This is the fourth track on the album "25" by Adele. Overall the song is about longing to everything that is felt in youth. Lyrically, the youth told in this song has a lot of meaning, could be a person who was with us at home, pets, or objects that we like. This song indirectly makes us longing for our childhood. This song brought nostalgic memories to us. But the journey of our life that keep running makes us more mature and older. This makes us miss the atmosphere of our homes. We can see this from the first verse of this song. Everybody loves the things you do. From the way you talk to the way you move. Everybody here is watching you, 'Cause you feel like home. You're like a dream come true. But if by chance you're here alone. Can I have a moment before I go? 'Cause I've been by myself all night long. Hoping you're someone I used to know. The journey of life is making us better understand ourselves. We learn to find our identity. We are trying to learn every day. Through an understanding of ourselves, the more we know our strengths and weaknesses. We learn to be ourselves and to form a strong character within each of us. Furthermore, we can see the longing that delivered on this song with the chorus of this song. Let me photograph you in this light. In case it is the last time. That we might be exactly like we were. Before we realized. We were sad of getting old. It made us restless. It was just like a movie. It was just like a song. This indicates a sense of missed on something that is ever present in our childhood. A nostalgic memories we can recall through the photos or video we ever capture in our camera. Through these objects we could feel the memories that ever happened in us.

We are grateful once through the sweet memories that fill our childhood. We are grateful to walk until we get older. Youth remind us of events that ever made us feel laughing, crying, and other things. Youth is the most happy time in our lives, because in youth, we have not felt the cruelty of this world. In youth, we can still play all the time, but when we get older we have to use the time as well as possible. We must be able to spend time with an appropriate activity. We can not waste time on something that is not useful. This is where that makes us yearn to our childhood. We can only smile when remembering the good times before. There are times when we get older, we will think back to our childhood and play all the time with family or friends. However, life still to be go ahead. We can only be grateful been through this a long time.

"When We Were Young" is a soul song written in common time in the key of E♭ major with a moderately slow tempo of 72 beats per minute. The song follows a chord progression of Cm–E♭/G–A♭–E♭/G–Fm7–E♭, and Adele's vocals span two octaves, from E♭₃ to E♭₅ (OnlineSheetMusic.com, 2015). From the musical instruments, the song is cool to listen to. I quite like this song. This song is one of my favorite songs in this album. The rhythm of this song is also very engrossed in our ears. This song is recommended for anyone who longs to youth. I believe when you listen to this song, you will be reminded of your nostalgic memory. This song is also very suitable to be heard when we were relaxing, were learning, were pensive or as a lullaby.

The Lyrics of When We Were Young by Adele

Everybody loves the things you do

From the way you talk to the way you move

Everybody here is watching you

'Cause you feel like home

You're like a dream come true

But if by chance you're here alone

Can I have a moment before I go?

'Cause I've been by myself all night long

Hoping you're someone I used to know

You look like a movie

You sound like a song

My God, this reminds me

Of when we were young

Let me photograph you in this light

In case it is the last time

That we might be exactly like we were

Before we realized

We were sad of getting old

It made us restless

It was just like a movie

It was just like a song

I was so scared to face my fears

Nobody told me that you'd be here

And I swear you moved overseas

That's what you said, when you left me

You still look like a movie

You still sound like a song

My God, this reminds me

Of when we were young

Let me photograph you in this light

In case it is the last time

That we might be exactly like we were

Before we realized

We were sad of getting old

It made us restless

It was just like a movie

It was just like a song

When we were young [4x]

It's hard to admit that

Everything just takes me back

To when you were there

To when you were there

And a part of me keeps holding on

Just in case it hasn't gone

I guess I still care

Do you still care?

It was just like a movie

It was just like a song

My God, this reminds me

Of when we were young

When we were young [4x]

Let me photograph you in this light

In case it is the last time

That we might be exactly like we were

Before we realized

We were sad of getting old

It made us restless

Oh I'm so mad I'm getting old

It makes me reckless

It was just like a movie

It was just like a song

When we were young
