| Cat Stevens – Oh Very Young Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I have actually selected this song to be played someday at my memorial service. (Hopefully many, many years from now.) "Oh, Very Young" contains a very positive, spiritual message about the impermanence of life and how important for us to show love to the people around you while there is still time. I especially love the lyrics: "You're only dancing on this earth for a short while," indicating that brevity of life. I also love the whole second verse. Every time I hear this song I get goosebumps while meditating on the implication of the lyrics and they're beauty. I wish more songs like this existed and more were being written today. True art builds up men's souls. Most of today's garbage tears us apart. |
