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!

                  A Hazy Shade Of Winter - Simon & Garfunkel

                   

                  When this song came out in my youth, I didn’t think the lyrics were about getting older. As I got older, I do believe it can be interpreted that way.

                    As I’ve gotten older, I notice I pay more attention to song lyrics, whereas in youth, not so much.  Maybe quality coming out of radio or record/tape wasn’t as clear as sound quality now, idk, but wished I had paid closer attention to some of them years ago…instead of the beat or the mood.

                      I agree. Lyrics mean much more today. So many things mean more today than in our youth.
