Jackson Browne – These Days

Happy Birthday, Jackson Browne. 73 and still going strong.

Here’s a fun fact: He was 16 when he wrote one of his greatest songs.

16!

A teenager writing from the perspective of an old man. That is…

Lyrics

Well I’ve been out walking

I don’t do that much talking these days

These days

These days I seem to think a lot

About the things that I forgot to do

For you

And all the times I had the chance to

And I had a lover

But it’s so hard to risk another these days

These days

Now if I seem to be afraid

To live the life that I have made in song

Well it’s just that I’ve been losing

For so long

Well I’ll keep on moving

Moving on

Things are bound to be improving

These days

One of these days

These days I’ll sit on cornerstones

And count the time in quarter tones to ten

My friend

Don’t confront me with my failures

I had not forgotten them
