Original Scratch Track: "I Will Grow Old" (Steemit exclusive)
Recorded this quickly today and played with the harmonies a bit. Nothing remotely done yet, but nice to share it with you in its early idea stage. Hope you enjoy! I know it's about aging and passing away, but it's not really a sad song to me. It's serious and thoughtful and peaceful: a courageous resignation to reality that calls us to live fully and ask the deep questions we often miss in the dailies of our lives.
I Will Grow Old
I will grow old like my mother’s mother
I will grow lines like the roads I’ve travelled
I will grow old like the weathered willow
I will stand tall then fade away
I will grow old like my mother’s mother
I will join the hidden in the ground
I will grow quiet like all who’ve left us
The same wind will erode the dirt that will bury me
I will grow old like my mother’s mother
I will grow lines like the roads I’ve travelled
I will grow old like the weathered willow
I will stand tall then fade away
xx,
Kay
