Aging Is Improve Than the Alternative
A guy once walked straight into a telephone pole looking at me. But I can promise you that doesn't happen anymore. I'm staring down eye age like a deer caught in an 18-wheeler's high beams. And that's okay.
Being young—fresh-faced, limber, full of free energy and hope—was marvelous. However, my 40s are even amend. There's a sense of conviction and purpose that didn't be before.
It turns out that the wisdom of feel is a decent merchandise-off for everything that isn't quite what it used to be. (Well, at least then far it is.) Also, crumbling is sure better than its alternative, correct (death)?
Rather than cursing what yous cannot control, why not gloat the honor of growing old with a playlist of pop, rock, and state songs most crumbling? We have a long list to aid get you started.

Only I swear that's not right.
And in my optics
She just grows lovelier to me
And in my eyes

And a thousand strands of gray won't disguise
The woman she'll always be in my optics. ...
Hope this helps!

Question: Why practise erstwhile people smell funny?
Answer: "Eau de old person" is indeed a real thing, according to scientific research studies, and although it is unique, it is not necessarily offensive. It is thought that the social stigma of aging is associated with its labeling as unpleasant. (Notation that if the person in question does not adequately accept intendance of his/her oral hygiene, suffers frequent "accidents," or simply doesn't bathe daily, then nosotros're no longer talking about simple "old person aroma.")
The unique smell of quondam people has been variously described equally an "unpleasant grassy and greasy odor," the olfactory property of an one-time book, or the scent of cucumbers and stale beer. In Japanese culture, which places a premium on hygiene, there is even a proper noun for the musky one-time person smell: kareishū.
Scientists suggest that the often instantly recognizable old person odor is the manifestation of humans' ability to screen for appropriate mates past detecting age, disease, and genetic suitability. Old person smell thus may signify prison cell decline. People over the age of 40 have significantly higher levels of sure fragrant chemicals in their sweat and on their pare that give them the characteristic scent. Considering it'south something that nosotros'll all acquire if we are lucky plenty to live long enough, let's cut each other a break unless we really stink. Even then, nosotros could be kind almost eau de old person.
Question: What country song talks virtually what it takes to live for 100 years and if it's even worth information technology?
Reply: While the "if it's even worth it" part is a footling questionable, the state song that comes to mind is Kenny Chesney'southward "Don't Glimmer" (2007):
Don't blink
Simply like that yous're half-dozen years old and yous take a nap and you
Wake up and yous're 25, and your loftier school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
You lot but might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half"
Of 50 years is there in bed
And yous're praying God takes you instead
Trust me, friend, 100 years goes faster than you lot think
And then don't blink. ...

These rooms play tricks upon you
Remember when they were always filled with laughter
But at present they're quite deserted
They seem to only echo voices raised in acrimony
Perchance you will come across my face
Reflected there on the pane
In the window up above for long
In broken home
Notwithstanding this house is empty now
There's nothing I tin can do
To make you desire to stay
So tell me how am I supposed to live without you lot
These walls were lined with pictures
Remember the glass we charged in celebration
Only now I fill my life up
With all that I tin can to deaden this sensation
Exercise yous recognize the face
Fixed in that fine silvery frame
Were you lot actually so unhappy there
You never said
So this firm is empty now
There's zip I can exercise to make you want to stay
So tell me how am I supposed to live without yous
Oh, if I could just go forgetful
When dark seems countless
Does the extinguished candle care
Nearly the darkness
It's funny how the retention
Will bring y'all so shut and then make you disappear
Meanwhile all our friends must choose
Who they will favor, who they will lose
Hang the garland high, or close the door
Or throw away the primal
This house is empty at present
There's no 1 living here
You have to care virtually
This house is empty now
In that location's nothing I tin do
To make y'all want to stay
So tell me how am I supposed to live without you
This house is empty now
This business firm is empty at present
At that place's nothing I can exercise
This house is empty now
This house is empty now

I love this beautiful hub, I idea I couldn't retrieve a song and so I thought of https://www.youtube.com/lookout man?v=y3KEhWTnWvE "Those were the Days" by Mary Hopkin 1968.
Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Call up how we laughed away the hours
And dreamed of all the great things we would practice
Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
Nosotros'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we cull
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to accept our way.
La la la la...
And then the decorated years went rushing by usa
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by hazard I'd meet you in the tavern
We'd grinning at i another and we'd say
Blessings and hugs my cute friend.
Shyron E Shenko from Texas on Dec 22, 2016:
I love these songs, can't recall of one that yous missed, I so much enjoy these collection of songs.

Glad to see you included the Beatles song in your list. That is the outset tune that popped into my head. The residue of these are mostly sweet, and then there's #nineteen which just makes me laugh (again).
Simply it doesn't stop in that location; information technology gets fifty-fifty ameliorate. Shame on you for calculation Droop, WVa to the list! You're only fell!
Love you. Thanks for a fun/funny postal service. I look forward to many more with y'all in the next year. Have a wonderful Christmas!
