Reflections of my life was a 1969/1970 hit single for the Scottish band Marmalade. It was written by their lead guitarist Junior Campbell and singer Dean Ford. Released in late 1969, it was the band’s first release on Decca following an earlier spell at CBS.
The song went on to chart worldwide reaching number three in the UK in 1969, number 10 in the US and 1970 on the Billboard Hot 100, and number seven on the Cash Box Top 100. Initial sales were significant in both countries.
In the kind of world we're living in today, I often think of some of the words to the song. The part when Marmalade sings, “The world is a bad place, a bad place. A terrible place to live. Oh, but I don't wanna die.
Today the song is more than a song to me. The band was singing the way I feel right now. Reflections of My Life is a meaningful song. I love the guitars I hear in the song and the harmony of Marmalade. And most of all, the words.
I’m Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening to Sound Flave.
