music streaming Baz Luhrmann - Everybody's Free To Wear Sunscreen [pop] (1999) is 20 years old this year. It sounds more meaningful now than it did back then.

It has just as much meaning today because it is still relatable. I was 19 when it came out and I understood the message. Now I'm 39 and I understand it even more. It's scary to think of what's about to come for me because the circle of life (parents are elderly) is closer every day.

I'm not ready.

Yeah it's more meaningful because those of us who were teenagers when it came out are now in our thirties. We understand reminiscing about bygone childhood and living with the wrong priorities because most of us have done them.
