When he says "Soon I'll be 60 years old, my daddy got 61, remember life and then your life becomes a better one" my band teacher explained it like this... He is 60 and his dad lived until 61, which infers he doesn't have much time left on earth. So when you think about life and remember the past you realize how valuable the gift of life is and you appreciate it more, ultimately making decisions that make for a better life.
