Marc Daniels became an overnight sensation when he kicked off his solo career in 2015, achieving both popular success and critical acclaim with singles like “The Starting Line” and “Redheads”. In 2025, Marc emerges with a new single “Good Old Days,” ready to shape his image not as a rising star, but as a mature artist who’s seen the world.
Following the success of his 2018 LP “#HOLDMYBEER” Spokane-born country-rock artist Marc Daniels took a short hiatus, writing and composing for hit TV series such as “Roswell – New Mexico” and “Road Hard,” while also experimenting with house, dance, and pop music.
Unlike his more recent projects, Good Old Days is a return to Marc’s country-rock roots, and taps into the dropping universal ache of fleeting youth. The song is written as a message from a father to his son, infusing this track with Marc’s signature charm and rugged warmth.
Built on his expressive baritone and light-hearted songwriting, Good Old Days opens with a narrative punch: a young man sneaking in late, only to be met not with scolding, but with wisdom:
“Don’t be afraid, no matter what you did, kid I’m glad that you made it home,” Marc croons, setting the stage for a playful yet poignant journey through adolescence and early adulthood. The key message of the song shines through in the chorus: “wish someone had told me ‘bout the good old days; when I was living them.”
At its heart, Good Old Days is more than a nostalgia trip: it’s a mentor’s anthem. Lines like “Whether you lose or win, get in the game” capture the track’s spirit: a gentle nudge to live fully, make mistakes, and embrace the chaos of youth. It’s an homage to those moments we never realized were shaping us until they became memories.
Marc’s storytelling elevates the song with lyrics that are conversational yet reflective, playful but rich with hindsight, giving it universal appeal for anyone who’s ever looked back fondly on the days when they were young, wild, and free.
Musically, the track balances crisp guitar-driven rhythms with an easygoing tempo that mirrors the laid-back energy of Marc’s earlier work. With this single, he continues to make authenticity a defining feature of his musical career.
From touring the West Coast to featuring in film and TV, Marc has carved out a space where grounded storytelling meets crossover-ready charisma. Good Old Days feels like the product of a seasoned artist; still fun-loving, but deeper in perspective. It’s a beautiful track that’s equal parts pep talk, flashback, and anthem for late-night bonfires and backroad drives.
