“Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old)” is not only a song, but also a statement that everyone can relate with. A lot of people are still clueless about their purpose in life. Nowadays, many young men and women committing suicide because of their feelings of inequality and depression. Don’t you agree?
Honestly, people are pressured in the society we are living in right now. They have already set high standards that other people cannot reach. Therefore, others think that they are worthless for not reaching it. Don’t they know that everyone is working on themselves to prove to everyone that they are worth it? I believe, that every person we meet day by day has their own heartbreaking story. So, who are we to judge others? In fact, we are all equally made by God. Honestly, many are going through difficulties in life, but choose to keep it to avoid judgments from society because today, having a strong heart and personality is a tool for you to survive life.

“We finally met about eight months after that song had come out. A promoter put us together on the same bill. At the Cocky Bull in Victorville, California. And Garth for some reason insisted on opening for me, but it was great.

Garth something about this song,
“”Much Too Young” will always be my sentimental favorite because it was my very first single. It was a baby that I watched grow up. Whenever I hear it today, I have a smile on my face.
