Your music? I'm reaching an age where I'm losing contemporaries and nudged to look back at my own past. There is a mix of many good memories and some painful regrets. The song is a profound commentary on aging; like something Solomon would have written in Proverbs or Ecclesiastes. It just randomly popped up in my KZbin feed yesterday, and I think I was the second viewing. I'll probably play it another 100 times.

Hi Jay, thank you so much. My Dad is 87 now, golfs twice a week. I wrote the song as I looked at the pictures of him, just a boy of 18 years and his whole future ahead of him, and the wonderful friends he made, many of whom are gone now.
