Youth Passed So Quickly

Youth Passed So Quickly
People don't tend to think about growing up too much when they are a kid and they are having fun
with their friends or playing in the park. Sure there are many reasons why they would like to be an
adult but they aren't concerned about ideas such as responsibility or being mature. They just want
to be a kid like al of their friends.
Of course as you grow up ideas such as responsibility, work and money take on heightened
importance. After a certain age you become in charge of your own finances, have to look after
yourself and make it in the big bad world on your own.
It is a big step up and it happens quite rapidly. It's like you leave the world of school or college and
suddenly you're in the world of work and al the implications of that. You find out there was some
truth in the advice of those adults that would always tel you to enjoy your youth.
In many ways the years when you are a youngster growing up are the best days of your life. There
are many elements to it that make it desirable for adults. Many adults would happily return to their
youth.
Growing up is a process that has different stages. Writers of films and songs have made art about it
that covers various periods of this process. Some growing up songs such as the ones here talk about
being a young carefree child and others talk about the difficulty of saying goodbye to friends or
family.
Some parts of growing up are more pleasant than others but at some stage those years of youth
have to end and there is always some sadness associated with this. Films can provide longer studies
on this as we can see from the many coming of age films that have come out over the years.
There is something that you have to admit and that is that whenever you hear one of these songs or
see one of these films you start thinking of your own youth. There are probably many elements in
the films and songs that remind you of what it was like when you were younger and the kind of
thoughts that would preoccupy you at that age.
You were probably more worried about what food you would get for dinner or about a scuff to your
trainers than utility bil s or bank managers! The things you thought about then are probably vastly
different to what you think about now.
Many of the songs that are made talk about the viewpoint of being a young person. Examples can be
found here and what you'l notice is that they cover things that you probably got up to in childhood.
Perhaps you sneaked out of your bedroom window, tried to drink a beer secretly or go somewhere
that you shouldn't have. It is easy to chastise children for doing these things, but many people have
done them in their own life!
Perhaps they are just angry that they can no longer be young and do those things anymore! Songs
are there that discuss things from driving a car for the first time or bringing around friends for a
party.

There wil always be a place for such songs and films because at any given time there are a lot of
young people growing up. Often they want to hear from people speaking from the same
perspectives as them and that are around the same age, though they are open to listening to adults
that they like or deem to be similar to them. After al at some point they wil become an adult too.
