I will go with "Life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone" from John Mellencamp's "Jack & Diane".

I'm starting to understand my grandparents,
Once you've "been there & done that" enough, life gets pretty boring and the less impressed you are by people & things.

Eazy. I was 8 and this was popular.

"Cum on Feel the Noize."

To your point, I can't for the life of me understand why 18-30 yr old me couldn't skip a good time at the bar or club. I'd drive from Tigerland to Nola or Lafayette at 2am to party until 7am. I never missed a party back then.
18 years later. I have to be dragged out of the house to the bar or restaurant when a friend is in town or a birthday party is planned. And I'm done by 9pm. We absolutely have been there and done that.

I resonate with that song as well as Cats in the Cradle now.

Lately, all of "Like a Rock."
But especially..
"Twenty years now...
where'd they go?
Twenty years now,
I don't know,
I sit and I wonder sometimes
where they've gone..."

Stop, drop, KABOOM!, baby rub on ya nipples
Some call me Ludacris, some call me Mr. Wiggles
Far from little, make ya mammary glands giggle
Got 'em under control, the bowl of tender biddles
Doc-tor giggles, I can't stop until it tickles
Just play a little D and I'll make ya mouth dribble
Bits and Kibbles, got 'em all after the pickle
I swing it like a bat, but these balls are not whiffle
Hit 'em in triples, wit no strikes, stripes, or whistles
I ain't felt this good, since my wood lived off a thistle
Sippin' some ripple, I got quarters, dimes, and nickels
For shizzle dizzle, I'm on a track with the Big Snoop Dizzle
Let the Henny trickle, down the beat, wit a ghetto tempo
I done blazed the instrumental, laid it plain and simple
Getting brain in the rental, I done did it again
My eyes chinky, I'm wit Chingy, at the Holidae In




I knew what they meant then but they mean so much more now that I have years of wisdom.

Got dammit you people got me thinkin about songs.

I was 28 with 2 kids when this song came out and thought 30 was OLD.
Now my oldest is about to graduate from LSU in December.
I'm going to bed.

quote:

Remember when
The sound of little feet
Was the music we danced to week to week
Brought back the love, we found trust
Vowed we'd never give it up
Remember when

[Verse 5]
Remember when
Thirty seemed so old
Now looking back, it's just a stepping stone
To where we are, where we've been
Said we'd do it all again
Remember when

Nights Moves by Bob Seger. My mom used to listen to it when we were kids. I now know what it was about and kinda disgusted that my mom jammed to with us in the car

How far off I sat and wondered?
Started hummin' a song from 1962
Ain't it funny how the night moves?

When you just don't seem to have as much to lose
Strange how the night moves
With autumn closin' in


eta: guess I’m not the only one
Tells ya something

"Cat Scratch Fever" is a lock to make it in this thread.

It was always a catchy tune, but Bob Seger's "Against the Wind" will almost make me tear up now that I'm older and can understand. Going from being young and full of piss and vinegar to an old man who hobbles to the bathroom in the middle of the night due to plantar fasciitis isn't for the faint of heart.
