What it is
"When I'm Sixty-Four" is a song from the Beatles' 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, credited to Lennon–McCartney; Paul McCartney wrote it when he was about 14. A young man sings to his partner about growing old together. A prominent clarinet trio was added, which George Martin said McCartney requested to keep the song from becoming too sentimental.
