I turned 40 this year, so obviously I wasn't going to let that go by without writing a song about it. Special thanks to Melvin Duffy for his pedal steel, and to John Hare, and Foz for their horn section work.
lyrics
Oh it's just another day, isn't that what people say
When the drifting sands of time begin to drift away
I'm disguising how I feel, pretending it's not real
Refusing to acknowledge my diminishing appeal
Oh it's just another day, that's all that I can say
Coz the cracks have started showing and my beard is turning grey
And I'm grumpy all the time, and I've switched from beer to wine
Ageing is the punishment if living is the crime
It's age old age dilemma, the game we all must play
We can't go on forever, but it's just another day
I'm settled in my ways, stagnated in this phase
Of life but I'm ok with that, it's just me nowadays
See I prefer my local pub to a noisy late night club
I'm just old enough to know by now exactly what I love
Oh it's just another day, a gradual decay
Life is just a loan and it's a debt we have to pay
So celebrate your birth with levity and mirth
Make the most of everyday you spend upon this earth

I can't wait to hear this.
And for such a good cause too. Can't set a favourite track yet, but sure they are all lovely and wonderful.
