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 smile 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.

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".

I will go with Dave B. thought on a mid solo. Clear mix and listens easy. Thank you for sharing.

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.

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...

Thanks Hans

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

Torrey,

It was based on a true story Leon overheard the conversation in a coffee shop.

Thanks for the comments.
