    Those are dad rock now? I grew up with many of those… I’m a dad now but I thought dad rock is Metallica, ACDC, Led Zeppelin, Hurriganes, et cetera

        Pink Floyd did it:

        Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day

        You fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way

        Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town

        Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

        Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain

        And you are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today

        And then one day you find ten years have got behind you

        No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

        And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it’s sinking

        Racing around to come up behind you again

        Sun is the same, in a relative way, but you’re older

        Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

        Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time

        Plans that either come to naught, or half a page of scribbled lines

        Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way

        The time is gone, the song is over, thought I’d something more to say

        I saw them open for… Unearth I believe? I had never heard In Flames before that show. LOVED them.
