[leoccash]

[leoccash]

We were so much cooler then

I had you and my poetry to protect me

We were so much younger then.

well; i wish i didn't know now what i didn't know then.

Great song.

[stormrider0610]

yep - classic.

[6sidesofsandinista]

The first Red Rider song I ever heard, also one of the best. Thanks.

[stormrider0610]

it was a toss up between this one and lunatic fringe for me

[6sidesofsandinista]

The vocals for Lunatic Fringe were recorded just after Tom was notified of John Lennon's murder, says that's what gives it that feeling. Also a favorite of mine. Thanks again.

[stormrider0610]

No problem.  Thanks for this bit of info too - interesting.

[leoccash]

Is that true?

I always liked this song very much. I think it was the first Red Rider song to get much airplay. Very cool pedal steel guitar lead licks.

[stormrider0610]

yeah this is a great song, no doubt

[drkmn25]

This is Tom Cochrane's best song ever! Why did it not rampage the country when Symphony Sessions was released? It is that level of greatness!

[stormrider0610]

he's got a lot of great songs but yeah this one is a classic for sure, not sure if this was his first hit or not but it was the first song i liked of his
