You guys really remind me of Crowded House, nice!

'Why Do We Have To Grow Old?', a song from our 'The Great Divide' EP and 2016 Compilation Album.  A song about not wanting to grow up. An acoustic shuffle, almost busking in style, drives along to a catchy Beatles / Paul McCartney style chorus.  Folk / Indie Pop influences include Bob Dylan, Crowded House. An original song by The Red Comets, an alternative rock / indie band from Abergele & Bala, North Wales.  Their sound is quite eclectic and is influenced by bands such as Super Furry Animals, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, The Manic Street Preachers, Pink Floyd, Nick Drake, Coldplay, Radiohead, The Beatles, The Smiths, REM, Neil Young, The Beach Boys, The Doors, Weezer, Nirvana, Super Furry Animals, The Zombies, Small Faces, Weezer, Teenage Fanclub, Big Star & Badfinger.

Lyrics: Long ago I don’t know when
You was Dracula I was Tarzan
I saw you all come to life
In this world you’re all around me
I have been told the man upstairs knows all
This hurts so bad
So I think he should tell me

Why do we have to grow old?
Why do we have to leave home?
It shouldn’t have to be this way
I’m hoping that we’ll meet again

Dreams float like clouds in the sky
Tried to touch them they were too high
I have been told 
The man upstairs knows all
This hurts so bad
So I think he should tell me

Why do we have to grow old?
Why do we have to leave home?
It shouldn’t have to be this way
I’m hoping that we’ll meet again

Instrumental

Why do we have to grow old?
Why do we have to leave home?
It shouldn’t have to be this way
I’m hoping that we’ll meet again

This is a song about the internet and how if you put a million monkeys on typewriters they will rewrite the works of Shakespeare. The internet lies!
