"I'd Never Thought I'd Live to be a Hundred" is a 1969 song by The Moody Blues, from their album ''To Our Children's Children's Children'', and written by Justin Hayward. The song is a short ballad with the theme of accomplishment and longevity. The realization of all that the narrator has accomplished makes it seem as if he has lived to be a hundred. The sequel to the song, "I Never Thought I'd Live to be a Million", which lasts only half a minute, has the same theme, except that the narrator has now reached a million years of age. This indicates that the narrator is God. Another Interpretation: "I never thought I'd live to be a Hundred" is about growing and maturing and being thankful for the opportunity to reach well beyond expectations, given very humble beginnings. "I Never thought I'd live to be a Million": This seems to be an extension of the same growth described in the first song. A person grows beyond mortal limits and becomes something more. Something maybe close(r) to God. "... I never thought I'd get to be the thing that all these other people see... look .. at .. me". I imagine a person has evolved to become a star. ==Personnel== * Justin Hayward: vocals, acoustic guitar 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「I Never Thought I'd Live to Be a Hundred」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
