God Doesn’t Want My kind in heavenGod hasn’t called me home An old man told me Cause he doesn’t want me up there Telling him what it’s like Down on this mortal coil Not something that he wants to hear I’m ninety-two years old Seen things to make your blood run cold Little children crying out in pain I just don’t understand Is that part of his plan? Little children crying out in pain God doesn’t want my kind in Heaven So, I guess I’ll have to go on living God doesn’t want my kind in Heaven So, I guess I’ll have to stick around God hasn’t called me home Way too cantankerous He doesn’t want my sort up there Saying his creation’s flawed Asking him how could you Lord Allow the things that are happening down here? God hasn’t called me home But I guess it won’t be long Did I mention that I’m ninety-two? At my age you speak your mind Sorry to take up your time Hope that I have not offended you God doesn’t want my kind in Heaven So, I guess I’ll have to go on living God doesn’t want my kind in Heaven So, I guess I’ll have to stick around (repeat chorus)

Lyrical premise was brilliant. Questions many people ask, especially we older folks who have seen way too much of this world. Singing was good as usual. Guitar was icing. Nice work all the way around.

Good write, well produced. As others have mentioned, good character study. The timpani and brass were a treat. I enjoyed this one a lot!

Excellent write! Good vocal, Leon, and production sounds great too. Loved that melodic solo to end things off, Peter. I think I would have been tempted to put a solo in the middle too, can't have too much guitar in my book  Nice way to kick off the year, gents, enjoyed!

Peter & Leon,
Sad, but well written tune. Very good lyrics(!) & performance, both vocals and guitar.
I will go with Dave B. thought on a mid solo. Clear mix and listens easy. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Wonderfully written, well said, and perfectly developed and presented. Love those lyrics, Leon, and a good vocal surrounded by interesting harmony. Hey, Peter, God needs your amazing versatility in God's band.

Leon & Peter,
Good write. Great idea! Thought provoking in a good way...
Nice vocal.
Good arrangement. Opening guitar is a great sound. Cool build at the chorus (timpani is nice - drums are interesting, too).
Good mix.
Really nice outro guitar.
Worth many listens.

Hi Peter,
I think it's not only God doesn't want you up there. Me neither.
As long as you make these nice songs it's alright to stay here and entertain us/me.
It is a very nice song with a surprising angle in the lyrics.
I enjoyed it a lot. Nothing to complain about. Just enjoying it...
Hans

Hi Peter & Leon,
Good song - I particularly liked the Lyrics and the chorus.
I agree with Dave - I would like a lead break of some sort in the middle for a bit of light and shade but otherwise the mix is great.
Well done.
Best Regards

Good narrative, good melody and a good arrangement...all combine to make a REALLY good song.
I'd love to hear another solo.
Cheers

Lovely rich sound Peter and Leon! Great use of those Orchestral sounds! Rather Beatle-esque in places! Heart wrenching lyrics that most folks grapple with at one time or another! I would like to think otherwise that the old man found peace in the end if the tune was based on a real story! I always enjoy your work! Thanks, Torrey
