Frogtoon Music - Song Info: When You Are Old

«When I Was In High-School Yeats Was One Of My Favorite Poets And This Particular Poem ‘When You Are Old’. Whenever I Had A Huge Crush On Someone In High-School The Crushes I Had Were Always Unreciprocated. So I Would Put Joy Division On My Headphones And I Would Ride My Bike Around Town Because I Didn’t Have A Drivers License And Think About How Sad I Was That This Person I Loved Didn’t Love Me Back. And Then I Read ‘When You Are Old’ And Embodied That Perfectly. So It Was My Favorite Poem When I Was Growing Up And I Still Really Like It. This Last Piece Of Music Originally Wasn’t Going To Be On The Record But It’s Short And Simple And I Really Liked It So I Kind Of Tagged In On To The End Of The Record. For Those Few People Who Will Listen To The Album From Start To Finish I Wanted To Try And Make A Book-Ended Cohesive Emotional Experience. And I Felt Like This Short Song ‘When You Are Old’ Was Kind Of A Perfect Dénouement To The Album.» Thelittleidiot
