About this song

  • "Writing music had become stressful, so I started going to the beach and snorkelling around with the fish. One afternoon I was snorkelling and thinking about my questions and my friends, and it came to me that it’s just like the handbook idea. That at some point, everyone is kicked in the head with the realisation that there is no handbook and no answers – we’re all in this without training wheels and we just have to keep swimming together. That’s what “Growing Up” is about." – Alex, via Rolling Stone Australia . User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply. — lastfm
