It's been a long time, certainly, since Radiohead were the sort of band you would sing along with at the top of your lungs, you could certainly try belting along to recent-ish Radiohead songs like " Morning Mr. But most fans of the band will hear that lyric and immediately wonder to themselves: Why Radiohead? It's a song more high school kids will relate to than those who have been out of college for over a half-decade, but it's a feeling most people will at least be able to recognize, if only wistfully or nostalgically.īut there's one lyrical detail from Avril's unwilling-adult anthem that puzzles, and the lyric that most will immediately recall from the song, not just because it's memorable, but because it's the first lyric in the song and a repeating refrain in the chorus: "Singing Radiohead at the top of our lungs / With the boombox blaring as we're falling in love." Now, the memory of singing along to a band or artist at the top of your lungs with all your best friends is doubtless a critical part of just about anyone's youth. The song is basically what it sounds like from its title-an acoustic power ballad-type, Peter Pan-like manifesto about Avril and her buds staying "forever young" against all odds, promising that "we're never gonna change." Whether the song is inspiring or kind of depressing is fully up to listener interpretation, but at the very least, it's a fairly rich portrait of youthfulness-at-all-costs, including spending a weekend partying "for no damn reason, "drinking "a bottle of whatever," and, of course, "yelling kiss my ass" at just about anyone who will listen.

Avril's defiant immaturity has been a hallmark of her music for as long as she's being around, and as she approaches her 30s (!!) it appears to be getting more willful than ever, as evidenced by her latest release, "Here's to Never Growing Up."

You're only young once, my loved one, this is your chance Go to festivals, camp, fall in love and dance Get a sled, thrash the hill with your friends till it melts If it snows, go outside, build a jump, get some help Watch the sun set with best friends from a rooftop Study David Bowie, James Baldwin and 2Pac The quickest way to happiness? Learning to be selflessĪsk more questions, talk about yourself less Sneak her in after but boy, you better tiptoeĭon't wake your mom up, do yoga, learn 'bout karma Tell the truth, regardless of the consequenceĪnd every day, give your momma a complimentīut don't get too drunk hanging out the limo Listen to your teachers, but cheat in calculus
Times are changing, I know, but who am I if You put the work in, don't worry about the praise, my loveĭon't try to change the world, find something that you love
Read Langston Hughes, I suggest "A Raisin in the Sun" I love you and I can't give you enough of that Had your heart broken? Been there, done that To be something that I can look back and I can be proud ofĭon't wanna be a dad that's living in FaceTimeīut I've got a world to sing to and you at the same time
Put in so many hours, and I just want the outcome I can promise you that I'll try to work lessīut the tour's routed, and I got this album I don't know if I'll be there for your first step I don't wanna mess this up or do this wrong
