Description
Fulvio Romano has become a musician brother to me across the pond between me in Chicago and he in Brindisi, Italy. He has immense writing, arrangement and of course performance talents.
He wrote this song and asked me to write some lyrics. He said the song felt to him like a nostalgic look at getting past the days of our youth but still feeling every bit as rebel rockers that we have tried to be all these years.
So here is "Old Boyz", the creation of my cugino Fulvio, with some words and spices added to the sauce by me.
You will hear a beautiful piece of wood and strings hand crafted by Fulvio's luthier - a PRS style custom made to sing in Fulvio's hands here.
The cover art is indeed a photo of Mr. Romano from his racing days. I was going to add a picture of me at 21 but because I am much more handsome I did not want to take the stage from my slightly older brother or he might beat me up. ;>
Fromano : Music, lead vocals, backing vocals, all instruments, production and mix.
BossHook : Lyrics, lead vocals, backing vocals.

Lyrics
We were young once
Played the world with the strings in our hands
Never feeling it could ever end
Fulvio
We were young once
all our days were made of rock and roll
stolen kisses before the show
John - Fulvio
Now those days are gone
They won’t be left unsung
‘Cause old boys like you and me
Keep the memories alive and free
John
We still dream big
But we know that the real world is cruel
We still suffer all those doubt filled fools
John - Fulvio
And in the days to come
The Father’s Will be done
Cause old boys like you and me
Keep our hopes and dreams alive and free
Fulvio
But when the lights go dim and it’s time for heading home
we drive throught the night to a place we used to go
Funny how the years can change your face so much
without changing the way you feel when she holds you tight
John - Fulvio
So come on, brother
Shake it loose and let me see your soul
You ain’t too far gone to make it rock ‘n’ roll
Yes I can make you dance
I can still take you to that special place
Where the guitars romance and the drummer takes a chance
On taking you to the special place
And though the days are gone
They won’t be left unsung
‘Cause old boys like you and me
Keep the memories alive and free
But when the lights go dim and it’s time for heading home
we feel that every day we’ve spent hasn’t been lost
we still got so much to say to this deaf world
so let’s pick up our guitars
let the show go on
Guitar solo out
And though the days are gone
They won’t be left unsung
‘Cause old boys like you and me
Keep the memories alive and free
Played the world with the strings in our hands
Never feeling it could ever end
Fulvio
We were young once
all our days were made of rock and roll
stolen kisses before the show
John - Fulvio
Now those days are gone
They won’t be left unsung
‘Cause old boys like you and me
Keep the memories alive and free
John
We still dream big
But we know that the real world is cruel
We still suffer all those doubt filled fools
John - Fulvio
And in the days to come
The Father’s Will be done
Cause old boys like you and me
Keep our hopes and dreams alive and free
Fulvio
But when the lights go dim and it’s time for heading home
we drive throught the night to a place we used to go
Funny how the years can change your face so much
without changing the way you feel when she holds you tight
John - Fulvio
So come on, brother
Shake it loose and let me see your soul
You ain’t too far gone to make it rock ‘n’ roll
Yes I can make you dance
I can still take you to that special place
Where the guitars romance and the drummer takes a chance
On taking you to the special place
And though the days are gone
They won’t be left unsung
‘Cause old boys like you and me
Keep the memories alive and free
But when the lights go dim and it’s time for heading home
we feel that every day we’ve spent hasn’t been lost
we still got so much to say to this deaf world
so let’s pick up our guitars
let the show go on
Guitar solo out
And though the days are gone
They won’t be left unsung
‘Cause old boys like you and me
Keep the memories alive and free
Great song, always a treat listening to your work. Fine vocal performing by both and an excellent music work. I love it!
