It was a magical, simple, happy time to be alive. So much different from today's world. Of course there were problems, the world was imperfect. But a schoolyard fight didn't include guns, knives and other weapons-a fistfight and you were friends. Everyone went home, had time to cool off; and that was it. The internet/music has become a curse for youth starting in the 90s.

Ok time for a mini biography. Andrew was born in summer 1951. His sisters Martha and Melani were born in 1953 and 1962 respectively. I think that pretty much gives away that this song is auto-biographical. His mother is Marni Nixon. She is the playback singer for Deborah Kerr in the film the King and I (also with Yul Brynner). Andrew's father was Austrian Jewish. Andrew died age 59 of heart failure in June 2011.

I could relate to this song as a teenage boy in the 70s. I was a lonely boy.

sadly this is so much like my brother john who was very jealous of me...he was born 1950 and i was born 1959....he wanted to be the only one.....

Andrew insists that the song is not autobiographical. He stated that " I put that in because it was convenient". " I really did have a happy childhood"..
