For The 30-something Who Still Aches To Boogie

Age, we can't help it. One day we feel like the spring chicken is gone from the body and soul. Some signs will not be subtle - eye bags, the need for 7 hours sleep, running but having a young thing speed past you. One major change that many an aging 20-something or 30-something lost in denial may face is less time partying. Mature folk like to sit down and have a drink and talk, blah blah. The death of the party animal. In most cases, the ring on the fourth finger and the patter of little feet will kill any semblance of what we knew to be parties and dancing. More signs include searching for adult contemporary music at the record stores. Or listening exclusively to Class 95.

Well, Calvin Harris has done up a dance record explaining the problem. In simple words, he says

Can you stay up for the weekend and blame God for looking too old
Can you find all that you stand for has been replaced with mountains of gold
You cannot dream yourself to notice to feel pain and swallow fear
But can you stay up for the weekend till next year
God i can’t do this any more though ill be laid down on the floor
As many feet walk through the door, I'm not alone
If i see a light flashing could this mean that I’m coming home
If i see a man waving, does this mean that I’m not alone

Yes, not alone. What a freaking awesome song. Those who know me better know that i dig electronic music, and this record will go down as one of the best of 2009, already no1 in the UK. Now watch the video.

Thanks Kim for getting the single from the good old London town.
