about

oof aging. it's happening. it can be hard and strange to see your face and body change, especially in a land that emphasizes a youthful appearance as the goal. fear of becoming invisible.
some fight it. some pay to change things. some surrender. some rock it.
I wrote a song about it.

Adam Minkoff added some sweet guitar, piano, organ and bass.

"I think women are tired of the idea that you can’t get old and be beautiful..." Andie MacDowell

lyrics

tighten up
keep it young
age is just a number
hide the lines
exercise
free your thighs of thunder

stop the clock
it's too soon
eyes are locked
on endless youth

beauty's where
you find it
can we get
together, together on it

face will change
skin will hang
can't fight it forever

we can't fix
what's not wrong
beauty's in the breakdown

gravity
can't be beat
when will we surrender
dust to dust
is glorious
we all just disappear

so hold my hand
take it slow
we're still here
let's be bold
we can just grow old
