Been working a 40 hour per week desk job and been listening to this song since it came out in 2013. I was 25 and feeling that I was indeed wasting my young years but thought that it would all be worth it in the future. Didn't happen. Now that I'm close to 31 I look back and all I see is time either spent studying, working student jobs or just working. I wish I had done a lot of things differently , I wish I would have travelled more, met more new people, spent less time behind a desk or a computer thinking "I still have time to live my life, I just have to finish this paper, this episode, this 100000000th whatsapp message, this final exam". Before you know it time is up and you realise you've spent your entire 20s hoping for a perfect future instead of enjoying the great present. I hope at least one person reads this and decides to go out more, do a little bit more of what they really like and enjoy their young years while they still have the opportunity to.

[@kat.5927]

@sandro periquito Exactly.

[@geekovishlord4778]

@katarina G. Your comment really hits me hard. I'm currently 27 and I honestly can already relate with what you said. I'm not saying I'm completely unsatisfied with what I've done but I just feel I could be doing more. I'm feeling like my twenties are flying so so fast and every year I say that I'll travel more, workout more, meet new people more often but it's not the case honestly. But at least it's good to be aware of this and have the correct mindset to live the present fully and prepare for the future also

You are still young! 31 is VERY young! Your life is a journey and you have plenty of time for adventures and good times! When I was in my 20s, I worked manual labor jobs (as one of the few women) and dreamed of having a 40 hour a week office job! I went back to college and met my wonderful husband, who is the love of my life! I work in a career I love (it's an office job, but that's my jam) and I'm in my 40s. I also travel a lot more now and it's easier because I'm older and have better finances! I don't regret the jobs I had in my 20s, because those jobs made me who I am and made me appreciate my life. I love my life and I feel young! You can certainly still travel and meet friends! Don't waste your time in despair-go out and do something to make your life better! I have a family member who just survived stage 3 cancer and she is out living her life. You can too! Life is too precious to focus on regrets! Best wishes to you on a beautiful life!

After 45 yo the track definetely becomes "Wasted my young years" by London Gramophone

[@murrayedgar4791]

I love the sound and the sentiment; I still wonder. But, here I am at 62 years old (how the fuck did that happen?) and everything good and bad that has happened to me has made me who I am. I didn't travel until my 40's (with my kids) I didn't follow my dream of building and designing my home until my 50's, and I didn't get the job I deserved until I was 60. Don't ever limit yourself because of your age - build on every experience, keep learning and don't believe that the only good years are the early ones - there are lots more to come!

At 46 just been given the devastating news that I have cancer and have 18 months maybe 2 years. Love London Grammer and this track seems so poignant at the moment , luckily when I look back over my life I feel that I’ve wasted very little of my young years . My advice to anybody young would be put down your phones. Instead, see, love and laugh together with your friends and family’s. Be good to each other , cut out negative thoughts , don’t judge people you don’t know and don’t be judged by people that don’t know you. Life can short but a life lived well is never wasted, I might not be here for much longer but I hope the memories of the fun and adventures I’ve shared will go on for a long time. On the positive I’ve booked to see Hannah and the guys in Manchester in November (🤞illness and COVID willing) can’t bloody wait.

Hey there. I know we don't know one another from any part of life. I'm from Namibia... So... Hi😊 I totally understand what you're feeling and what an awful and confusing emotion to have but there's one thing that keeps me sane... And it's that I keep telling myself whatever happens or whatever I'm currently going through is only temporary. What is a problem today isn't gonna be a problem sometime... And we're young... We're so young that it'd okay to feel these things because that's what being young is about... To hurt and to learn and to grow from it... So... Just stay strong and know that In a period of time... You'll be exactly where you need to be and by then... You'll probably have figured it all out. I hope what I said was helpful and that it made you feel better... Stay safe and be strong

[@BadCompany214]

Im 61. Yet often, very often, I feel young. Or maybe I’m just yearning for those days of yore. I feel great but I have not come to accept that I’m 61. It feels unbelievable that I am 61. Time goes so fast. So fast! My humble advice is enjoy youth, it’s such a small percentage of a full life. There’s just so much time to be an adult! It’s most of your life! Enjoy youth, don’t do something that you will regret the rest of your life. I know, I know: fun and wisdom are often at odds. But trust me, have fun but within reason. I have really enjoyed all your comments. I’m learning from them and hope that one day, willingly, I accept old age. Part of it is that I feel great (thank God) and I’m fit, have all my hair still 😂. But man, when I saw High: Confessions, when this song came on I had to stop and get the full version. It mesmerized me and all the comments from young people here, their worries and regrets, it’s like butterflies in my stomach. Enjoy life! But within reason so that you CAN grow older, peacefully, simply, with less stress and angst. Thank all of you!🙏🏻

I think the feeling of wasting your time is permanent in a society that compares everything. Social Media has had huge pressure on all of us and make us think everybody has a better life than us. Sit down, write all the things you are proud and thankful for and look back at your life with love. If not, then write the things you want to do/accomplish and start changing your routines. It's worth it.

[@keithbate9405]

+Drew Kleinbach I was in your situation once. A salary slave but each day "I died a little more inside" I left and went back to Uni and it was the best thing I ever did. made more meaningful friends rather than the people I had worked with (who frankly I did not like). I changed my life course. best decision I ever made. I was single and was easy to do it. I know not so easy if you have dependents etc. But even then I think you need to change things if you are drowning inside.

