Just like the title says, it's a song describing what life was probably like in a rural northern town in the 1960s. In 1963 it seemed like the innocence was gone when JFK was killed and the "British Invasion" came. The singer is nostalgic for those days.
“ The cold of the winter of 1962–63 is referenced in Dream Academy's 1985 hit single "Life in a Northern Town". The lyrics include the phrase "In winter 1963 / It felt like the world would freeze / With John F. Kennedy and the Beatles".”
