This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I turned on the evening news
Saw a old man being interviewed
Turning a hundred and two today
Asked him what's the secret to life
He looked up from his old pipe
Laughed and said, "All I can say is"
"Don't blink
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five then your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your better half
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't blink"
Well, I was glued to my TV when it looked like he looked at me and said
"Best start putting first things first
'Cause when your hourglass runs out of sand
You can't flip it over, start again
Take every breathe God gives you for what it's worth"
And don't blink
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five then your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your better half
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't blink
So I've been tryin' to slow it down
I've been tryin' to take it in
In this here today, gone tomorrow world we're livin' in
So don't blink
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five then your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your better half
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't blink
Naw, don't blink
Don't blink
Life goes faster than you think
So don't blink
Life goes faster than you think
Don't blink
Don't blink
Life goes faster than you think
Saw a old man being interviewed
Turning a hundred and two today

He looked up from his old pipe

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
this song is arguably one of the best songs by Kenny its so true, enjoy every moment of your life and dont waste anytime because life goes by pretty damn fast, so take everything as it comes and enjoy it all
and dont blink
Lol so true.
very good song, very good album, not his best, but he's got a couple albums that in my mind are next to impossible to top, anyone else have the album?? fav song on it? comments??
I absolutely hate songs like this. They cause me incredible anxiety. I know that's the point, but damn, I hate these songs.
I'm going to go play with my kids.
Def one of his best ever, I don't know what more you can say than that. I like how he can get you into the perspective of looking back on your life in a lot of his songs :)
omg this song is so amazing. i had heard it a couple times on the radio but never really paid that much attention to it. then i was watching CMT music videos and this came on and i just started to bawl. it is such a powerful song with a great message. i love you kenny!
I love songs about life. "Remember When" by Jackson is the all-time best. "Next 30 Years" I think it's called by Tim McGraw is also great. This ons isn't as good as those two, but it's good. The meaning is obvious.
This was a wonderful song that tells people to slow down and tell there love ones how much they mean to them
These kind of songs really make me think, worry, cry, and apperciate. This is by far one of Kenny's better songs and I love it.
