I wrote this midi track in 2006 at 16 and I incorporated the midi track into the actual song I recorded. The music had no words back then so I re-worked a song from 2010.
lyrics
Dumb Reminiscing
I reminisce on time that's passed
The years that ran by so fast
It's like my time went in a loop
or I went through a hoolahoop
So I think back on what I did
when I was just a kid
And I think back on happier times
But that happiness might only be in my mind
Chorus
It's a dumb reminisce
When I sit and think back
On times that I miss
When my life was a shack
It's a stupid memory
When times weren't that bad
Reliving what used to be
And it almost makes me sad
Nostalgic thoughts are here
From holidays from longone years
Times that will never return
That are no longer a concern
Some people just move on
Never reflect on times that are gone
But I go back every now and then
Though I know I'll never be there again
The idyllic stories told
makes me feel like I'm getting old
When I think about those days
A different time and a different place
But isn't it really the same?
Isn't it kind of a shame?
In my memory moments are missing
but I still enjoy dumb reminiscing
