Been working a 40 hour per week desk job and been listening to this song since it came out in 2013. I was 25 and feeling that I was indeed wasting my young years but thought that it would all be worth it in the future. Didn't happen. Now that I'm close to 31 I look back and all I see is time either spent studying, working student jobs or just working. I wish I had done a lot of things differently, I wish I would have travelled more, met more new people, spent less time behind a desk or a computer thinking "I still have time to live my life, I just have to finish this paper, this episode, this whatsapp message, this final exam". Before you know it time is up and you realise you've spent your entire 20s hoping for a perfect future instead of enjoying the great present. I hope at least one person reads this and decides to go out more, do a little bit more of what they really like and enjoy their young years while they still have the opportunity to.

I think the feeling of wasting your time is permanent in a society that compares everything. Social Media has had huge pressure on all of us and make us think everybody has a better life than us.
Sit down, write all the things you are proud and thankful for and look back at your life with love. If not, then write the things you want to do/accomplish and start changing your routines.

It's worth it.

At 46 just been given the devastating news that I have cancer and have 18 months maybe 2 years. Love London Grammer and this track seems so poignant at the moment, luckily when I look back over my life I feel that I’ve wasted very little of my young years . My advice to anybody young would be put down your phones. Instead, see, love and laugh together with your friends and family’s. Be good to each other, cut out negative thoughts, don’t judge people you don’t know and don’t be judged by people that don’t know you. Life can short but a life lived well is never wasted, I might not be here for much longer but I hope the memories of the fun and adventures I’ve shared will go on for a long time. On the positive I’ve booked to see Hannah and the guys in Manchester in November (🤞illness and COVID willing) can’t bloody wait.

Depressingly good. An instant classic honestly.

43 yo here, I have a message for all the youngsters : you don t waste your time, you learn, through pain for the most of you . Do not give up, one day you ll understand . Try to be the best of yourself, ask for help if needed , it is worth it . Don T be afraid to move on and come back if needed . You ll never start over from zero .
Take care kids . Life is a trip, not a destination .

[PotatoesInmilk]

Her voice is absolutely one of the most beautiful female vocals ever. Period.

I don't find this song just find it comforting honestly. It reminds you how alive you really should be feeling, old or young. How good it feels to be young, to have your first heartbreak, your first love, and your first understanding of how the world really works. I like it.

I'm turning 44 years old this year and I feel these feels every single day.
What an incredible track. Thanks London Grammar.

I love the sound and the sentiment; I still wonder. But, here I am at 62 years old (how the fuck did that happen?) and everything good and bad that has happened to me has made me who I am. I didn't travel until my 40's (with my kids) I didn't follow my dream of building and designing my home until my 50's, and I didn't get the job I deserved until I was 60. Don't ever limit yourself because of your age - build on every experience, keep learning and don't believe that the only good years are the early ones - there are lots more to come!

I’m French, I’m 49 years old and I was a DJ specialized in techno and music of the 80s and when I heard for the first time this title, I loved the melody and the beautiful voice of Hanna Reid. The sound of the piano accompanies very well the voice of hanna, which is in the end a pure happiness for our ears, to listen and listen again in loop, thank you for this musical masterpiece....

My son got autism loves this song. Awesome

I've been a carer for two family members since I was 18, tried to go university but had to put my dreams on hold to pay the bills and work. I'm now 33 and still looking after them, and also my mum who is now old. all I've seen is suffering and anger, today I'm sleeping on the floor I lost my job and my health went with it. when I can't cope I listen to music, I like london grammar & kings of Leon. it's like medicine for my soul. maybe one day things will get better, till then I'll keep my headphones plugged in to drown out the pain

[MultiMrDmitry]

Hard to listen when you actually ARE wasting your precious young years :(

[dunkeleon]

Isn't it sad that I'm 22 yo and I totally feel like "I'm wasting my young years"?
Such a strong and sad lyrics...
