about

‘Old and Grey’ is the second of 3 singles to be released from his upcoming project ‘Pencil In Regret’. This song is a good example of Seán’s musical style; whimsical melodies, bright arrangements, all the while throwing in a few genuine lyrics. This song is a reminder to make the most of your life before it’s too late, and you become ‘Old and Grey’.

“Growing up I always got the impression that the younger generation is supposed to be flexible, the people that roll with the punches as it were, and that much of your younger life is made up of jumping through hoops, making the best out of situations with the hope of landing on your feet. However, I soon realized that people can become cynical at any age. This song should act as a reminder that if you want something in life, you are likely the only person that can make it happen, the motto being ‘Give it a shot, I bet you’ll be alright.”

lyrics

Look at me, I’m old and grey
Look at me, you best believe I got something to say
Don’t let your life waste away
Listen to me, I’m old and grey

You’ve seen love, from the side
Yeah you’ve seen love but you ain’t ever tried
Don’t let your life, waste away
Listen to me, I’m old and grey

And someday down the line, you may ask yourself
Yes, someday in time, you may wonder why, you never tried

Don’t let regret lead your life
Don’t be so shy you got nothing to hide
Give it a shot I bet you’ll be alright
Oh please, don’t waste your life
Oh please, don’t waste your life

Don’t tell me, that it can’t be
Oh no don’t talk to me so seriously
Of all the things that ruin your fun
Relax a bit, get things done

Let’s be real, what can you say
When all you do is look for others to blame
For all those dreams, that never became
You can’t fool me, I’m old and grey

And someday down the line, you may ask yourself
Yes, someday in time, you may wonder why, you never tried

Don’t let regret lead your life
Don’t be so shy you got nothing to hide
Give it a shot I bet you’ll be alright
Oh please, don’t waste your life
Oh please, don’t waste your life
Oh please, don’t waste your life
