Songs of Getting Older

 

I looked this topic up and the thread was closed to replies. I thought to reinstate the thread and might have a chance for posting on a new thread with this new board. 

Any song about being old, getting old or youth is wasted (lol). Have fun!

“Grow Old With Me” by Tom Odell.
This 2013 indie folk tune reflects the earnest hope of a young lover who seeks to spend the rest of his days with the one he loves most in this world. He forecasts outward changes of their greying hair as well as their aging hands and bodies. However, he seeks to share all that life has to offer with her.
