When We Were Young
Sultan feat. Ned Shepard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take all your things you'll go and run and hide,
Do you remember how it felt when we were young,
Do you remember how it felt when we were young.
Today we have the chance to feel again
To hear the sounds that brought us in
To laugh, to cry, to live again.
Today we have the chance to feel again
To laugh, to cry, to live again
Like when we were young.
Like when were young
Like when were young
I know your hopes and dreams they will collide,
Take all your things you'll go and run and hide,
Do you remember how it felt when we were young,
Do you remember how it felt when we were young.
Today we have the chance to feel again,
To hear the sounds that brought us in,
To laugh, to cry, to live again.
Today we have the chance to feel again,
To hear the sounds that brought us in,
To laugh, to cry, to live again,
Like when were young.
Were young, were young, were young, were young
Were young, were young, were young, were young
Were young, were young, were young, were young
Were young, like when we were young
Like when were young
Like when were young
Like when were young
Like when were young

R.I.P Pierce Fulton. When I heard the news that he died this remix immediately popped into my head despite not having listened to it for a while. For you to be able to remember a particular song/remix well even after not hearing it for a while and still being entertained by how you remember it sounding is a great thing in my opinion because it confirms that the song or remix is really well-crafted and catchy in order for it to have been able to be remembered in the future at a moment's notice, and still be very enjoyable. This remix honestly has been one of my favorite remixes of When We Were Young since I heard it a couple years ago, with Zomboy's remix being my other favorite.
