Bit gospel like mood in this sad story, worth telling to give perspective to the aging. Nicely flowing melody. Very good arrangement, nice peaceful start. The vocal like synths sound very nice. Good drums, timpani adds interest, I was wishing to hear some tuba as well  I really like the melancholy solo at the end, it's a good way to leave the best part to the last so it's now stuck in my head. Great vocals that fit perfectly with the message. Janne

Lovely song and idea, Peter.
Not sure about the big production in the chorus but that's my personal taste.
My only suggestion is in this verse:
God hasn’t called me home
But I guess it won’t be long
Did I mention that I’m ninety-two?
Try speaking the last line like, "Oh and did I mention that I'm ninety two".
Vic

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. Thanks Misha Peter

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 Thanks Hans Peter

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
Nigel
Thanks Nigel. Peter

Good narrative, good melody and a good arrangement...all combine to make a REALLY good song.
I'd love to hear another solo. Thanks Ray - I'll add an extra minute or two to solo on the next one! Peter

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 Torrey, It was based on a true story Leon overheard the conversation in a coffee shop. Thanks for the comments. Peter
