A bit of a new thing for me to be involved with but I enjoyed the challenge that faced me. Firstly to sing someone else’s lyrics is a real first on a collaboration and to work off a sketch that was to be finalised.
The Eclectic Collective is an open collaboration where musicians are invited to contribute. 
Ken of K2  & the three invited me and sent his sketch and the lyrics by Joseph Shelton for me to work with. 
Joseph's lyrics I liked and  Ken’s sketch was tempting enough for me to think this can work really well. 
So I hope you enjoy the song and I thank everyone involved for bringing it together.
There are four different mixes on the cloud of this song I’ve released my favourite. 
Generation X a song about being kids in the years born between 1965 and 1981. The good old days apparently!

Generation X

V1
Where were you on those days gone by
Were you out by the tracks where the lone train whistle cries
Or kicking up rocks on those dusty roads of dirt
Or skating on streets 
wrestling on the grass beneath endless sky

Chorus 
On days gone bye
On days gone by
To be back there again
On days gone bye
On days gone by
For all its lows and for all its highs 
Where were you on those days gone by

V2 
In an attempt to release their star light
Bonded by hours
To a brotherhood we believed would never die


On days gone bye
On days gone by
To be back there again
For all its lows and for all its highs x2


Middle8 
All the times we returned bottles for cash
All the times we placed coins on the railway track
All the times we watch the street lights when they came on it was time to go home

V3. 
Where were you on those days gone by
From within this dull petrification of time
On days gone by
On days gone by
On days gone by

Lead break 

V4
Where were you on those days gone by
With a tape in the walkman
Playing the soundtrack of passing time
On days gone bye
On days gone by
To be back there again
For all its lows and for all its highs x2
On days gone by
For all its lows for all its highs 
On days gone by 


Don't Look Back
