My God the writing on this song is extraordinary. If you can’t feel the deep love of all that is human in these words then you’re on the wrong side of the grass.

[@JFKBungart]

She is such an incredible songwriter, and a beautiful singer. And a really nice, cool human being.

My Mum passed away yesterday and I listened to this song flat out on my kitchen floor singing at the top of my lungs volume at 10 bawling my eyes out. And now I’ll be ok. 💙

[@oliviashale5653]

💛 sending you so much love and mumma hugs. hang in there for her. she's up there cheering you on, and so proud of you.

At 63 and grappling with age this hit home hard. What a great song and i love that house and barn and land as well. Looking back can often be far too painful, but this song eased it a little..thanks

[@ladeacarr4245]

your soul is still young.. we all have that in common.. we still feel young when our fav song comes on.. or we see old movies... keep laughing and dance and stay young at heart and 63 is still so young really when you think about it...❤

[@chuckthebull]

@@ladeacarr4245 Thank you ..that was very thoughtful...I try and think young at least... when I complain about getting old it's just because I don't feel 20 still...lol...I still get out and doing stuff... I ture with a classic band occasionally,,still ride my motorcycle, and still work hard. But thanks for the encouragement as well.

[@hannuhlynn]

This is something I stress about in m head now and I worry sometimes for my mental health once I am “a senior citizen” (not necessarily per the age just when I am there, but the general ages) think mentally, one never feel different from their mental self at/around 25 years just more wise, worn, and forgetful. My anxiety is because Alzheimer’s is rampant through my recent family line, both parents families. I can’t think on it too long as it is almost crippling in some ways for me. Forgetting it all. I just can’t

[@chuckthebull]

@@hannuhlynn My grandfather suffered dementia My dad never lived long enough to have developed it ,,he died at my current age ... (even odd to say that to myself right now).from prostate cancer caught to late . I lost my mom this last year,, Mortality is always looming but i don't let it stop me at all just it crops up here and there..Just noticing i can't just do the things i used to.. hurt my back picking up a pencil and was like "WHaT THE F man!" just a dam pencil..lol. Yeah one can't let that anxiety take one over too so i hear ya...OH by the way just watched video all about dementia patients and chronic sinus infections. once cleared the infections they actually with the right chemical therapy reversed it in some patients. Seems there's a chemical marker inside the brains of these patients that they traced down to what was being released by these fungus and bacterial infections in the sinuous. I suffered debilitating migraines for years from it..nothing worked antibiotics just ruined my gut.. What i stumbled upon by accident that worked was plain old Iodine in saline solution...For the past 6 months i have actually felt better than i had in the last 3 years. (plus long haul covid fatigue) Cilantro juice helps rid the toxins so i juice it occasionally (learned that from welding) leaches heavy metals from your nerve system... Anyway .. Life is what it is and i try and embrace the old age as long as i can stay healthy as possible.

Buried my momma today....thanks for the words

[@katerose3304]

I couldn't stop crying the first time I heard tis song. I'm 17, and now that I'm coming to the point in which I'm going to college soon, I'm trying to be grateful for all the times that I'm reminded I'm still a kid. I just wish I realized how quickly time went by at a younger age.

[@PenaltyKillah]

Hey Kate, same here. Where did all the time go? After several spins of this song, I'm noticing the lines on my parents' faces more and more. If you want to explore Lori's music, I suggest these tracks for you: "The Tree" & "The Way Back Home". All the best with college! 👩‍🎓

[@hannuhlynn]

Wait until you wake up at 31 and remember this song, reflect on where you’ve gotten to and remember the moments you can’t get back. Enjoy it. Be a kid. Don’t take the next 17 for granted. Make a life just like he did.

[@jp-mc2bp]

Just remember this song at 73 you have a long life to live

[@WhatAWonderfulNameItIs]

I so wish I would’ve spent much more quality time with those who have passed before me. I should’ve asked all kinds of questions and taken all kinds of notes. Looking back now, in my early 50s, it’s those people I miss most.

[@git_gone]

Time is a thief, pain is a gift The past is the past, it is what it is Every line on your face tells a story somebody knows That's just how it goes You live long enough and the people you love get old

[@jp-mc2bp]

Time is a theif and I'm 74. Don't know how many years I have left, but I will keep listening to this song

[@susanplyler2469]

I love this song. Listen, one day you're 17, the next you're almost 70. It's a gift. Live every day.

[@ethanleach9321]

When a song gives you goosebumps, you know it's good.

"Every line on your face is a story that somebody knows"

[@codyclaxton3160]

It's hard to realize people are getting older when you see them all the time. Then one day, they are old. And I can't figure out how that happened.

