It must have been a while ago when we talk about "fellow lockdowners" in the intro ... I'm guessing during pandemic times?

The song was pretty good, had a nice feel to it - but the lyrics were understandably pretty bleak (I guess that was the pandemic influence?), I liked the finishing line "old age will come to you", because I don't think that everyone gets that concept.

Cheers

Grah1, I like this one, very reflective and how many people in this world of ours feel like at various times of their lives.  Like neophytte, I thought possibly written around covid times?  However, it could apply to any time when people go through loneliness at certain stages of life, or circumstances.  Nice one Grah1.

It was written pre covid when we came back to live in the UK and saw how ageist it was compared to the Mediterranean where there is a lot more respect shown to the older genre and vice versa.But the vid was made during lock down as one of my daily broadcasts.     Thanks for the comments I always appreciate them.

Nice one easybeat, comments left on soundcloud.   Nice easy foot tapping beat to this one, very pleasant listening.  And as I said on Soundcloud, I miss receiving and writing those old-fashioned letters, prefer to emails any day.

i thought I'd left some comments on SoundCloud, but ti seems I didn't ... and I can't remember what my comments were now .... I'm sure it was something about a good song, then I rabbited on about something to do with letters, that was the guts of it ...

Cheers
