Ruff simple guitar / vocal demo.
I'm Turning Sixty [30.05.2014]
[A] I'm turning sixty in a couple of years. Yet I still remember how seventeen feels. Man! Ain't it funny how quickly time's passed, how closer I've gotten to livin' my last?
[A] The youngest of six, four are already there. No longer the same shape with thinning gray hair. I can remember when sixty seemed old. Now it's approaching should I hold em or fold?
[B] The rules have changed now, from the game I once knew. Summers seem shorter, nights shorter too. Yet as I look back at the years that have flown. I wouldn't change much of anything thing for I'm not alone.
[A] I'm turning sixty where has the time gone? Joining my siblings as we go on. As we grow older will time then slow down? So whatever time is left we'll all be around?

Hi Douglas, This sounds really NICE -- I enjoyed the listen! It was fun for me to read the lyric on Forum 3, and then to hear it brought to life! Lisa

Hi Douglas.
I liked the song. Well Done.
As I am pushing 61, I can surely relate to it.
As I listened to it and read the lyrics, I couldn't help but wonder if the song you really wanted to write was not about turning 60 but about your siblings?
That would be a tough song to write and would have it's pitfalls if your surviving sibling didn't see the past in the same way you did. I wouldn't blame you at all if you were reluctant to write it. But that would be a song that only you could write.

Hmmm. I clicked on the link and got a blank page that said no such song. I'll try again later.

Hello All. I removed the link to my demo once I posted Floyds. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a listen to Floyds take.
