An upbeat glance back at those halcyon days of being a young teenager early 1960's and being swept up in the musical revolution. Comparing this with the modern hustle and bustle that is today.

Written produced and performed by Larry Killip

Modern Day Despair (Words and Music Larry Killip ©2011)

Nobody knows me,
Nobody sees,
What I am thinking, what’s in my head I’ll do as I please
On a noon day out when I’m stalking
Sound of music on the breeze
Hitting my ears while I’m walking
Through memories and used to be’s

Nobody knows me
Nobody pleads
Cmon Mr tell us your mind
Let us watch while it bleeds

And it’s all down to the weather
And that cold front moving in
Tryin to keep my thoughts together
By looking back at where I’ve been

(I looked into the sky....Cameo Shane)

Turn my collar up
Brace myself into the wind
Keep the sun upon my back
Don’t let the bad times in
You see it everywhere
God knows it’s all around
Modern Day Despair
Well just listen to the sound....

Nobody hears it
Well maybe a few
Well I was lucky once
Hit me inside
What could I do

It was pouring out of the radio
It was sweeping across the land
The world had come alive
To the sound of a Rock & Roll band

(Beatle screams)

Turn my collar up
Brace myself into the wind
Keep the sun upon my back
Don’t let the bad times in
You see it everywhere
God knows it’s all around
Modern Day Despair
Well just listen to the sound....

(Grand Prix 1962)

Turn my collar up
Brace myself into the wind
Keep the sun upon my back
Don’t let the bad times in
You see it everywhere
God knows it’s all around
Modern Day Despair
Well just listen to the sound....

To the sound
