Never Die Young Lyrics

Cover art for Never Die Young lyrics by James Taylor

Hi all,

This beautiful song is quite enigmatic, yes, which makes it even very poetic. Yet, no need to further interprete meanings: it IS about AIDS ! You can read for instance these interesting articles on the subject: http://www.academia.edu/533925/Closeness_and_Distance_Songs_about_AIDS

I could spend lines and lines dissecting why I think it is pretty clear that it is a song about AIDS and gay a couple's "marginality", but you are all clever people and need no further explanation ;-)
