Frogtoon Muziek - Nummerinformatie: Never Grow Old

"Never Grow Old" Is An Acoustic Song By The Irish Band The Cranberries Taken From Their 5th Studio Album "Wake Up And Smell The Coffee". In An Interview To Hot Press In November 2001 O'Riordan Explained How She Wrote The Song “’Never Grow Old’ Is A Song I Wrote With No Music Whatsoever. I Was Walking Outside Here With My Little Baby In A Pram And My Son With Me And I Started Singing. ‘I Have A Dream / Strange It May Seem / This Is My Perfect Day’. So I Ran Home And Tried To Get Down The Chords On The Piano But Didn’t Because I Was Distracted. The Baby Was Crying! So I Lost It. But The Next Day I Woke Up And It Came Back To Me So I Wrote It At The Piano Then Played It With The Lads”. In An Interview Given In 2002 The Drummer Fergal Lawler Explained That The Song “was Written For Dolores’ New Baby Daughter Molly”. In An Interview Given To VH1 In 2002 O'Riordan Was Asked What Was Some Of The Little Things That She Enjoyed The Most About Life She Answered “Things Like Just Going Out And Lying In Grass And Looking At Clouds And Making Shapes Out Of The Clouds In My Head. I Know It Sounds Terrible But In Wake Up And Smell The Coffee's “Never Grow Old ” The Lyric “Birds In The Sky/ They Look So High” Is From A Personal Experience. I Was Walking Along A Countryside Road With My Children In A Pram. My Little Girl Was Asleep And My Son Was Holding On. I Was Looking At Them And I Was Thinking ‘God This Moment’s Perfect. I Hope It Never Goes.’ As I Was Looking At My Kids I Had A Flash And I Became My Mother And My Daughter Became Me. I Suddenly Thought ‘Jeez I’m Moving A Generation Here… Aah.’ I Got Scared. It Was Like ‘I’m Not A Child Anymore.’ But As I Was Thinking About My Childhood I Remember That When I Was In The Pram I Used To Look Up. I Started Looking Up At The Sky And The Birds Were Flying Around. I Thought ‘Those Birds Look Really High.’ They Just Perch Somewhere Have A Little Bit Of A Crap Fly Off Perch Somewhere Else And Eat A Worm So Carefree. I Thought ‘Birds Have A Great Life. There’s No Stress.’ Sometimes When I’m Feeling Stressed I Look At Birds. It Helps. My Children Opened The Doors And Took Me Back Into My Childhood For A Few Minutes And That’s A Great Thing. So Many Adults Are Always Trying To Return To That Beautiful Naivety And That Freedom. It’s Almost An Out-Of-This-World Kind Of Experience Where You’ll Have A Flash From Your Childhood.”
