Description
It's another exercise in orchestral excess.
I'm not happy with the vocals (perhaps a little too dramatic??) and parts of the arrangement but it's nearly there.
The waster who sang Well Fair State ( http://www.macjams.com/song/28754 ) is nearing the end of his life. He's alone in his council flat never having given or received love. Unfortunately it's not regret he feels but resentment and bitterness. The middle section is a brief glimpse into his childhood where, for some reason, it all went wrong.
The message is simple - All You Need is Love :)
Cheers

Nobody Loves You When You're Old (Hobbs/Langford) © AmokOpera 2007
Nobody loves you when you're old
Let's talk about the good old days
Before the bluebirds flew away
And left the sky so flat and grey
Endless summer, wasted youth
Endless summer, what's the use?
The world just loves to eat its young
Chews them up and spits them out
Flying high sweet bird of youth
Up above the cold hard ground
Here comes the winter
Here comes the cold
Nobody loves you when you get old
When the children come to call
Love's in such short supply
Hardly talk to you at all
How long before you die?
How did you get here
You'll never know
Wasted youth
So long ago
You feel so young inside your head
But your body lets you down
It won't be long before you're dead
Down in that cold hard ground
You could have loved them
If truth be told
Nobody loves you when you get old
(©Hobbs/Langford)
Nobody loves you when you're old
Let's talk about the good old days
Before the bluebirds flew away
And left the sky so flat and grey
Endless summer, wasted youth
Endless summer, what's the use?
The world just loves to eat its young
Chews them up and spits them out
Flying high sweet bird of youth
Up above the cold hard ground
Here comes the winter
Here comes the cold
Nobody loves you when you get old
When the children come to call
Love's in such short supply
Hardly talk to you at all
How long before you die?
How did you get here
You'll never know
Wasted youth
So long ago
You feel so young inside your head
But your body lets you down
It won't be long before you're dead
Down in that cold hard ground
You could have loved them
If truth be told
Nobody loves you when you get old

big production plus big ideas = big sound! great composition. i kinda see what you mean about the vocals. the softer vocal section is good though. totally enjoyed this!
