I first heard “The Aging Man” by The Great Discord in 2016 while working nights as a sysadmin babysitting a small server farm.
The accoustic intro starting with rain and a piano with a bass guitar coming in didn’t prepare me for the onslaught that came with contralto Fia Kempe’s vocals. And being an aging man (or at least a somewhat masculine enby) myself, the lyrics hit home as well.
It's guiding my end Leave me, I like The quiet, the calm Good wishes leave me cold So, let me be (The) Time I have left I'll spend alone, Down in the darkness
I highly recommend the rest of their album, Duende, but good luck getting a copy on CD.
