Liner Notes

Contemplating time, and the way it flies by. I have been using GarageBand again to create tracks that are unique. Quite pleased with this one. I think I should coin a new word…#sheezer

Lyrics

Getting Older

[Verse 1]
I can waste a day
Before the day began
sitting and waiting
for something to 'other than'.
[Chorus]
getting along and getting old
are two different things
Living life and counting years
The world spins and spins

[Prechorus]
I watch the hours pass
Like leaves in the autumn wind
Each one a memory made
Of places I have been.
[Verse 3]
Morning light breaks through
Chasing shadows from my mind
I trace the lines on my face
And the stories they unwind.

[Chorus]
Getting on and getting old
Are two different sights
Living life and counting years
In the fading light.
[Prechorus]
[Verse 4]
The days blend into nights
A cycle that never ends
But in the quiet moments
I find solace with my friends.
[Chorus]
Getting on and getting old
Are two different sights
Living life and counting years
In the fading light.
Prechorus
[Verse 5]
Dreams of younger days
Linger softly in my heart
They remind me where I've been
And how far I've come apart.
[Outro]
So I'll embrace the time
Each wrinkle and each line
For in this dance of life
There's beauty in the climb.

The OUTRO sums up the perfect attitude about aging! Very relatable lyrics. I enjoyed the insight and perspective that you share. Nice reflective pacing and phrasing for the lovely vocal delivery that the music compliments well.

The stuttering filter effect on the keys gives a nice rhythm in the absence of percussion -- I like how things pick up neatly after the pre-chorus.
Had to listen again, as I'd "missed" the lyrics whilst concentrating on the sounds! [Can't multi-task 🙂]. They're thoughtful reflections, nice how they work well with the overall sound.

Great intro! The pre-chorus really stands out to me - and those sparkles under it elevate the kind of dreamy feel you have going. For me it is like a fantastic bridge I get to hear multiple time - great departure. Fantastic sentiment in your song - wonderful lyrics. The outro really stand out too. I really enjoyed your song.

Enjoying those vocal effects. And the sounds of waking up. Was watching a demo and the host was praising the use of everyday sounds into our songs. Well done!
