Title of Song: We Did It When We Were Young.
Artist: The Gaslight Anthem.
Lyrics:
Don't write me no more letters, my mailbox is full of bombs
Between you and the kooks on my block
I don't remember the good times, I wasn't there when you were kind
And my wife had some dogs in our yard
And I cannot hold a candle for every pretty gun
We were strangers many hours and I missed you for so long
When we were liars, lovers in combat
Faded like your name on those jeans that I burned
But I am older now
And we did it when we were young
I am older now
And we did it when we were young
There are no reasons to believe, I buried my faith in another plot
Where your heart and your claws will not find
And I don't feel you or recall, I put your bones out in the yard
For someone else to be called and caught by
And I cannot hold a candle for every pretty gun
We were strangers many hours and I missed you for so long
When we were liars, lovers in combat
Faded like your name on those jeans that I burned
But I am older now
And we did it when we were young
I am older now
And we did it when we were young
I am older now
And we did it when we were young
I am older now
And we did it when we were young

Part of creating peace and harmony is to first be at peace with ourselves. We cannot give out what we don't have and that's one of the major reasons I love this song. The artist regrets his past life which might mean many things to most people; bad break up, wrong decisions, regrets but he got to a point in his life where he found peace of mind with who he is, with his wife, amazing dog and putting the past where it belonged; the past.
Most people don't let the past stay where it is which makes it difficult for them to spread love, peace, harmony and the fragrance of their goodness. This song is colourful and a reminder that we should let go of the past; things we cannot change and throw our kindness around like confetti.
Thank you for your time.
My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.
Still me,
My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.
