When I was young

Zieht euch diesen wundervollen Song rein, vor allem den Text:
When she was 22 the future looked bright
But she's nearly 30 now and she's out every night
I see that look in her face she's got that look in her eye
She's thinking how did I get here and wondering why

It's sad but it's true how society says
Her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
Til the man of her dreams comes along picks her up and puts her over his shoulder
It seems so unlikely in this day and age

She's got an alright job but it's not a career
Wherever she thinks about it, it brings her to tears
Cause all she wants is a boyfriend
She gets one-night stands
She's thinking how did I get here
I'm doing all that I can

It's sad but it's true how society says
Her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
Til the man of her dreams comes along picks her up and puts her over his shoulder
It seems so unlikely in this day and age

It's sad but it's true how society says
Her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
Til the man of her dreams comes along picks her up and puts her over his shoulder
It seems so unlikely in this day and age



Gestern habe ich diesen Song zum ersten Mal auf MTV gehört ( ja, MTV sendet neben hirnrissigen Datingshows auch noch Musik) und war sofort hin und weg. Allein Lilly selbst in dem Video hat mich sehr an mein früheres Selbst erinnert, das dachte: "Das Leben ist ne Party und ich bin dabei!"
Und wieder einmal vin ich so froh, dass diese Phase vorbei ist. Sonst wäre mir es wirklich so gegangen wie der Frau in dem Text, die mit 30 noch auf alle möglichen Partys geht, weil es ihr einziges Lebensziel zu sein scheint und sie immer noch nach dem richtigen Mann sucht, und doch nur One-Night-Stands findet.
Ein wirklich abschreckendes Beispiel, was hätte passieren können, wenn ich nie auf äußerst harte Weise gelernt hätte, auf was es wirklich im Leben ankommt. Manchmal ist Erwachsenwerden doch nicht ganz so schlecht...
Thank you Lilly for this great song!
