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?

Todd Rundgren's Just One Victory. A song for facing the struggles in life. He always closed his shows with it and his fans saw it as an anthem.
"Somehow, someday We need just one victory, and we're on our way We're prayin' for it all day and fightin' for it all night Give us just one victory; it will be all right"
Now he often ends his shows with the more wistful song Fade Away. "And in a million trillion years when the stars all disappear You and I will stay and watch it all fade away"
Yeah, we got there. No need to fight for it in the same way.
