Jim’s New Single “Remember The Good Days” Hits Home for Every Parent Who’s Ever Blinked and Wondered Where the Years Went
LISTEN TO REMEMBER THE GOOD DAYS
We all say it.
We all hear it.
And yet, somehow, we’re still caught off guard when it happens to us.
“Kids grow up so fast.”
In his new single "Remember The Good Days," Jim takes that familiar truth and turns it into a tender, nostalgic journey — one that starts on the water with fishing lines and laughter, and carries through decades of love, lessons, and the kind of family moments you wish you could bottle up forever.
From the opening lines — “Sunlight danced on the water’s face / Them fish would be jumpin’ in our secret place” — he paints a vivid picture of fatherhood in its simplest, most beautiful form. Those long days outdoors, where time seemed to slow down, eventually gave way to the relentless pace of life: jobs to work, bills to pay, kids heading off to college, wedding bells, and the joy of grandkids’ laughter.
But through it all, the song’s message is clear: while the seasons of life change, the love and bond of family remain unshakable. Lines like “Be humble, kind, strong and true / These lessons of life I pass onto you” serve as both a father’s advice and a reminder that the real legacy we leave isn’t money or material things — it’s the moments and values we pass down.
The chorus, soaring with emotion, drives home the inevitability of time and the importance of cherishing every second:
Tides and time don’t wait for no one / At the end of the day when the work’s been done… Remember the good days.
And while the verses move from fishing trips to Sunday dinners, from boyhood adventures to the next generation’s laughter, the heart of the song never wavers. The bridge ties it all together — acknowledging that the river of life keeps moving, but the memories stay anchored, ready to pull you back with just a thought, a smell, or even the sound of a reel.
By the time the outro rolls in — “Before that tide comes to take me away / I’ll remember the good days” — you’re not just listening to Jim’s story anymore. You’re remembering your own.
"Remember The Good Days" isn’t just a song for parents. It’s a song for anyone who’s ever loved deeply, lost track of time, and wished for one more day in a moment that’s now gone. Jim captures that bittersweet truth with the warmth of a sunset and the honesty of a family photograph — the kind you pull out years later and can still feel in your bones.
It’s more than music. It’s a reminder.
Don’t just talk about how fast kids grow up — make time to remember, and live, the good days while they’re here.
