Sound of Silver — Do I Really Want To Be Young?

It has been a year or two since I have heard the song “Sound of Sil­ver” by LCD Soundsys­tem. I was reminded of it when I was lis­ten­ing to the show “Fresh Air” on NPR. Terry Gross was inter­view­ing James Mur­phy the front­man for LCD Soundsys­tem and a short piece of “Sound of Sil­ver” was played. It is a song with a great message:

Sound of sil­ver talk to me
makes you want to feel like a teenager
until you remem­ber the feel­ings of
a real life emo­tion of teenager
then you think again

Yeah, move a lit­tle slower; can’t see as well; not quite as strong; cer­tainly not as much energy; sex is, well, dif­fer­ent; …
But would I really want to go through all that again? Not if I am hon­est with myself. icon smile Sound of Silver   Do I Really Want To Be Young?

    Teenaged years were the worst of my life. I don’t get it when peo­ple claim they want to be 16 again!
