The Best Years of Our Lives

The track was recorded for The Golden Age with Bobby Conn and his Chicago based band circle, including Monica BouBou. The album was made with Conn shaping the theatrical arrangements and studio production that defined his early 2000s work. Released on The Golden Age in 2001, it formed part of the album that expanded Conn profile through Drag City during the post 1990s Chicago independent rock scene. The song reflected his satirical approach to pop spectacle and American decline narratives. It remains one of the key tracks from Conn early 2000s catalogue. The recording continues to represent the blend of glam pop, soul pastiche and social satire that made The Golden Age a cult release.
