awe and insight

yeah, now we reminisce
with nostalgic tenderness
putting differences aside
for class of seventy seven
unity and pride
