A true master of the reminiscent song, and this theme really allows you to flex your wings. What better hook than 1965 for that? The whole chorus is great. "with a heart still unbroken", a simple but so perfectly placed. I love the scene about catching butterflies / look in their eyes. I also like how it gets a bit dark on the brother returns which I think does a good job of setting up the message in the bridge in a way the other scenes could not. As always guitar part is expectational and the whole thing very clean.

I love the hook of this song - each verse, moving through time, so perfectly sets up the chorus. Such a nice arc -- made poignant by the anchor that the chorus provides. Guitar playing is so nuanced and sounds so rich - but still leaves room for the emotive vocals to connect. Great song!

Jeff--thanks much for the connect and kind words on In 1965. I'm just getting around to checking out your always fabulous material and I already see that I've got my work cut out for me because I definitely wanna hear 'em all.

Great memories - sure brought back some for me. Killer guitar playing and singin' - and well-produced track too overall. I was 5 in '65 - I remember my mom buying me the single of "I Want to Hold Your Hand" (with "I Saw Her Standing There" on the B side). My dad hated it and got mad at mom for buying it! Super chorus, I love that tag line of "In 1965" - so nice! Great song, I enjoyed listening.

And apparently, I'm ONE year older than you--so yeah, these memories speak to me. And nobody had more influence on me as a musician than The Beatles, of course--which, probably, most of our generation would have to acknowledge.

Great song! ❤️

I remember that Beatle album..one of my favs. Thx's for the memory Jeff. We are of the same vintage and I reflect on the past more than ever these days. Wonderful job...as usual.

I didn't have an older brother to give me Rubber Soul (though I did give my brother Led Zeppelin's In thru the Out Door when he was 10 or 11). Definitely resonates! Love your vocals and guitar work.

if that opening line is autobiographical, then im two years older than you. This is an excellent song. Receiving Rubber Soul on the Christmas of 1965 is a perfect reference point for the era, and the song In My Life a good choice of a song to bridge the present and past for the nostalgic theme. You are hitting some resonant low notes here that I havent heard you sing before, and they are the vocal highlight for me, and the vietnam verse is my favorite in a song filled with lyrical gems.

I love this live acoustic version! This is all the song needs, in my view. It's so great.

I'm on my 3rd listen to this excellent song. A beautiful reflection on 'the good days', and the memories we carry. I enjoyed your delivery and the clever observations in the lyrics.

Beautiful words, structure and performance - and I love that self-aware line about nostalgia in the bridge

Always enjoy a song with a date in the title. I think you've just written my life story. So many great things in my life that year. Going steady, my first love letter. No brother in VietNam but a few years later I wrote to a few guys over there. No fireflies in SoCal, just bonfires on the beach. Ah... nicely done!

I can't decide if it's country or folk, but it's lovely. You see the #acousticonetake tag, you don't expect something this clean. What a delight your performance is.

Thank you, sir, I enjoyed that immensely, especially diddly flourishes - that guitar has such a lovely tone.

A like the smoothness of your vocals and guitar. Chasing fireflies/chasing dreams [thumbs up]
