Old Man

Reprise, under Warner. Old man, look at my life. He is not mocking him.

Reprise released it. Warner holds Reprise. Young sings to an older man, and by the end the distance has collapsed. The needs are the same: someone to love, a life that is not only work. He does not win the comparison.

Play it when a child is angry at a parent and has not yet noticed the rhyme.

At Last

Chess, under Universal. The vow arrives. She does not play it cool.

Chess released it. Universal holds Chess now. The record is the sound of a person who has been looking and is done looking. It does not smirk.

Weddings use it because the sentence is the right size. Use it in the kitchen too, or it becomes a costume.
