Maybe im being simplistic, but ive always thought the song title to mean staying young at heart. Theres a few references to things we do particularly in our youth too.
Hi Newvox,
I think you’re quite right regarding the song being about ‘Young at heart’. As I said, my initial theory of it being about Lennon himself has no evidence to support it in the lyrics.
I do feel however, that the music and in places, his vocals – are directly (and deliberately) influenced by the early Beatles material.
