Any songs getting better for you with age?

What about songs that get worse with age?

God's Garden, as the inevitable fate of death comes closer and closer! Especially when the song is over, and you realized you wasted 6 minutes of your life.

And Sister Honey. I think one might lose some of that jet plane enthusiasm when hearing this song in their 80s.

Silver Springs means more to me each version and each time I hear it. Back when it was the B side, it was nothing but Country Hick stuff. It has a deep , love , heartbreak expression now that I truly appreciate. Well written and beautifully sung!

Something about that is just wrong and I'm always picturing orange cones blocking the road. However I do recognize that many, many people love it.

I don't really mind the word "barricade" but I always want to say "hurricane" by mistake. Even though I know the correct word, my brain is always replacing it.

Stevie's songs that I always loved from first listen still sound great to me, and ones I didn't care for haven't improved a lot for me over the years. I may be less madly in love with 'Seven Wonders' than I was in 1987, but I still like it a good deal. Oh wait. I answered the question totally wrong. Songs 'better for you with age'...
Ok, I always have liked "Frozen Love" a lot, but now, this year, it's about the most I have ever loved the song, it's more 'serious' to me. Of course, it has always been a seriously brilliant song. Just now, I can abstain from adding a warbling "BRRRR" at the end after every refrain of 'Frozen Love' and especially the last 'frozen love' in the song...It used to make me laugh a lot (and others quite a bit, too) whenever I played the song and just had to sing "Brrrr" with as much vibrato/reverb as I was able.
Now, I think I'd slap the kid I was silly, if he/I dared to 'brrrr!' to such a great song!!
