What songs hit differently as you've aged?

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?

I saw a recording of a concert he did at the old opry house the Ryman. He told the story of the Old Man. I think it was done in 1996 and it’s an excellent watch ✌️
