The Swon Brothers stormed onto the country music scene four years ago when they released their self-titled first album after appearing on The Voice. This week, the two brothers, Zach and Colton, dropped the accompanying music video for their track “What Ever Happened.” The visual features the Oklahoma natives strumming their acoustic guitars while emphatically belting out the lyrics. It’s evident through the singers’ emotions and the lyrics that The Swon Brothers wish they could reverse time back to when things were simpler. Surprisingly, the duo co-wrote the song in less than an hour. “It was a culmination of their discussion about the world and how much things have changed since they were kids. Longing for a simpler time, they thought others might feel the same and outpoured the lyrics and the melody in a song that defines the times we are living in,” the pair shared in a press release.

“What Ever Happened” Lyrics
What ever happened to staying together
When you said “I do” it meant “I do,” forever
We got daddies leaving and strung out mothers
And we got brothers killing brothers
What ever happened to the good old days
We’re running out of the good old days
Moving in reverse, something’s got to change
What ever happened to the good old days
What ever happened, what ever happened
What ever happened, what ever happened
Losing sight of what it means to love
We lost our minds and started back at one
Choosing sides is just a losing game
We’re colorblind, we all bleed the same
What ever happened to the good old days
We’re running out of the good old days
Moving in reverse, something’s got to change
What ever happened to the good old days
What ever happened, what ever happened
What ever happened, what ever happened
What ever happened, what ever happened
What ever happened, what ever happened
Moving in reverse, moving in reverse
Moving in reverse, moving in reverse
Moving in reverse, gotta keep a forward motion
Moving in reverse, gotta keep a forward motion
What ever happened to the good old days
We’re running out of the good old days
Moving in reverse, something’s got to change
What ever happened to the good old days
What ever happened, what ever happened
What ever happened, what ever happened
What ever happened, what ever happened
What ever happened, what ever happened
