Songs from your youth that mean *more* to you now.

A brief discussion with Mr T reminded me of a song that means more to me now than it did at the time.

I'll leave it to Mr T to post that song,

Mine is

Björk - Hyperballad (YouTube Video)

As far as I can guess it is about putting on a brave face to be with your loved one. It brings me to tears every time. In my 20s it was just a song that I liked.

[Verse]
We live on a mountain right at the top
There's a beautiful view from the top of the mountain
Every morning I walk towards the edge
And throw little things off
Like car parts, bottles, and cutlery
Or whatever I find lying around

[Pre-Chorus]
It's become a habit
A way to start the day

[Chorus]
I go through all this before you wake up
So I can feel happier to be safe up here with you
I go through all this before you wake up
So I can feel happier to be safe up here with you

[Verse]
It's early morning, no one is awake
I'm back at my cliff, still throwing things off
I listen to the sounds they make on their way down
I follow with my eyes till they crash
I imagine what my body would sound like
Slamming against those rocks

    I was around 20 when this song came out and it became a firm favourite and it will be played at me funeral. Green day "good riddance (time of your life)"

    Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
    Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
    So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
    It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
    It's something unpredictable
    But in the end, it's right
    I hope you had the time of your life
    So take the photographs and still frames in your mind
    Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
    Tattoos of memories, and dead skin on trial
    For what it's worth, it was worth all the while
    It's something unpredictable
    But in the end, it's right
    I hope you had the time of your life
    It's something unpredictable
    But in the end, it's right
    I hope you had the time of your life
    It's something unpredictable
    But in the end, it's right
    I hope you had the time of your life
