Fresh of his trilogy concluding album ‘Outlast’, arguably his strongest and most mature record; ‘As I’m Getting Older’ asks what’s next for the songwriter who has been a performing artist for more than a decade.
Produced by band members Tejas, Jehangir “JJ” Jehangir and Adil Kurwa, and recorded at Island City Studios, it features the core band on all production duties, with backing vocals by Mallika Barot. Mixed by Jehangir Jehangir and mastered by Shawn Hatfield at Audible Oddities.
lyrics
I've been staring at my own feet,
Wondering where they'll take me next
I've been measuring my heartbeat,
I don't suppose it knows me best?
Where the wind blows I won't know yet,
It keeps following me around
Now it's serving up a storm,
And Em won't find me now
So, I don't know,
Where I'm supposed to go,
But as I'm getting older,
It feels like I've been chosen,
Chosen
Who thought you and I would go on forever?
I've been hungry but I won't eat,
Cause I've been feeding me a lie
A sentimental story,
Of a spirit left confined
So, I don't know,
Where I'm supposed to go,
But as I'm getting older,
Feels like I've been chosen
To go further and further
We can't ever know,
Where we're supposed to go,
And never know,
How we get there
