Since I'm 80, I think about this stuff although I don't dwell on it at all. It's hard not to think of your mortality. But, the person in this song is okay with leaving it all behind. I added the solo and added some guitar, sang all vocals. IT'S TIME TO GO , BUT I DON'T MIND AT ALL BEEN AROUND A LONG, LONG TIME AND THIS IS IT NOW YOU MAY THINK I'M SAD TO LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND BUT I'M OKAY, IT'S DONE, IT'S OVER, TIME TO QUIT LIVING A LONG TIME SOUNDS GOOD , BUT IT'S HARD ALONG THE WAY I LOST A LOT OF THINGS AND A LOT OF FRIENDS I'M TIRED OF GET STUCK WITH NEEDLES, NOT MY FAVORITE THING AND PROCEDURES, SEEMS THEY NEVER END SO THEY SAY I'M DONE, IT'S OVER, IT'S OKAY I'M SO TIRED THIS BODY'S RUN IT'S COURSE, THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO THEY'VE KEPT THIS OLD CAR RUNNING DOWN THE ROAD, MILE AFTER MILE TIME TO TRADE ME IN, TIME FOR SOMETHING NEW SO IT'S GETTING TIME TO GO, TIME TO SAY GOODBYE DOCTORS TRIED THEIR BEST, BUT THEY SAY I'M CHECKING OUT NOW I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A HEAVEN OR HELL BUT I GUESS I'LL FIND OUT SOON OR MAYBE THERE'S JUST NOTHING....I'VE ALWAYS HAD MY DOUBTS BUT I HAVE NO REGRETS CAUSE LIFE'S BEEN GOOD TO ME YOU WON'T HEAR NO COMPLAINTS FROM ME AT ALL I'VE BEEN LUCKY, HAD A GOOD TIME, ENJOYED THE SHOW+ BUT NOW IT'S OVER, THE CURTAIN HAS TO FALL SOLO SO THEY SAY IT'S GETTING TIME TO GO, TIME TO SAY GOODBYE THE DOCTORS TRIED THEIR BEST, BUT THEY SAY I'M CHECKING OUT NOW I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A HEAVEN OR HELL BUT I GUESS I'LL FIND OUT SOON OR MAYBE THERE'S JUST NOTHING....I'VE ALWAYS HAD MY DOUBTS BUT THE PARTY HAD TO END SOMETIME, IT CAN'T GO ON AND ON AND I GOTTA GO, MY GOOD TIMES ARE ALL THROUGH SO I'LL SAY GOOD BYE, IT'S ALRIGHT...LIFE'LL GOES ON IT'LL GO ON WITHOUT ME, BUT NOW IT'S ALL UP TO YOU IT'S YOUR WORLD NOW, IT'S ALL UP TO YOU*** Song Summary *********** Title: IT'S TIME TO GO File:IT'S TIME TO GO.MGU Key=C , Tempo 120, Length (m:s)=4:38 4 bar intro, 132 bar chorus, from bar 5 to bar 136.

I had a chuckle at the line “I’m tired of getting stuck with needles” to which I’d reply “Don’t go getting injections NEEDLESsly”. Good song and well considered reflections on aging.

A bit ironically upbeat, I might add. -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

I can relate to those needle lines, brilliant work on the lyrics; I'll be 80 next year. Great work on this one. I arrived early to a restaurant. The manager asks, "do you mind waiting a bit?" I said no. "Good", he said. "Take these drinks to table 3" 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
