Torchy slow swing jazz ballad about a guy who sees a young couple in love and begins to reminisce about his own love affair that is losing its romance. He longs to have that feeling again. Jazz quartet (piano, guitar, acoustic bass, brush drums) provides fine smoldering backdrop for smoky male vocals. Guitar and piano solos.

| Lyrics: | Remember being in love? Just like that couple right there Look at them holding their hands; making their plans For the life that they share Remember what it was like? Just like riding a bike Just like the moment you're told when you've been mining for gold You finally hit the big strike Remember being in love? Just like those two right there Look at her eyes as they close as the hand that she knows Gently strokes her hair That was us don't you know? About a lifetime ago And it's no mystery you've grown apart from me I guess we hit a plateau But it isn't such a mountain to climb We're there in the mirror of time A crystal clear reflection of Being in love Remember being in love? Just like those two right there Look at them holding their hands; making their plans For the life that they share That was us don't you know About a lifetime ago And it's no mystery you've grown apart from me I guess we hit a plateau But it isn't such a mountain to climb We're there in the mirror of time A crystal clear reflection of Being in love |

Buddy Moncrief
Somewhere out on New Route 66, about 50 miles west of Sinatra and 75 miles east of Tom Waits, Swanson struts his swingin' and singin'. He loves Dave Frishberg songs and Johnny Walker in a tumbler. He'd like to hear Kurt Elling cover Stone Temple Pilots. Lonnie Johnson is God.
On his latest full-length release "We Can't Party Like We Used To" (2009 Acoustic SwaneeLand), Swanson pounds out 12 original vocal jazz cuts with a cool retro vibe. His bluesy vocals and tasty guitar licks remind of crooners past and present - Sinatra, Cole, John Pizzarelli come to mind - but his clever songwriting has a leaner, edgier feel to it that puts him squarely in the current century.
