"When I Was Young” shifts into reflection.
It looks back on childhood and questions what was real:
Was it always this way? Did it feel different back then — or do we just remember it that way?
Was it always this way? Did it feel different back then — or do we just remember it that way?
The song lives in that uncertainty, moving between longing and doubt. It explores the distance between memory and reality, and the way we build emotional walls to protect ourselves from what we don’t want to feel.
Sonically, it is stripped back and intimate. The voice remains raw and exposed, layered with harmonies that almost feel like an internal dialogue. Surrounded by subtle atmospheres, piano, and fragments of distant memories, it creates a fragile, nostalgic space.
