‘When I’m Older’ is all about hoping, wishing, growing up and having birthdays.
Ultimately, it’s about looking to the future with optimism.
It’s a list song that details what the narrator wants to happen ‘when I’m older’.
It works just as well for the child as it does for the adult.
What do the children in your life want to do when they are older?
It starts sensible: ‘I’m gonna reach up and turn on the light’.
It gets a bit wilder as it goes on: ‘I’m gonna go to work with my robot friends. Take a trip ‘round the Moon again. Climb up Big Ben’.
The music is upbeat, danceable, mid-‘60s Motown.
