Let's Get Old / The Blue Hearts

Wouldn’t it be cool and stylish to sing a song with a bluesy vibe? The one I’d like to introduce is “Let’s Get Older.” As the title suggests, it’s a song that depicts the passage of time as we grow older.

Through that portrayal, it conveys that there are bonds that don’t change with age and that people gain depth and character as they get older.

By the way, the interlude is mainly harmonica and runs a bit long, so you can catch your breath and be ready for the latter half.
