If you're of a certain age and you grew up in the UK then you might identify with some of this.

EDIT: new link. Shorter second guitar solo, some phrases re-sung with improved diction, cello added to first bridge, other minor tweaks.

The reverb is a bit much for me and 5 minutes tests my short attention

Yeah I did wonder if it was a bit long. I'm still pondering that one, and I don't normally go in for the wall of sound approach but it seems to fit the topic quite well IMO ?

personally, I would nix the drum until :58

I was going for the Beatles' "Long Long Long" effect ?

at 228, maybe put in a cello for perc

Splendid idea ?

but the days are not gone

That's the point of the story being told; the guy is lamenting the often mundane and absurd aspects of his life because he is dying, so his days are gone and the realisation has hit him hard.

I don't know what "tmi" means I'm afraid.

Nice work Keith - great nostalgia trip.

Green Shield Stamps - how were they ever a thing?

I shudder to think what the glue was made of you had to lick to stick them in the book. Something long since banned and found to be a carcinogen no doubt. ?
