Yeah,let the mystery be. A cool quirky and pointed song CW.

Your way with lyrics is astonishing!  And musically so fun and creative!

I'm enjoying the lyrics on this one Chris. Catchy tune as well.

Thought the guitar fills were nice. Very original lyrics

Enjoy your reflective lyrics. You remind me at times of Ringo Starr (not voice) but upbeat lyrics that have some behind the scene meaning.

the mystery has been sloved, but I think no one can solve it for you. it really is up to each human being to solve the answer. however, the answer is not subjective...

this reminds me of the poppy side of Todd Rundgren's Utopia

HARMONY VOCAL: FOG CITY FOGEY

A question from the dawn of time
Why are we here
Where's reason and rhyme 
Many have pondered
And ages passed
Still that question’s asked

I don’t know is my only answer
It doesn’t mean much to me
All I hear is pretentious banter
I'm content for it to be
An unsolved mystery

Scientists have a theory or two
They look at facts and then review
I march straight ahead with no recall
When I trip why do I fall?

I don’t know will be my one answer
And if God himself should ask me
I’d say “I do the best that I can, sir”
And I’m content to be
An unsolved mystery

While others
Probe deep and wide
I skim the surface
It’s a smoother ride

So I pause to reflect
The briefest pause
It’s brief because
Well as I said, because

I don’t know if there’s any answer
I doubt that one would satisfy
Stop the dance and you’re not a dancer
Is there any need to ask why?

So keep the music playing
Kick your feet lustily
You know you’re only delaying
What is meant to be
As life remains 
Life remains
An unsolved mystery

Sexagenarian III

Unsolved Mystery

NOTICE: I DO NOT PAY FOR PROMOTION. EVER.

SPOTLIGHT:  It's June and time to bring out the 2024 edition of my PRIDE playlist. Meanwhile, "Old Age' joins the previous songs in Sexagenarian Volume V, which is now half complete with 6 of the planned 12 tracks. Meanwhile Sexagenarian Volume I reached its belated completion with the addition of the 12th track, "The Last Laugh." Look for Sexagenarian Volumes II, III and IV in my Playlist section.

BIO: I started writing songs in high school (1969-1973!) and I've pretty much never stopped. These are mostly solo recording projects (my brother, Fog City Fogey, contributes sometimes).  I don't do much self-promotion, not a fan of Repost Exchange etc, so all of you who find this page and like a song or two - you are truly appreciated!
