These Days
The story behind the song
"These Days" explores the poignant feelings of loss and regret that come with looking back on life. Jackson Browne wrote the song when he was just sixteen, reflecting on the opportunities he had to live out the moments he had "made in song," and how he had not forgotten them. Though first recorded by Nico in 1967, Browne released his own version on his 1973 album For Everyman, which has since become one of his most enduring compositions. It plays like a quiet, reflective journey through the memories of a life lived, full of chances taken and missed.
