I was struck by an article in the Guardian 10 years ago about a woman who used to hang out and work with the Rolling Stones in the 60s and the article was about adapting to old age while having nostalgia for such a potent time in her life. For this recording I had to change one word - 70 to 80. Musically it needed to be rhythmic but melancholic: something you got from major and minor seventh songs in the mid 70s as disco kicked inYESTERDAY’S PEOPLEYesterday’s people used to party, party, partyYesterday’s people were so cool so cool so coolThere was a girl her skin so fresh and fineThere was a guy as smooth as a dark red wineThey were out there in a happening eraFace to face so close and nearerPhotogenic and oh so boldBut that generation has all grown oldIn 69 it was crazy zany timeIn London town all that music going downYoung people travelling - free love happeningBeautiful people philosophizingMary Jane twilight in the MediterraneanThat generation they’ve all grown oldIf you’re talking to an 80 year old guyRemember he - was Mr cool way back in timeTry to imagine the face much youngerThe yearning soul hormonal hungerSuite Judy blue eyes young people dancingThat generation they’ve all grown old
