Response To The Song 100 Years

Improved Essays
The song “100 years” is very inspiring. In the song he tells you, “Half time goes by, suddenly you’re wise. Another blink of an eye 67 is gone,” so he is basically saying that life goes by quick and someone shouldn’t waste their time on something stupid. As the song goes on, he keeps repeating “I’m _ _ for a moment.” During the song, he seems as if he’s fine with getting older, he’s wishing for another moment once he gets to 99.
Most of his emotions are joyful, but towards the end the music kinda gets slow but his singing stays the same. Someone would be able to tell he’s happy because, in the song he talks about having a family and a baby, he says “A kid on the way babe, a family on my mind.” As he keeps singing his age keeps getting higher

This can be heard with artist Graham a twenty seven year old from Christiania who sat down one day and began to tell out his life story, and future aspirations in his song “7 years old”.
