I think most people forget certain parts of the song. Besides it being a self contained song, "Will [he] still love [her] when [she's] no longer young and beautiful" it has the part about the aching soul. Love is love. Attraction is attraction. Two separate entities all together. I look at me and my girlfriend. 60 years from now, will she be "attractive" having aged and all? Probably won't be the definition, or even remotely close, of attractive, but I will still love her. This is where the aching soul part comes in. You have the physical attributes that make you want someone. Then you find their person, their soul to complete the rest. You fall in love. But we all have issues, mistakes, regrets, etc.. When the beauty fades, all you still have left with you are said issues, mistakes, regrets, etc.. We all have to be realistic in the overall mating ritual that is man, we see first, then we approach and then we get to know them. That's just he way it is. So that said, without the first thing that made them approach you, that drove them to you, all gone, and you are left with just mistakes, memories, regrets, maybe some hurting that you did to them, or hurting that they did to you, will there still be love? Narrator, LDR, understands it so too."All that grace, all that body All that face, makes me wanna party" I do find it fascinating though that she want him to be that way into death. Maybe without those good looks, the shell that remains no longer make her want to party?
