Author’s Note - Taken from "Open Road" 1970 - https://youtu.be/EnECuNw2wtM [Intro] [Verse 1] People used to get together round a fire Fishes were cooked songs were sang       Moonlight used to guide our way home in the dark Do you find it hard remembering? [Chorus] And still you people tell me life is easy to get on with But what I’ve got so far’s enough to get along with   People tell me that it’s so oh - oh I don’t know anymore I don’t know   [Verse 2] People used to get together round a problem Eyes were looked at tongues were true       People used to stop and say how do you do Do you find it hard remembering? [Chorus] And still you people tell me life is easy to get on with But what I’ve got so far’s enough to get along with   People tell me that it’s so oh - oh I don’t know anymore I don’t know   [Instrumental] X2 [Chorus] And still you people tell me life is easy to get on with But what I’ve got so far’s enough to get along with   People tell me that it’s so oh - oh I don’t know anymore I don’t know   [Verse 3] People used to spend an hour making tea Easy peasy was the rule       People used to pause to think and contemplate He who hussled was the fool [Chorus] And still you people tell me life is easy to get on with But what I’ve got so far’s enough to get along with   People tell me that it’s so oh - oh I don’t know anymore I don’t know anymore I don’t know anymore I don’t know

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque un temps où les gens se rassemblaient autour d'un feu pour partager des moments simples, comme cuisiner et chanter ensemble. Elle souligne une nostalgie pour des temps passés où les relations étaient plus authentiques et où l'on prenait le temps de se soucier des autres. Les paroles mettent aussi en avant le contraste entre les inquiétudes actuelles et une vision de la vie qui semble plus compliquée, malgré les affirmations selon lesquelles elle devrait être facile à vivre. Cet élan de réflexion sur le passé incite à se demander si nous avons réellement progressé ou si nous avons perdu quelque chose d'essentiel.
