What Does Growing Up Cost Us? — 6 Songs About Getting Older
I’ve been putting together a series of songs around different themes, and this week I wanted to focus on growing up and getting older.
I picked these six songs because they each look at growing up a little differently:
🎵 “Older” — Alec Benjamin
🎵 “Peter Pan Was Right” — Anson Seabra
🎵 “7 Years” — Lukas Graham
🎵 “Slow It Down” — Felix
🎵 “Goodbye” — Seungmin
🎵 “Deep End” — Felix
For me, Seungmin "Goodbye" hits the absolute hardest of how powerful the lyrics are
I’m curious how other people interpret these songs.
I’d especially love to hear different interpretations, even if you see the songs completely differently than I do.
Which of these songs captures the feeling of growing up the best for you? And if you have another song that you think fits this theme, feel free to share it! I’d love to hear what other people would add to the list.
