Reminiscing - Remastered

This romantic, nostalgic song finds a couple reminiscing about their past, recalling favorite songs and memories. It seems to have worked out very well for them, as they are now older but still go dancing in the dark, walking through the park and reminiscing.

There are references in the lyrics to a Glenn Miller concert and to the Cole Porter song "Night And Day." this places the timeframe in the early 1940s, indicating that this romance blossomed about 35 years earlier. The kids are probably all grown up with families of their own.

This was written by Little River Band guitarist Graeham Goble, who along with lead singer Glenn Shorrock and the group's other guitarist, Beeb Birtles, was a primary songwriter in the band. Goble was a very focused writer and rather meticulous, which didn't always sit well with Shorrock but resulted in some of their biggest hits; Goble also wrote "Lady" and "The Night Owls." "Reminiscing" was part of the band's fourth album; they released one every year from their founding in 1975 until 1979, with each one more successful than the last. The hectic pace and personality clashes took a toll though, and Shorrock was ejected in 1981, replaced with John Farnham. The hits dried up a few years later, and in 1985 the band broke up. They returned in 1988 with Shorrock, but never got back to form. By the late '90s, all original members left the group, giving up their rights to the Little River Band name in the process. Guitarist Stephen Housden, who joined in 1981, took control of the name, leading to legal squabbles in the '00s that worked out in his favor. Shorrock, Birtles and Goble started recording as BSG in 2002.
