Story Behind the Song
18 is a poignant song written from parent to daughter at a turning point in their lives. Looking back at her childhood as well as forward to into her future, the lyrics of this song convey the sometimes conflicting feelings of a parent sending their child off into the world. The lyricist wishes “18 was 8 again,” while at the same time expressing the desire for his daughter to experience “joy without all the pain” and “sunny days without all the rain” as she embarks on a new journey in her life.
