Indeed a very sad song but I see it as a warning. I actually spent time with my grandparents when I was growing up and craved learning something from them. They thought their skills and knowledge were archaic for modern times but i knew they were wrong. I had a feeling that by the time i was an adult I would have use for their knowledge. and i was right. My grandad taught me how to grow a garden, how to train my dog, how to shoot a gun, how to fish, how to drive, how to TALK to people. My grandmother taught me even more about gardening, how to have confidence in myself, how to sew, how to cook, how to love others. I never would have learned any of that from my parents. they were too busy. They didn't even learn any of those things from their own parents. And that brings everything around to how valuable your family is, and the time you spend with them. Your job is not important. It only exists to provide funds to pay bills and buy food....and pay your taxes. Taxes that go to people who don't have families or jobs. But if they did..... they wouldn't need those taxes. Other people are benefitting from the fruits of your labor, everyone except your family. society insists on stealing your children, their childhood, at the age of five. in order to train them to be yet another cog in a machine that only benefits corporations and politicians, NOT families. Why even bother having children at all if you wont or can't raise them yourself? Yes this song is a warning. This old man had a skill that died with him. Now that skill is taken for granted as machines build everything. Machines in oppressive foreign countries where it is impossible to have a family because greedy selfish government demands more until they consume the life of that person. It is a vicious ugly and evil cycle we're all forced to live in. But it's worth it to escape. Turn off your phone or laptop. Go spend time with your kids or grandkids. Go outside, build a fort. play games, relive your childhood. You can still play music though.... i believe music holds the key to time travel. a simple song can send you flying back in time at lightspeed, recalling memories and emotions with a snap of your fingers. Don't let your grandparents skills die with them.
