Wild Young Hearts

OMG! No-one's commented!! This is one of my favourite songs ever. I love the way the calm but kind of irritated tone of the verse just breaks into a big chorus with "I'm not what I was last summer". It made me feel like my life is different now, even though it's not about me. I feel like I'm in a film, nay, a musical when I listen to this - it's immensely exhilarating!! Love. It.

just a little correction, i hope at least haha

And while the city sleeps I won't weep because I didn't keep My boyfriend and the summer's end is here again And the leaves are golden Under the grand silver birch tree

While we're thinking bout the people we meet Dancing feet, wasters on the cover of a magazine People you've kissed, people you lust And the one's that you might not Ever remember what's the use

I'm not what I was last summer Not who I was in the spring Tell me, tell me, tell me when will we learn We love it and we leave it and we watch it burn Damn these wild young hearts Damn this wild young heart

Now that the city's awake, my heart aches Oh what a silly mistake it seems I've made You left your keys under my bed Left a thumpin in my head I would say sorry, what's the use

Cause, I'm not what I was last September And I don't wear the same robes in May We know we shouldn't do it, but we do it anyway We know we might regret it but it seemed ok Damn this wild young heart Damn this wild young heart Damn this wild young heart

If now is forever then what's to prove Cause it won't be the same next summer And I guess I'll see you in the spring Somebody tell me, tell me, tell me, when will I learn I love it and I leave it and I watch it burn Damn this wild young heart I told you damn this wild young heart Damn these wild young Tell me, tell me, tell me when will I learn Damn this wild young heart

went to see the noisettes and can't believe the tickets were only £15 Shinghai is just ridiculously talented and the other two are great also. She is really amazing to watch x

So, the ending, what of it do you interpret? I mean, she goes on about being foolish and young with someone, and how she's learned her mistakes, but does it mean she's returning to him or pushing him away again?

This quickly became my favorite song after I realized how strongly I can relate my own life to it. I feel that it's about a person who used to be frustrated with her life because of the good things that walked in and then out of it, until she learned to accept her dynamic nature and not weep because she couldn't keep her boyfriend. That was her mistake, is that she yearned for the good times in the past to return again instead of letting them pass, as everything inevitably comes to an end. She's the kind of person that changes from season to season, and what she loved in the summer may not be what she will love in the spring. She's happier now that she's comfortable with this, and is optimistic about what lies in the future.
