Songs about Looking Back on Life
Well, time for some navel-gazing at its finest. Here are songs about life itself, in a contemplative, reflective mood. There's all kinds of points of view, be it bittersweet, cheery, regretful, boastful, or even devil-may-care.
Of course, pondering a meaning of life is the chief business of philosophy. So expect to hear a lot of armchair speculation on what life is about, or not about.
