Older (Hilary)

[Hilary]

1 track, press and go.

I know I hit the 3 minutes - I did play it slowly though!

Older

Who says when we're older it has to be different?
Who says when we're older it can't be the same as it was before?
Not me
Not you
We're just the same on the inside
And a little bit different on the outside
To anyone looking in

Who says when we're older it has to be boring?
Who says when we're older it can't have the same intensity?
Not me
Not you
We're just the same on the inside
And a little bit different on the outside
To anyone looking in

The only thing that's changed is my waistline
The only thing that's changed is your hairline
We're just the same on the inside
And a little bit different on the outside
To anyone looking in

And you're not nearly as funny as you think you are
But I still laugh at your Dad jokes
And I love those little wrinkles just underneath your earlobes
When you smile at me

We're just the same on the inside and
Just a little bit different on the outside to anyone looking in

Who says when we're older it has to be different?
Who says when we're older we can't feel the same as we did before?
Not me
Not you
We're just the same on the inside
And a little bit different on the outside
To anyone looking in

hmmmm.....  first off, lovely singing and music..and the theme is really big and true....
I have a daughter that is a senior in HS... she laughs at my dad jokes but I probably am not as funny as I think....
yes, who says we have to be different?  I am in my 60s now but I have more fun now than ever...and my spirit still soars... so yes the song resonates for me....very much...

[Ray Brookes]

That's a pretty little tune, Hilary. Lovely plaintive delivery and a cool incisive message in the lyrics.

[Redler]

Your voice and piano sounds so sweet! Nice to hear it over 3 minutes. Nothing wrong with about 1 minute songs by you, but this song is a good example that longer tunes work even better. Keep them coming, you're talent!

[Johnny McAleer]

Nicely payed and sung. Agree with everyone about the resonance of the theme - on the inside I still feel 17 (some days at least...) Keep up the good work 

[Farrell Jackson]

Who says a song has to have a gazillion tracks and over produced to be beautiful? Not me and not you. Lovely Hilary!

Lovely Hilary.
I was expecting to hear a uke, loved the piano. Cool.
When it comes to dad-jokes, I am ninja level :-)

Wonderful sentiments in the lyrics Hilary and very nicely put into words. The piano backing works really well and for a one track press and go it sounds pretty good. Lovely vocal performance as always and a lovely track all round.
