The song title -IGY- refers to the International Geophysical Year, 1957-58.
Even in the 80's, people were looking back to an earlier time when things were "better".
Today US politics are more corrupt than they've ever been in my lifetime, but **not** more corrupt than they've ever been. But don't whine, roll up your sleeves & get to work making it better. It will take your whole life to get it done, so better start now.

@twistylikethat it wasn't just better, it was a heck of a lot simpler and NOT near as much stupidity was as widespread as it is today, not only that, common sense also had a place in the role of life as well, unlike it has today where it has been entirely evaded. Just too bad that this song could not apply to the present and current society.

this is what you need
good-hearted, beautifully crafted music
the streak of black running
through the lyrics
might pass unnoticed
just like a grey cloud
that no one even bother to look for
in a blue summer sky

This was recorded not long after Bob Marley died. In spite of the irony of the lyrics, each generation has always had musicians that sing to our higher aspirations. Thanks.

this is a great song,
brazilian boy.
The people of this world is crazy mad. How can you explain the fact that this tune has less than 120,000 views? This song is one the greatest compositions ever in the history of modern music !

@tremayne3 I think its because I only uploaded about a year ago and WMG arn't too fond of people uploading their donald fagen material, it is in their ownership. If it was up say 5 years old I think over 1 million views for this.

Unfortunately it's no longer a beautiful world, it's more of a fcuked up one.
