Last week I shared my questions on conscious aging. From time to time it is interesting to share songs about ages with senior adults to get them sharing their perspectives. Here are a few suggestions for those in elder care positions.
- When I’m 64
- Que Sera, Sera
- When I Grow too Old to Dream
- It Was a Very Good Year
- Sweet 16
- Baby Face
- Too Young
- Cat’s in the Cradle
- My Generation (at the very least the chorus makes a great introduction to talking about their generation)
- Teach Your Children Well
- Old Friends
- Get Up and Go (They may not recognize this one but it has great material for discussion!)
- The Old Grey Mare

Thank you for this. These are wonderful songs that have the potential to bring out all kinds of thoughts, feelings, and discussions about aging from a variety of perspectives.
