I'm 48 years old chased money all my life been rich been poor. Never been so stressed than when I had money in the bank.
Now I don't have much but I have everything I want. I'm the Richest I've ever been.
Your time is the most precious thing you own and give remember that as it cost me 40 years working it out. I'm no slave to money

He sings this with a voice that only the heartache this song has caused him could’ve created.

Hearing this first at 20 and then 22 years later, man, the song is suddenly heavy with meaning and relevance.

[badmy]

This studio's sound is unbelievably professional!!

[luckyotter]

The arrangement gives this iconic '90s song a 1970s vibe. I love it!

[Ericgen]

I will never understand how this song can be listened like a 1000 times and never get old...this chords, this lyrics, this melody...everything fits so great. And once you get the meaning, well, it is really bitter and sweet at the same time <3