[@Paul.Morgan]

+Drew Kleinbach I was also in a situation like yours. At about your age I decided to work for early retirement. I invested about one third of my salary in the stock market every single month. The years went by and my early retirement fund grew. At aged 39 I started to notice that on a good day my stocks would grow in value more than my salary for that month. That is when I decided to quit my job and see if I could survive without employment. So far so good after one year. I'm happier because I'm free to do what I want. However it's funny that now I have freedom I still feel that I'm not living life to the full. I suppose we never really get satisfaction in life but having freedom is the most important thing.

[@keithbate9405]

+keypointist you were lucky in the sense that the SM must have been on the rise when you initially invested. It could have wiped your money out too. if it had been the opposite. I agree about the freedom thing but for those in the West money is a huge pull. Your post proves that. I know a couple who went to Scotland to be crofters. They are very happy but have very little money. But just enough for their purposes. in that location. Living in a staggeringly beautiful area and working with animals.

[@Paul.Morgan]

+Keith Bate I should add that I rent a bedsit and have a very modest lifestyle. I only managed to save so much money because I denied myself luxuries. Most middle class people would be embarrassed to have so little stuff. To me freedom is worth more than having stuff. Still, I'm not a hypocrite when it comes to consumerism. I rely on those middle class people to keep buying stuff to make the corporate profits that pay my dividends. The thing some people underestimate about investing in stocks is the dividend which you get regardless of what the stock price is doing. I admit that it does bother me when we have a long run of bad days in the market but I maintain a buffer of cash to keep me going through that. In theory I could get completely wiped out (it's unlikely) but then I'd just have to go back and work like I did before! I prefer the busy city life but good luck to your crofter friends. Each to their own.

And how I agree with you, … as a mortician I see daily nothing but loss , and hurt to depths one can only imagine . And I thought I knew all the pain possible , thought I understood what I meant to not have those in my life that should be there…and yes I will say I’ve witnessed the passing of those which ( I felt ) deserved their exit from this world to the next…and after being witness to every possible human story and tragedy I thought I’d seen and heard them all…until we lost our 7 year old grand daughter , …oh did I think I knew grief , oh how many times did I think I had a pact with the devil. To watch my wife crumble and not be able to aid , comfort, support or rectify…to be become helpless when met with a pleading gaze to put back into place , to make better , to put back all that was wrong with a lifeless wee soul that was blessed to have never known any evil in her short but loved seven years …oh yes I thought I knew how loss felt …. I stand corrected , I once witnessed a colleague be informed that “ you don’t know how I feel !” And how correct , for no one will ever truly know how you feel. This song took me straight there . Let’s not waste any more years …look forwards , …not back , we are not going that way ….

Like 10 years ago, ı was at middle school and preparing for graduation exam, itunes gave us this song for free. Every day ı was drawing and preparing art school to 03.00 am and waking up at 05.00 am, in school til 13.00, after school studying at library till 17.00 and after that day ı was listening this song while walking to home at the age of 12. ıt was the hardest time ever of my life. And today ı noticed this song rised ın covid time. And remembering my old memories with my big smile and success

[@matheuspestana9024]

I was 13 when I first heard this song. At that time, I had many dreams. I wanted to study English literature, live in England and write for a good local newspaper. Along the way, I didn't get admitted to my dream university, ended up at a second choice in Portugal, with a scholarship that didn't cover all the costs and so I had to drop out. I ended up going back to my hometown, then moved to São Paulo, a little bitter but still with dreams and hopes. And now here I am, almost 10 years later, aged 22, working in the biggest city in Latin America, 40 hours a week, 8 hours a day, in an office, doing spreadsheets. I feel like I'm wasting my young years. I wanted to work with cinema, with translation, with literature, and I still have hopes, but I admit, I'm tired. Half of my salary goes to rent, another part to taxes and what's left over is what keeps me going for the month. I am working to be a slave to my salary.

[@fyren-xu6ot]

Hi you, that really sounds like a slow exhausting hit by reality, I'm sorry for that. I's wonderful, that you tried it - for me, that's always the most important part.

I would sometimes study up to 16 hours in a day just to pass endless exams. Now at almost 50 I think was it worth it? Hell yes. I have enough money to keep the ones I love in comfort. Made sure my parents had food warmth and care. My kids go to a good school have love and enjoy their lives. So hell yes it was worth it.

I was on the other end of the spectrum. I did end up getting a degree but I stuck to the party lifestyle. Going to festivals traveling the world working seasonal at national parks and ski resorts... always searching for something. The next town the next show...I’m 31 now and I can be honest and say I don’t regret anything but I am not financially secure by any means, in debt actually. So there is a balance in all things in life. I just hope I can find something in life that fulfills me. A job that I enjoy would mean the most to me. Just be glad those of you who made the sacrifices are financially stable now, those of us that didn’t might be working until the wheels fall off..🤷‍♂️

When your "web of experiences" are resumed in a routine of "home>work>home>work" for years and years doing the exact same thing every day, i think it's pretty safe to say that you're wasting your years, because you can't get those years back, you'll become older and older, will not have the same disposal and/or mood to do some things, will not meet new persons, and i think that's what the "wasting years" is about. Can you imagine, for example, a 50y accountant going to the beach on the middle of the night with a girl that he just meet and jumping on that cold water? Very unlikely
