At age 75, am I the oldest one here still making songs?

Post by feaker66 » Tue Mar 05, 2024 9:33 am

All my music friends and former band members have lost interest in making or performing songs. I joined taxi years ago and there were many still putting out tracks. Just wondering if I might be the old guy here?
I put together a song about a guy observing a rich girl (diva) and.. my mind took over. This one is just weird with little structure. Most likely not sung about before.

Diva

Yur a diva that’s ok I’m right here to save the day Em…Gm verse 1
Come with me we’ll walk away..I’ve got plans for you Em…E

Come down… off yur throne .. must be lonely up there on yur own E A B
Pampered privileged… ya never worked a day F#m C#m A F7
Ya can not recall a time you didn't get yur way A Cm7 A B E

I’ve watched you strut from store to store G pre chorus
bags of clothes ..that'll never be worn
chauffeur pulls up opens your door seems yur life’s a bor G D

You and I so different I’m just cur-e-us G A D Bm
What’s goin on inside that pretty head G A D chorus
I fix things and you buy rings… seems we’re far apart G A D Bm
but all that matters what’s inside our hearts G A D

Yur a diva that’s so true.. yur so spoiled I bet you knew Em..Gm
Hope your old life might be through cuz I got plans for you Em.D

I betcha if ya come with me I’ll open yur eyes E A B verse 2
a bar.. a beer..a tasty burger. and fries F#m C#m A F7
We’ll take a walk and people watch.compare our different lives
Nothing to accomplish…nothing to decide A Cm7 A B E

Chances are.. pretty slim.. I’ll like yur ways that you’ll fit in G
Same for you.. a culture shock..my bad or do I rock

You and I so different I’m just cur-e-us G A D Bm GA D
What’s goin on inside that pretty head G A D
I fix things and you buy rings..seems we’re far apart
but all that matters what’s inside our hearts
Thankfully, while growing old is compulsory, growing up remains optional!

If the muse is still striking you, why not keep going?
Like has been said by other old guys who were asked, "Why don't you retire?"
Replying: "I'd rather wear out than rust out."

You still got a ways to go to catch up to McCartney.
:? :shock: 8-) :P
