"Grow Old With Me" on the upcoming John Lennon cover album, "Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur" which goes on sale June 12.

I'm not familiar with this song, I'll have to give it a listen.

Some interesting choices on the bands...Avril Lavigne gets "Imagine?" WTF? Green Day? Black Eyed Peas? Christina Aguilera? If only John were alive today...

On the bright side, they have: The Flaming Lips, Snow Patrol, Matisyahu, Ben Harper, U2, R.E.M., and Aerosmith.

the grow old with me cover has been around for a year or something. It was on some yoko ono thing for amnesty international.

Eh, I've never heard of it. Oh well, it's still got some good bands on it.

I can upload it later if you want, it's ok, it's just weird hearing such a downbeat postal service song and the vocals get stretched.

That would be nice! It's probably the only song I'll want off that album anyway...

yeah its been around for a looooong time, i had to buy it from amnesty international, its a nice sweet song, but in all honesty, not really great for postal service, like james said, its really downbeat, its alittle so soft all around. the electric tones or whatever you will call them, arnt nearly as complex as any other postal service song, still nice to have in the collection though

personally I really love it. its simple and mellow but it really takes me in.
its definitely different from jimmy's usual programming, but i like it. very sparse.
