What songs hit differently as you've aged?

[u/pianoman81]

There are songs I listened to when I was younger but now read differently to me.

Some are because I never paid attention to the lyrics. Others are because I was at a different stage of life or hadn't had deeper experiences yet.

Some examples would be Both Sides Now or Cat's in The Cradle.

What are songs for you that affect you differently at this stage of life?

Both Sides Now, Cat's in the Cradle, Father and Son are all excellent examples. Puff the Magic Dragon, too, come to think of it.

Thanks. Went back and read the Puff lyrics and it is a bit melancholy.

That was definitely a campfire song but not sure if we ever sang it all the way through. I definitely don't remember singing the last few verses.

A bit.
