创作背景

7 Years

乐队主唱卢卡斯·葛拉汉曾表示《7 Years》描写了他的人生经历以及对未来的美好憧憬。歌词中最终将他的年龄写到60岁是因为其父亲在61岁时去世了，他需要过去并相信未来。卢卡斯说，这首歌的内容是关于长大的，做一个好父亲是他觉得最重要的事情，而他最大的梦想就是不要去做一个消极的老家伙。

卢卡斯·葛拉汉说如果父亲没在2012年去世，也许他也不会写出《7 Years》这首歌，也不会被华纳唱片签约。

歌曲歌词

英文

7 Years - Lukas Graham

Once I was seven years old my momma told me

Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely

Once I was seven years old

It was a big big world but we thought we were bigger

Pushing each other to the limits we were learning quicker

By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor

Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure

Once I was eleven years old my daddy told me

Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely

Once I was eleven years old

I always had that dream like my daddy before me

So I started writing songs I started writing stories
