Song Meaning of “Hardly Anymore” by Bob Luman
Bob Luman’s song, ‘Hardly Anymore’ is an emotional ballad about coming to terms with his own mortality. The lyrics paint a picture of a man coming to terms with his own mortality, and realizing that his life is being taken away bit by bit every day. The realization of his mortality is made even more difficult when he sees all the people he once loved now living the full lives they once wished for, while he doesn’t have the time. He expresses his sorrow at the thought of passing away, knowing he will no longer have the chance to accomplish all of the dreams he once had. The song also speaks of his stoic acceptance of the situation, and how the harsh reality of growing old will ultimately take away his ability to do the things he loves the most. Despite all of this, he finds some solace in the fact that death brings new life, and he makes a promise to himself to spend the rest of his days cherishing all the beauty that life has to offer.
