Young minds explore without fear & that exploration shapes who we become scientifically & emotionally. Curiosity helps us learn without closing the question too early. With age, the appetite for uncertainty often shrinks & caution starts passing for wisdom. We adults by this time have also become more cautious because social systems & norms generally reward stability & predictable outcomes over risk/surprise. How we have structured our environments also suppresses natural curiosity & as people age, they are pushed toward familiar, comfortable patterns, which is particularly the opposite of open-ended exploration. This song reflects that particular tension. I have tried to bring out the pull between innate openness & the learned rules that quiet it. #indiefolk #storytellingsongs #growingup #SocialConditioning #conformity #introspectivemusic #emotionalsong #CinematicAltPop #lifelessons #comingofage
