Nostalgia and Friendship: A Journey Through Youth

Clean Bandit's song "We Were Just Kids (feat. Craig David & Kirsten Joy)" is a heartfelt reflection on the innocence and camaraderie of childhood. The lyrics take us on a nostalgic journey, reminiscing about the simpler times when the biggest worries were playground fights and hanging out with friends. The song highlights the bond between two individuals who supported each other through thick and thin, emphasizing the importance of having someone who always has your back.

The recurring theme of being "just kids" serves as a reminder of the carefree days of youth, where the world seemed less complicated. The lyrics mention moving to the city and getting involved with the wrong crowd, but also how the friendship served as a lifeline, pulling the narrator back from potentially harmful situations. This relationship is portrayed as a source of strength and stability, lifting each other up when times were tough.

The song also touches on the bittersweet nature of growing up. The line "didn't wanna be young, didn't wanna be young" reflects the impatience to grow up, only to realize later the value of those youthful days. The mention of family struggles, like hearing parents fight, adds a layer of realism to the narrative, showing that even in difficult times, the bond between friends can provide solace and escape. Ultimately, "We Were Just Kids" is a tribute to the enduring power of friendship and the shared experiences that shape us into who we are.
