[Verse 1]
Remember the days of black and white
When life seemed just a bit more clear
We danced all night under the stars
But the world was under a nuclear cloud

[Verse 2]
Songs of revolution filled the air
Peace signs waved with hopeful might
But the streets of Selma weren’t so fair
And Vietnam’s shadow stole the light

[Chorus]
Nostalgia isn't what it used to be
The past isn’t always what it seems
Do rose-tinted glasses blur memory
Or was that era just a dream?

[Verse 3]
Flower crowns and Woodstock tunes
Voices that could change our world
But out of sight were the men in black
And Apartheid’s grip was still in place

[Verse 4]
We built the dream with youthful song
A march for freedom, fists held high
But all the lies out of Washington
Saw the fight for justice pass us by

[Bridge]
Does time twists our view so cleverly
Were they good old days faded away
Or were they full of love and hope and 
Much better than the present day? 

[Chorus]
Nostalgia isn't what it used to be
The past isn’t always what it seems
Do rose-tinted glasses blur memory
Or was that era just a dream?

AI Collective - Nostalgia

Hi all, so from 2016 to 2024 I assembled and produced a large collection of covers of many of my favorite tunes as my own hobby (and many during COVID lock-downs!) and I have accumulated over 2,900,000 plays across the world which is awesome!

I am much more of a producer that a musician. These first 8 years of my music was mostly based on midi cover tracks often downloaded from the Internet but heavily reproduced and re-imagined variously on my two Yamaha keyboards (Clavinova and PSR 975), but also using PC midi editing & DAW software.

Towards the end of that period, I added some of my more original electronic music which I produced over the past two decades under the name of Funkleberry in order to consolidate my Soundcloud accounts. 

But in 2024 I got into AI music generation and I am now  a freelance songwriter and AI music producer. It's been a fun journey!

My first 4 AI Albums can also be found here:
