The Songs About Getting Older
""Hope I die before I get old," sang 21-year-old Roger Daltrey in 1965โand 43 years later, he's still singing it. Rock 'n' roll has always been invested in a Byronic cult of blazing youth and beautiful corpses. But as tyros have turned into reunion-tour warhorses, rockers have had to come to terms with the ironiesโand the indignities and the gloriesโof old age."
What are the songs that talk about getting older, looking back, etc?

And now you're even older
And now you're even older
And now you're even older.
You're older than you've ever been
And now you're even older,
And now you're older still.
And time... is still marching on.
And now it's even sooner
And now it's even sooner
And now it's even sooner
This day will soon be at an end
And now it's even sooner
And now it's sooner still.
And now you're even older
And now you're even older
And now you're even older.
You're older than you've ever been
And now you're even older,
And now you're older still.

It might not be obvious at first; but this really is about getting older. Also, it exemplifies the difference between intentional distortion (fuzz guitar) and unintentional distortion (lack of clarity) in music. This song has subtle nuanced sound effects that can't be appreciated with unintentional distortion (playback or recorded). It requires High Fidelity/clarity/quality sound reproduction to discern the difference between non-musical sounds and noise. It's a very good song.

Life's Like A River - Scorpions
As years are passing by
Silence becomes your friend
You see the world in a different way
Don't be afraid of getting old
Life's still full of joy
And the beauty of the past is rejoicing your mind
When days are getting short
And winter comes along
Your life slows down and down
Like a river is getting wide
The worlds have lost their voice
You remember your morning flowing to the endless sea
Life's like a river in the mountain
Life's like a sea without end
Songwriters: Corina Fortmann, Rudolf Schenker, Uli John Roth
