@Jah_LEASE_yah Год назад

@@jasminejohnston6393 I wouldn't call it a "bad" subject. Dark yes, but its normal for people to contemplate growing old and passing away even at a young age. I think their grandmother passed away around the same time they wrote this song so that might be what inspired them to think about their own mortality. Also, they were definitely mature for their age. Their first three albums have a lot of deep songs on them that sound really pop and happy but are about deep subject matter, all songs they wrote when they were still minors.

(1984), Bruce Springsteen - This rock classic is about the problems Vietnam veterans faced when they returned to America.

That was a wild realization that my favorite TV theme song was actually about a man contemplating ending his own life. However, the real kicker comes when you realize the lyrics were written by the singer’s 14 year old son.
