This was the third song we recorded after “Stars” and “Systems.” My goal was just to not do anything too sappy.

The idea of “Age Gracefully” was affecting me in the way I thought about my day-to-day life. I’m getting older but I don’t like slowing down and don’t really have any interest in aging gracefully, which my wife told me I need to do. I’m still trying to do all these things I did when I was younger. I’m still hanging out and partying with my kids, which I started doing when they were out of high school until recently. I still go skiing every year and I’m going again very soon. I still ride motorcycles, and overall just act too much like a little kid. Some of the lyrics tap into my philosophical side. The doctors just want to throw pills at you to keep you going, but I have been inspired by listening to guys on Joe Rogan’s show that talk about being a certain age and still pushing it to the limit and doing hard stuff every day. Pills don’t make you better. I believe being active is what makes you feel good and is the key to extending your life. David Ehninger and my son Aidan play guitars on this song. Danny and Dan really lock down the rhythm and Rene’s vocals are just out of sight, as they are on all the songs.
