A melodic melding of pop and country-touched pleas to seize the day, “Good Old Days” is a track out today from Marc Daniels. Originally from Spokane Valley, WA, Daniels has seen success as the frontman for several Pacific Northwest bands, in addition to having songs featured in a range of shows, from Roswell – New Mexico to Road Hard. His knack for eclectic, emotional songwriting and crisply approachable productions succeeds here as well, with the enamoring “Good Old Days.”

Daniels has been excelling with a country, rock, and pop cohesion since his 2016 debut “The Starting Line.” He continues with the high-quality songwriting nearly a decade later on “Good Old Days,” which plays as a tribute to the titular best days of one’s young adulthood — overall exuding a carpe-diem mentality with radiant prowess.

“You slipped in quiet last Friday night, and you thought I wouldn’t know,” Daniels’ opening vocals proclaim amidst piano and acoustic strums, traversing into “just like it was yesterday” retrospection. The initial depiction stirs in Daniels addressing someone younger, arriving home late at night from youthful ventures. Rather than criticizing or chiding, he instead urges to cherish these days — singing “I have stories about past stories, they’re treasures that I still keep.”

“Those magic moments, they’re gone before you know,” his effervescent vocals continue, infusing seamlessly within frolicking piano and steady guitars — and into a delectably soaring guitar solo into the final minute. “Good Old Days” is a stirring success from Marc Daniels, who consumes with an emphasis to treasure the “good old days” while still looking ahead to a positive future.
