Songs that speak to you/about your life if you’re 40+?

[HaggisTheGreat]

It’s Friday night, the wine is open. Time for random thoughts. I was listening to some old favourite songs and realised that, when I was a teenager or early 20s, there were lots of songs that felt like they were about me or that seemed to speak to my feelings at the time.
Now, double that age, with DC and all that jazz, there’s still lots of songs I like but can’t really think of many that tap into who I am/how I feel right now. I could also do with new things to add to my playlist.
So, has anyone found any songs that really chime with them at 40+?

Fifty Ways To Leave Your Lover. I'm fifty in January and with no history of lovers. A bittersweet blend of truth and irony.

Bjork army of me

I find I'm looking back a lot. Never used to but this year has been odd, including an ex who got in touch after a loooong time. Discombobulating. Taylor Swift's new album(s) coincided with this time, so The 1, August and My Tears Ricochet resonate in particular.

Wear Sunscreen. Especially the lyrics

“Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth
Oh, never mind
You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded
But trust me, in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself
And recall in a way you can't grasp now
How much possibility lay before you
And how fabulous you really looked”

Invisible - Alison Moyet
Is That All There Is? - Peggy Lee

Will you by Hazel o connor

Thank you! I’ve loved exploring these. Some resonate more than others. Which actually made me think - at 17 more of us are probably on the same page than at 45 by which time life and experiences are a lot more varied. Which may explain why fewer songs work for any particular one of us as we get older.
