A classic rock ballad. Try as I might to keep The Fab Four out, they snuck in anyway. I'm playing and singing all the music and vocals respectively. Kevin Marcey on drums. The keys are from a $25 yardsale casio.

Story behind the song
Another Year....a birthday song to myself, how vain, lol! I wrote this song a few years ago on a "feelin' down" week as a milestone birthday approached. The day came and went and life went on but I felt better for this songwriting effort. Each year since then I've added something new, remixed, and reposted. My plan is to keep doing this until I run out of ideas or birthdays, which ever comes first, lol. Note: I'm now calling it done. The original single track with acoustic guitar, vocal, and harmonica was done live in the studio just as I would perform this song out. I just set up a single room mic and played away. The intent was to get the song started with the idea of going back and replacing these parts. But as I listened back to it there was a sound that stuck with me. Sometimes you capture a feeling or vibe from the moment that may not be recaptured when redone. So I stayed with the rough demo track with less than pristine acoustic guitar, lip smacks, sloppy harmonica, bumps, and other extraneous noises. I added some bass, keys, and backing vox hoping this would help clean and cover those . I also hope that any listeners will hear past the warts and just feel the vibe of the song as I do.... This year's track additions (and last) are real drums and percussion contributed by Buddrumming (Kevin). I hope you enjoy all the grit along with the spirit of Another Year. Farrell Jackson
Lyrics
Another Year 1. Monday morning Has hit me with a brick I'm feelin' down And I need a fix 2. It feels like a thorn has Embedded in my side All I really want Is a place to hide 3. Too old to be young Too young to be old I'm beginning to think There's no rocks to be rolled (chorus) What do you fear? ( I don't know?) Do you think the end's near? No, I don't really think that much at all What good does it do? ( I don't know?) To sit there and stew? I suppose that it's good to look ahead (harp solo) (Chorus) 4. Too old to be young Too young to be old Another year's counted down And I'm feelin' cold (Repeat first verse) Farrell Jackson © 1-13-10
