Love this tune ever since I was a young cub Forrest. Maybe that doesn’t make me old but Christ there’s times I feel old and I’m certainly long past being young.
What age group does middle aged cover ?

Oh and that video, a lot of famous faces there. I was saying to myself that your man in the glasses looks a bit like Tom Hanks but it’s not.

No, definitely not !

Middle age is 45 - 64, Barney.
Fred Armisen is the guy with the glasses.
It's a totally gorgeous song and I love it too 😍
