The lead vocal was by Robin Gibb, joined by Barry Gibb on the chorus. This track was a rock number but near the end of the song, this track gets slower and featured the orchestral arrangement of Bill Shepherd.

Background

Along with "To Love Somebody" this track was not dated but was recorded around April 1967. It was recorded at Ryemuse Studios in London rather than IBC Studios.{{cite web|url=http://www.columbia.edu/~brennan/beegees/67.html |title=Gibb Songs : 1967 |website=Columbia.edu |date= |accessdate=2016-09-30}} where the rest of the album was done.

The first verse was sung a cappella while a lengthy cadenza was sung after the last chorus.

The song concerns ageing and an old man in a nursing home.
