@[fanofoldies:5454] I think (as an older person myself) this song's wonderfully empathic with the plight of that person entering the "winter of her life" and seeing that "patch of snow on the ground." Not quite Dylan Thomas' "rage against the dying of the light," but very close. |

@[Schroedinger:5452] I agree from a different perspective - the "rockier approach" goes with how older people are rejecting decrepitude as a lifestyle - so that "60 is the new 40." Many of us who are entering our sixth decade of life don't really FEEL ready to give up. We still want to rock. |

@[Deadink:5451] I agree. And it was unusually empathic and insightful into how older people feel... when their bodies begin to die on them. and they see that "patch of snow on the ground" heralding the winter of their lives. |

@[butterflykiss84:5447] That's odd, I heard "Carry a gun in your hand" too! But "Carry a cup in your hand" goes with "Hear the Salvation Army Band Down by the riverside It's bound to be a better ride Than what you've got planned... " Because that cup could be for a Salvation Army soup line (or something). |
