“All My Life” And Other Songs Singers Wrote For Their Children
Rod Stewart
Rocker Rod Stewart got very personal on the song “Forever Young.” The inspiration behind the hit was Stewart’s children. Released in 1988, it would be one of Stewart’s biggest hits in the U.S. The 69-year-old musician has said “Forever Young” is one of his favorite songs: “I love ‘Forever Young’ because that was a real heartfelt song about my kids. I suddenly realized I’d missed a good five years of Sean and Kimberly’s life because I was so busy touring all the time.” Not making the same mistake with his other children, Stewart would bring them along with him on the road.
