Description

80s-styled power synth and guitar rock, this is a lyrical tribute to the (supposed) freedom of youth.

Written by Zolton, produced by Taka Perry, and mixed by Mark Needham.

WHEN I WAS YOUNG
When I was young
And dumb and free
When I was only seventeen
I could dream the world away
Or leave it for another day

I can see the shadows
They fall around my feet
I’m stepping into cracks
With everyone I meet

But when I was young and dumb and free
When I was blind enough to see
I could dream the world away
With Daft Punk radio
Playing all day

When I was old enough
To know
When I could reap
What I could sew
I could dream the world away
Or stand up (stand up)
With something to say

I can see the shadows
That fall around my feet
I’m stepping into cracks
With everyone I meet
