1) Smile is an Orange County, CA-based indie-rock band. (http://thebandsmile.com) They released several albums on several different labels with several different lineups, united by singer/songwriter/guitarist Mike Rosas. The band began as a sludgy grunge project on Atlantic records, but bounced to San Diego-based Cargo with a poppier sound. Their 1998 album "Girl Crushes Boy" earned critical-acclaim in Southern California, and was often-cited by alternative paper OC Weekly as one of the best albums ever to come out of Orange County. Smile reunited in 2013.

2) Smile was formed in the late 60's, and was made up of Queen members; Brian May and Roger Taylor, and a long time friend Tim Staffell. The band recorded but never released one single, titled "Earth" (b-side "Step On Me"), and posthumously released two albums. Smile later turned into Queen when Staffell left, Freddie Mercury joined, and the 3 of them found John Deacon. Their song "Doin' Alright" was later recorded by Queen for their first album as "Doing All Right".

Staffell and May met in 1964 and, together with several mutual friends, formed a band that they would call "1984". 1984, in May's words, was "purely an amateur band, formed at school, although perhaps at the end we once got fifteen quid or something. We never really played anything significant in the way of original material". (Brian May, The Guitar Greats, 1983).
For four years, the band did little in the way of recording, playing cover songs at sporadic gigs while the bandmembers focused on their schooling. May would leave the band in 1968 to focus on his BSc exams and would be accepted to study for a phD in astrophysics at renowned Imperial College.
(A degree that May would finally obtain forty years later.)
Though he was a diligent student, May desperately wanted to continue to play his guitar, so he and Staffell decided later that year to start fresh with a new band. "Smile" would be the chosen name of this new venture, and May would post an advert on the student message board: "Brilliant Drummer wanted for Heavy Guitar band - must be able to play like Mitch Mitchell, Ginger Baker, Keith Moon."
A student at Imperial saw the posting and immediately told his roommate, a London Hospital medical school student by the name of Roger Taylor. Though enrolled for a dentistry degree, music was Taylor's first passion and he immediately responded to the advertisement.
May later recalled: "I went to the Imperial jazz room, which I'd booked for the evening, and Roger was there already, hitting the skins, fiddling around, turning knobs. I said, 'What're you doing?' He said, 'I'm tuning them.' I'd never seen a drummer do that before! I was impressed. He'd got great energy, but was very neat too, particularly with the snare drum: he'd do these ththththrump things which started very cleanly and precisely on time. Immediately, the sound of my guitar and his drums had that hugeness. We hit it off like brothers too..."
Smile would achieve moderate success during their brief existence, recording several original songs that May and Staffell had written.

Good old times
Smile Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No need to be in the mood to go out on a Saturday night
You just gotta move to the groove of the music under the spotlihgt
And dance with your eyes closed like no-one else is looking
Pay no attention to what all the pretty girls watching could be thinking

'Cause now you're alive you might aswell enjoy it
'Cause once you're dead you'll be thrown inside a pit
And there won't be no dance floor, there won´t be no mirror ball

That last nail on the coffin could just mean the end of all
The good old times

You'll have plenty of time to settle down somewhere in the country
Find yourself a pretty girl who wants to live like a gipsy
Play songs in the meadows, play figures with the shadows
Sip hot tea and fall asleep, sat next to a fire glow

'Cause yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mistery
Today's a gift from life to you, to him, to her and to me
So all you happy-go-lukies, let's go out to party
Regrets are hard to forget, but there's no need to forget or regret
The good old times
The good, the old, the times

So God bless the good old times
We all need the good all times
Don't ever underestimate the good old times

So God bless the good old times

We all need the good all times
Don't ever underestimate the good old times

Overall Meaning

The song "Good Old Times" by Smile is a nostalgic anthem that encourages listeners to live in the moment and enjoy life while they can. The song opens with a message that it's not necessary to be in the mood to go out on a Saturday night, you just need to move to the groove of the music under the spotlight, and dance with your eyes closed like no one else is watching. The lyrics encourage listeners to pay no attention to what anyone else around them might be thinking or feeling, as this is their moment to enjoy.

The song then takes a darker turn as the lyrics warn that life is short and once it's over, there won't be any more opportunities to enjoy the dance floor or mirror ball. The message is clear - enjoy life while you can because the good times won't last forever. The song advises listeners to settle down in the country eventually and find themselves a partner to play songs in the fields with, sip tea, and watch the fire glow.

The final message is that we should all be grateful for every moment of our lives and not underestimate the value of the good times. The song reminds listeners that yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift.
