Alfie-Templeman - Happiness In Liquid Form
"Wish I Was Younger" Is The Fifth Track Featured On Alfie Templeman's Fourth EP "Happiness In Liquid Form". In An Interview With NME He Had The Following To Say About The Track "I Don’t Actually Wish I Was Younger Because That Would Basically Make Me A Fetus. I Have A Bit Of A Habit Of Writing About Other People’s Lives — I Think It’s Because I’m Quite Hypersensitive And Can Empathise With Everyone. From An Age Perspective Too It Can Be A Lot Easier To Write From Different Perspectives Than To Just Talk About Myself All The Time — It Doesn’t Make Much Sense To Keep Singing About Certain Life Experiences If I Haven’t Lived Them. In This One I’m Talking From The Perspective Of A Married Dude Just Being Like ‘I Wish I Was Younger When We Met So I Could Have Spent More Of My Life With You.’ It’s A Very Simple Love Song Two Minutes Long A Nice Happy Vibe Where Everyone’s Dancing. It’s Definitely Got A Late 90s RnB Feel To It. I Wanted To Make Something You Could Play When You Hold One Of Them Huge Speaker Thingies Over Your Head To Try To Win Someone Over."
