Here we have the latest single from Anthony’s album Pilgrimage To the Sea, where he says he is not getting any younger, something I can really relate to given I am 60 in just a few months and certainly act a lot more than I used to. Mind you, I don’t think every day is the same, which is the same for Anthon who yearns to be younger. Musically this is a pop number that has had additional keyboards and beats layered on top of what was (I think) originally performed on acoustic guitar. There are times when the accompaniment is very much to the fore and the chorus is repeated quite frequently, and the result is something which sounds as if it was all performed by Anthony, with little room for the song to breathe in a simpler form. There is a nice key change near the end, which injects some brightness, but the keyboards are quite dated, and it would be interesting to hear this in a more stripped down format as for me they are quite overpowering.
Rating: 5/10
