This album is also a reminder why we need artists who are producing art about the experiences of getting older.
There's a lot of ageism in people's responses to music, as if the performers should strut around in their youth and vigour, singing about angst and sex, and go away when they begin to remind us that we all get old - if we're lucky.
From End Song:
I'm outside in the dark
wondering
how I got so old

@TG_Esq@mastodon.online @TheEddieShow@beige.party This is true, but also worth noting Robert has been singing about getting old and winding down since he was 30.
