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!

To the good old days When we all were young

To the love we shared May our songs be sung

To the times ahead May we all forgive

To the good old days May they always live

 

To The Good Old Days - Dennis DeYoung with Julian Lennon

Bubbles Up - Jimmy Buffett

 

Released a week after he passed from cancer. About growing older while facing the end, getting by, survival and dealing with grief. The term Bubbles Up is from scuba survival traing in the water, knowing that bubbles go up. Telling you where to go to make it. Beautiful song.

It’s such a poignant song.  I’ve been to many of his concerts. Miss him so much.   Recently, have been going to several of Mac McAnally’s concerts where he speaks of Jimmy throughout, for all those that remember and miss him.  There’s a kinship and feeling of great loss still.  When Mac plays this one, I always well up.  Incredibly helpful song.  🫧🫧🫧🫧
