What Does the Song Mean?

“One of These Days” shows us a picture of how we should look at life. Many of us think or make decisions like we aren’t going to die, like we still have tomorrow to live. However, life is not like that. Life should be lived like tomorrow’s never going to happen. Therefore, while you still have now you should not be sitting around complaining or judging yourself, instead, you should go do the things that you love. You should choose to be yourself no matter what because one of these days life will be over and it won’t matter what people say. This is what Emmylou Harris’ song wants us to understand, that life should be lived to its fullest no matter what.
