kindkit19. A song that makes you think about life
"Thinking about life" seems to me a fundamentally adolescent thing. I don't mean that as an insult; it's just that in my experience, as people get older, the questions become more specific. There's a loss of ambition, or arrogance, or energy; "life" is just too big a topic.
So here's a song about adolescence and (I think) about the looming spectre of adulthood.
The Mountain Goats, "Damn These Vampires"
