Mid-Life Crisis Songs #103: When I Was A Young Man

If you look closely at the picture above, you might be able to make out a flock of geese flying south for the winter in V formation. My camera wasn't really up to capturing it, but whenever I see a migration such as this, I feel rather humbled. Kind of puts my daily commute into perspective, much as I like to grumble about it.

A number of my fellow bloggers have waxed lyrical about the latest long player by former Go-Between Robert Forster. 

Here's Walter...

And here's The Blogfather himself...

I've a feeling someone else has also sung its praises, but aging memory, etc. etc. Apologies if it was you.

Anyway, it's a great record. Deeply personal, largely dealing with his wife Karin's battle with ovarian cancer and how that affected them both, but the gentlemen above have covered this much better than I could.

The closing track is the one I keep coming back to though, as the perfect Mid-Life Crisis tune. It's about looking back on your life without regret, only contentment. That's what I'm trying for.
