DAYS THAT USED TO BE

@federation9 Thanks a million for your support, Frank.

@tsir266 Going to Scotland or Ireland may be a good idea, depending on how your politicians vote today. Actually Greek music sometimes touches the soul too.

@alanbrown877 Well said! Imagine how those kids feel when they read the majority of the comments here. However, it´s never too late to make a few lyric changes to make it more subdued. The melody, the video and the some of the lyrics are actually very good.

A Geordie boy in Germany loved listening to this. Thanks

ya1983, your comment is tantamount to calling Barbara Bonney plain, or even worse. I think you´ll have to apologise to her.

A nice McCartney feel to it. Hope it gets a lot of airplay next year.

I still have my old Gladys Knight and the Pips albums. She´s just great. Don´t know Chaka´s music but on this evidence I´d probably throw an old shoe if I heard that kind of wailing in front of my house at night.

Wish I could get a video like this for my Geordie songs on YouTube. I´m also an exiled Geordie and I still heve the original of Home Newcastle in the sleeve. Check out my "Days that Used to Be"

I´d love to have a video like this for some of my Geordie songs on YouTube. Very well made.

@deathc0rR3 A witty bloke who earns his living in the coalmines is a F.....sharp miner. Just kidding! The F sharp is the black key on the piano that is situated between the two white keys F and G. Rach Manenough and his brother Not, liked to write in this key.

I´ve got a mate here in Germany from Derry who does this song with a perfect Geordie accent that he learned when he was a young man playing the Northeast club circuit. You did a fine job on it Tony.

Very nice, Alex. Are you using a microphone or is this just the camera picking up the voice and guitar? With a bit of luck (meeting the right people) you will make it big.

Thanks for sharing this. Listening to your brother´s songs in a little German village sends a shiver up my spine. I feel like jumping on the next ferry.

Nothing brings a tear to an exiled Geordie like this song does.

Still the best Geordie song around for me.
