This has been a go to song for decades

The Pursuit Of Hippiness - I’m An Adult Now

https://youtu.be/VB9qb5S8Xlg

Sometimes my head hurts and sometimes my stomach hurts
And I guess it won't be long
'Fore I'm sitting in a room with a bunch
Of people whose necks and backs are aching
Whose sight and hearing's fading
Who just can't seem to get it up
Speaking of hearing, I can't take too much loud music

[hutch]

Ok I do like flattery!


My favorite song about getting old is John Prine’s Hello in there

[hutch]

But the greatest song about getting old is Iris Dement’s My Life

[hutch]

Strike that…the greatest song about getting old is Bob Dylan’s Not Dark Yet

photosynthesis - by Jules fav frank turner




Well I guess I should confess that I am starting to get old
All the latest music fads all passed me by and left me cold
All the kids are talking slang I won't pretend to understand
All my friends are getting married, mortagages and pension plans
And it's obvious my angry adolescent days are done
And I'm happy and I'm settled in the person I've become
But that doesn't mean I'm settled up and sitting out the game
Time may change a lot but some things may stay the same
And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all I will not grow up

[hutch]

I really think Joaquin Sabina has the best lyrics about aging.

A mis cuarenta y diez (at my forty and ten) is particularly brilliant.
