Title: I must be getting old
Post by: thetworegs on February 17, 2023, 01:08:24 AM
Another from my RPM Challenge album Age thanks for listening....
Somedays are sent to test us to figure it out
Somedays are lonely
Somedays I'm switched on
Somedays I don't understand what the hells going on
I get confused
I've lost my keys
I forget your name
I'm sure I'm forgetting me
I got no memory of yesterday

Now I know there's no parole
I must be getting old
I must be getting old That's what I've been told

Break
Life passes like its a dream
Sometimes I'm even back home
Voices trigger memories of people long ago
Their faces look so old
I know there's no parole I must be getting old cause that's what I Benn told   

Sat in the dayroom
Half a sleep
Trying to have a conversation and forgetting how to speak
I got lost I don't think I'll ever be found

I know there's no parole
I must be getting old
I must be getting old That's what I've been told

Break

Yesterday my son came to see me
He appeared looking like his father used to do
I got confused and thought he was my brother
I know there's no parol
I must be getting  old
I must be old that's what I'm told

yeah, no parole this side of it...
great theme... I try not to think about it but just embrace each moment as precious best I can...

I think it's cool you are doing this... really like the piano and voice together...classic

I can relate to these great lines Trevor "Now I know there's no parole, I must be getting old, I must be getting old That's what I've been told" The piano and your solo vocal works well!

Ok time is moving on can't deny it, but I am with John. Plenty of life - and songs! - left in your cupboard. This is a great tune. Great to hear you playing piano, and very well too. Top tune on a subject we are all starting to think about.

This is a really beautiful track Trev! I love the rawness of it, your piano playing has so much soul in it and those lyrics are incredible. Might be the best one of the RPM tracks!
