I bought a house, second guessing what I own now (what?) Traffic moving kinda slow now (what?) I watch the population grow wild (what?) A bunch of people I don't know now (what?) My city's changed and my zoned out I thought about New York, maybe SoCal Put up condos people can't afford now Landmarks bulldozed, been tore down Overpopulated but can seem like a ghost town Keep a couple real ones with me when it goes down Lack of diversity, I think about Sloane now Only reason I would ever leave my hometown If I still drink, I would crack a 40 ounce Parents finally left, moved away, and they sold the house It's really hard to ignore it now Wish that we could sort it out Last couple sips, pour it out St. Ides in that motherfucker Around the city we smash 5-0 comin' then you know I'm running Crawl into broken fences, when shit gets hard You know who your friend is And when I lose perspective Need to go to a place where I lose reception Looking at the satellites pass by Reflecting on my past life I can barely remember last night Another morning, swearing it's the last time Where would I be? We can't start over, you don't get a new ID I know the devil fancy me But that don't mean the motherfucker get to dance with me Preach.I think happiness went thataway Sometimes you just have to wait I never believed in God But things got so fucked up That I had to pray Used to steal my Daddy's Cabernet Never thought that it would turn into a rattlesnake Thinkin', everything will be all right If we could get through the week Maybe see another Saturday Rollin' round, we know where to go Argue with the homies over who's gonna roll Bumpin' Goodie Mob, have some food for the soul Till it's two in the morn' When rain hits the windshield And everything is still Nothing really is a big deal One hand on the steering wheel And we gon' be all right They both need and want to work and continuing “growing up” themselves while offering support and encouragement to their kids. Macklemore may be a rapper and traveling the world, but most parents face a similar dilemma.

I would try to shield your innocence from timeīut the part of life I gave you isn’t mine Celine Dion, perennial puller of heartstrings and singer of “My Heart Will Go On” (which encompasses the romantic fantasies of every preteen girl in the 90’s), can do it like no one else. No sappy song list is complete without this diva.
Zac Brown sings this sentiment perfectly. There are very few relationships as powerful and long lasting as a father’s love for his little girl. Alongside DJ and music director Ryan Lewis, the pair has established themselves as the. He's spent years building a fan base in Seattle. This song is about the need to reach, keep reaching, and know all the while that’s there’s someone in your corner. The Pacific Northwest is very familiar with Macklemore. It’s every parent’s wish to see their kids succeed, to reach their individual dreams and feel fulfillment. The truth is, as humans of any age, we’re both. It’s a beautiful, painful circle of life type song that makes us ache for both the parent and the child. We dare you to listen to this one and not cry. I’ve never really done this, now I know what scared is”
You’re both so in love and so afraid that molding a human being is beyond your capabilities. There’s no fear like going one day from believing you have all the tools to get by to the next when, holding an innocent baby, you realize the world is a little scary. This is all beautifully captured by the words, “I get to be the one.” They won’t remember their very first steps, but we will.

I pointed to the sky and now you wanna flyĮvery parent knows it’s not the kids who are lucky. This is why Growing up felt like the right song to re-emerge with. It’s something every parent both yearns for and dreads, their child being healthy enough and brave enough to go it alone. This song sums up how a baby goes from crying at night to pulling their chubby hands away in a bid to do it on their own. If I’m still growing up, up, up, up If I’m still growing up, up, up, up I’m still growing up I’ll be patient, one more month You’ll wrap your fingers round my thumb Times are changing, I know, but. The choreography and the story about the little girl finding out she was adopted hit us right in the feels. We first saw this song on America’s SYTYCD. Ellie Goulding’s “How Long Will I Love You” I just can’t with the mixture of Taylor’s sweet, pre-Reputation voice and the chorus, which is every good parenting feeling.ĩ. If you’re needing that extra boost from a sweet song about your baby growing up and branching out any of the following will do.
