Top Tracks: Durry – Teenagers Forever

When do we grow up? At what point in our lives does everything fall into place? At what age will we finally feel settled, feel that we have things figured out? For many of us the answer may be never. Many of us will never be able to afford a house, or raise a family. The way the world is now, there’s a whole generation that will never know that kind of peace and security, never able to put down roots of their own. ‘Teenagers Forever’, the latest angsty anthem from sibling duo Durry, captures the sense of aimless frustration that many of us know all too well. The feeling that the people around you were the lucky ones who managed to escape, while you’re still walking a path that leads to a dead end. Stuck in that liminal space where you’re still clinging to the hobbies and dreams of youth to give your life some joy and meaning, while pretending you have it all figured out, pretending that the happy ending you were promised truly exists. This hard hitting new single reins in the duo’s wry self-deprecating wit in favour of a more unflinching dose of reality, offering some small silver lining in that at least there are many of us stuck in the same boat together.
