"These Days" is the fourth single from Australian alternative rockers, Gyroscope's third studio album, Breed Obsession. It was released as a digital download by Warner Music on iTunes on 1 November 2008, containing two previously unreleased B-sides. The song, together with the rest of the album was recorded at Elevator Studios in Liverpool with Dave Eringa (Idlewild, Manic Street Preachers). The song has been a part of the band's live show since the album's release. In October 2008, Gyroscope posted a live video of the song on their Myspace profile, which Daniel Sanders, their lead singer described "We took a lot of time and care recording this one, as we wanted to make sure it was stamped with that proper English guitar tone."
A review on Australian music website, Faster Louder, regarding the song, states "A simply classic guitar riff from Zoran [Trivic] starts things off while a ticking drumbeat supplements Daniel’s “un, deux, trois” count in. Memorable guitar chords and tight drumming perfectly complement what will surely become another Gyroscope classic." TheDwarf website reviewer, Rebelution, described their live performance in May 2012 "[they] launched straight into ‘These Days' and ‘Confidence in Confidentiality' with an energy and enthusiasm that was maintained throughout the night. Even their more mellow songs, like ‘These Days', were given an intense and vibrant edge."
Although the album sold well, and spawned the hit singles "You May Be Right" and "I Am Here", it was not as popular with audiences or critics as its predecessor, 1989's Now and Again. Guest musicians on the album included Phil Comparelli and members of XTC (credited as the Dukes of Stratosphear.)
To promote the third single "A Fishing Tale", the band held a contest on Canadian music video channel MuchMusic entitled "Fishing with the Grapes of Wrath". To be eligible to win, viewers had to submit the name of the magazine that Tom Hooper picks up in the video to win a fishing trip with Tom Hooper, Vincent Jones and MuchMusic VJ Terry David Mulligan.
These Days was the band's final album of new material for almost a decade. Following the album, Kevin Kane left the band, citing creative differences. The remaining members carried on under the new name Ginger.
Continuing Gayle's run of No. 1 Billboard Country singles, the album contained the No. 1 hits If You Ever Change Your Mind and Too Many Lovers. Another track, Take It Easy" also became a Country hit, peaking at No. 17.
The album was certified gold by the RIAA in 1994 for sales of over 500,000 copies.
When a command is issued, the player model uses authentic WWII infantry hand signals to issue the command to his squad; this is similar to the predecessor Brothers in Arms games. The player also has the ability to take cover behind objects and fire from a third person perspective, which is an integral part of the game's strategy.
The game had many new features, including a selection of new specialized units, including bazooka and machine gun teams. A new “health” system has replaced the more punishing set health per mission system of previous Brothers in Arms games. With this system, the player's screen begins to turn red as he exposes himself from cover and returns to normal when he returns to cover; failure to take cover will result in Baker getting shot and killed. The original "Situational Awareness" system of the first two Brothers in Arms games has been replaced with a simple tactical map that includes historically accurate reconnaissance reports based on period reconnaissance of the exact missions the player is currently playing.
Brothers in Arms is a World War IIfirst-person shootervideo game series consisting of ten individual games. The storyline is set against the backdrop of the liberation of Europe. It has mainly been released for Windows and Mac OS platforms as well as sixth and seventh generation consoles and some mobile devices.

That ain't the girl I knew Me, I've been a few places mostly here and there once or twice Still sortin' out life, but I'm doin' all right Yeah, it's good to see you, too Well, hey girl you're late And those planes they don't wait But if you ever come back Around this sleepy old town Promise me you'll stop in To see an old friend, and until then I wake up and teardrops that fall down like rain I put on that old song we danced to and then I head off into my job, guess not much has changed Punch the clock, head for home Check the phone, just in case Go to bed, dream of you That's what I'm doin' these days I wake up and teardrops that fall down like rain I put on that old song we danced to and then I head off into my job, guess not much has changed Punch the clock, head for home Check the phone, just in case Go to bed, dream of you That's what I'm doin' these I wake up and teardrops that fall down like rain I put on that old song we danced to and then I wake up and teardrops that fall down like rain I put on that old song we danced to and then I wake up and teardrops that fall down like rain