[@kevinclossguitar]

For me, growing up, there were no pickups, side roads, cigarettes or whiskey. So why is it every time I hear this song my eyes fill with tears? It's because Lori McKenna is a genius, that's why. Heard "People Get Old" on CBC Radio two days a go and I can't stop playing it.

[@shortstuff_golf]

Bc it was written from the heart. That's why it hits you there.

[@michelemibelle]

You are correct....it's a a universal experience

[@jameshayden6891]

I am the same way. So good.

[@SteelSemper1775]

My mom sent me this song and man it hits home. With my father passed away and my brothers and I all grown up I can relate to this on so many levels. Love you momma and to father I hope your watching down on us with a big smile.

[@seanperdue232]

It's interesting how every person can relate to this song in some way or another. It happens to everyone.

[@LRH143]

I don’t why I have never heard of Lori McKenna before. But today, I watched an interview that Ashley McBryde did in Scotland and she mentioned her as one of her influences. Now, I see why. This song brought to tears and that’s usually one of many indicators of a good country song. So thank you Ashley for turning me on to some fantastic country music throughout your interview.

[@bryanariza1063]

She is a wonderful singer, songwriter, and composer. I just love everything she does.

[@jp-mc2bp]

Yea We all get old. Didn't think so when I was 20. Now I'm 73 and have outlived my parents by 10 years. We all get old.

[@creeksidecabin4887]

One of the prettiest songs ever written. Thank you

[@kelyn1964]

It's like we lived the same life. This one brings a tear because I was such a Daddys girl🥹

[@michaelzinc1]

66 today. And, I really do feel 45-ish. My children really are grown. And, as Lori says, 'it is what it is'. Blessed to be alive and married to Donna for the past 42 years. On April 21 / just like every day of my life / I look to the sky and I thank God and my parents for this incredible gift of life they've given to me. Shine on Grandma Moon.

People get old and they become Humble and Kind

No matter how or where you grew up, we all can find connectionpoints in these lyrics that taps in the the flood of our being and emotions.

[@fernaureason7150]

This song hurts. I'm all choked up trying to type this.

[@jp-mc2bp]

Just keep true to yourself. I'm old but not gone

[@skipperdabio]

A simple “like” is an injustice to this song. Thank you Lorri.

[@JenahRox]

Absolutely!

[@nancymooremusic]

Today is the first time I heard this song. It's a big winter storm here but my heart is warm now. This is a song I can see, and hear, and feel ... it's beautiful like a spring day. Thank you, Lori McKenna.

[@sarahs.7211]

My folks are 68 this year and I'm expecting my first and this song is just so perfect.

[@susanketchin]

Oh, my goodness, what a lovely and true song. It should be sung right next to John Prine's "Hello, in There, Hello." Sets me to crying for sure.

[@JBWilson-7]

Wow! Now that song is something to be proud of. A true musical masterpiece/ treasure!

[@parsa9689]

this is such a .... I don't even have words to describe this. It freezes you in time and makes you really think. I've had my fair share of stories. when I was younger I always said to myself that I will never be like my parents when I grow up in a resentful way. I am 25 now and maybe not old enough to say I have evolved but every now and then I find myself doing things that my parents always do. the lyrics "You'll be walking down the hallway turning off every light switch" just hits home so hard. I love my parents and I will be glad to turn out to be even one tenth of the kind, loving and devoted people they are. Thank you Lori for the emotional journey you have taken us through.

[@davidjcurtis]

Just heard this on the radio today - never heard it before. Had to listen again because the lyrics hit. At work and need to focus but DAMN!

[@DougFallin-u2n]

I cry every time I hear this song and I can't wait to hear it again. It is pure and beautiful

New Fan here. I found this song by accident, after listening to it I had goosebumps an tears in my eyes,,, This wasn’t by accident!!! God had me listen to this for a reason. I needed it. I ❤️ you an this song . Thankyou

[@hannuhlynn]

Fees like all here are feeling - this was written from Lori’s heart but it’s also written from mine. “Talking about the fish we caught” was my childhood especially topped with “To his beat up blue jeans and t shirt with the sleeves cut off” … my dad is 60 this year and still … this is his wardrobe for the GA weather. I’m already finding myself “turning off every light switch” which is amazing to hear from her as this is a running joke with my immediate family - my dad has he grew into what his dad before him was. The lights are the specific point of the joke. Thank you Lori. I can’t say how grateful I am for this song and your talent.

[@jp-mc2bp]

Keep your dad in your heart. I'm 73 and don't know how much longer I have in this world. We all get old and then we are gone
