Don't want to be old

(Howard Aronson)

Who wants to get old, right! One thing is for sure, we are all going to die. The sooner that we come to grips with that, we can move on and have a very happy life no matter what. Me being so athletic all my life and now being 62, I'm starting to feel some of the pains, the aches, and my body slowing down. I still train, and work out like I was in my twenties, and I'm even a professional Mountain guide, and hike with people a lot younger than me in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, which is a pretty tough place to hike. I don't want to get old, I don't want to be old! But there's nothing I can do about it, it is what it is, and I'm beginning to accept that, and embrace it. I'm very grateful, and very lucky to still be alive.

I don't want to be old
I feel life has passed me by
It gets me so down
I think I'm gonna cry

I can't change the past
Gotta live in the present
I must forgive myself
And stop the resentment

Time to be grateful
And feel the happiness
Give myself a break
From self induced stress

I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
Time to feel good inside
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
Time to feel good Inside

Resilience

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about finding self-preservation, resilience. For so long I never knew I had it, or the ability to cope. I continue to relapse with drugs and alcohol over my situations, my shortcomings, just basically through the struggles of life. But I've always picked myself back up off the ground and continue the journey of life. I guess it was the inner strength that I had, you know the resilience. Sometimes you don't know you have it until you really take a look at yourself and reflect on the past and how you survived. You have to search within, and be honest with yourself, and no that you really are a strong person

Look into the sky

By Howard Aronson

You know how people say look into the sky for the answers, well that was the basis behind this song. If I look into the sky I see fire, and then darkness as our world continues to implode. All the lies in the seat that goes on, the rich that keep getting richer the poor that keep getting poorer, it's terrible. Yeah this song is full of depression, but it's just the way it is these days. We've got a worldwide pandemic, inflation throughout the world countries that want to invade other countries, and on and on it goes. There's not even going to be any baseball this year, LOL

Relocate

By Howard Aronson

This song is about chances. I had many of them when I was younger, and I used to think that if I lived in one place and I had a lot of problems all I had to do is relocate to get rid of them and start over. But that isn't always the case. Has one friend told me once your problems are like the mail, and wherever you go that forwarded to you. I've stopped believing in relocating, as I know it won't do me any good at this point in my life. I've lived in the town that I am in for 16 years. I really enjoy being here, and for most of the time that I've lived here I've been sober. I had a little setback over 2 years ago, but now two years sober I'm grateful that I've gotten a lot of things in my life back that I love. Obviously I love to write, I love learning how to play the drums, and most of all I love hiking and guiding in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, one of the toughest places to hike in the world. If you ever get to New england, come look me up at Redline guiding in North Conway New hampshire. I'll take you on a hike that you'll never forget. I'm so grateful to be in this position, and this might be my last chance, so I can't waste it.

Clogged

By Howard Aronson

This song is about being ADHD. So many thoughts running through my head all at once, and seemingly no way to straighten them out and put them in order. I've lived like this since I was little, and now being 62 it's still affects me in many negative ways. I tried to be much more aware of these thoughts, and challenges, but there are times when I just can't manage them. These are times when I have to be extra vigilant, or I could really screw my life up again. When I get to these thoughts, when my head is "clogged", I'm in a danger zone, and need to figure out how to clear it.

Call You Mine

By Karianne Gabaldon

A love song about once hating the skin you’re in but now that you’ve found true love and their name has imprinted on your skin, your completely content with the skin you’re in, because they own your skin now, and you’d do anything for them… right?

The Abyss

By Edward McBride

This song is about a guy whose wife suddenly dies; they had no kids. He starts to drink excessively and spirals downwards, losing his home. He has no other family near him, and he hits the bottom --the abyss. He finds the inner strength to change as he knows it is a long road back. He has the shakes; he sees the demons and screams out because he thinks that they are coming to get him. After a long haul he has climbed the abyss.
