A Music Trope. This is essentially the musical equivalent of a Time-Compression Montage: a song that describes a long span of time by highlighting a few key related moments. For example, it may be a song about John the lumberjack, first talking about how as a boy he wanted to be a lumberjack, then as an adult what a fine lumberjack he was, then as an old man thinking back to his times of lumberjacking. As in this example, an Age Progression Song is often a ballad about the story of a person's life. Typically, each verse is assigned to a different point their life in order from youngest to oldest, and the chorus points out the commonalities between them. Sometimes though, they describe changes in the world at large. Often coincides with Dual-Meaning Chorus. Can be an effective way of allowing a broad demographic range to relate to a work. If in a stage musical, expect a duet with two age-shifted versions of the same character at some point. See also Rock Opera and Coming of Age Story. To eliminate too many spurious examples, we're keeping this to cases with at least three different times. It also helps if there are explicit mention of ages. |

Arguably Dream Theater's best song, and their first 20 minute plus epic, 'A Change of Seasons'. Tells the narrator's attitude towards life and others throughout their life, bookended by 'The Crimson Sunrise' and 'The Crimson Sunset', two movements and lines within those movements. | |

Tracy Lawrence's "Time Marches On" is an interesting variant that follows the whole family. In the first verse, the children are young and playing around; in the second, the children are in their teens and their parents are concerned; in the third, the children are old enough to be grandparents, the mother is senile and the father is dead. | |

Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car": Starts with the singer as a teenager, planning to leave her hometown with her boyfriend. Then she's a young adult, still with plans to move to the city when things improve. Then they're married with kids, and she knows she's never going to the city after all. | |

Trace Adkins - "You're Gonna Miss This" (teenager, newlywed, mother of young children) Similarly, Darius Rucker- "It Won't Be Like This For Long" (by the protagonists's daughter's age: newborn, preschooler, thinking ahead to when she's a teenager and when she gets married) Hilariously, both songs not only came out in the same year, but were performed within about 13 minutes of each other in the 2008 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (but only their first verses, given that the parade is so jam-packed that they need time to segue into a marching band or balloon or whatever). |

Frozen: "Do You Want to Build a Snowman" has Anna at 5 & Elsa at 8 -> Anna at age 9 & Elsa at age 12-> Anna at age 15 & Elsa at age 18. It starts when Elsa is forced to shut herself from her sister, passes through the years with Anna continuously asking Elsa if she wants to play only to be refused or ignored, and ends with their parents' death. The very early Cut Song "We Know Better" was an age progression song starting with a 3 year old Elsa after Anna's birth. It continues until Anna is 19 and Elsa is 22. The song starts off about how Anna and Elsa are best friends who defy what a princess is "supposed" to be like. The dark reprise has the local villagers start to become wary of their future queen and her ice powers. At the same time 12-year old Anna's parents tell her to act more princess-like and lead by example. This is the beginning of the rift in their relationship and the rest of the song has them drifting apart. |

"A Bowler Hat" from Pacific Overtures. The lyrics imply that Kayama is gradually growing older while adopting Western clothes and manners, and the makeup applied to him between verses, together with the Reciter's spoken commentary, confirms this impression. | |

Lorrie Morgan's "Something in Red" is a variation where what changes isn't so much age exactly (although the singer and her man do age) but the nature of their relationship, with each stage represented by a different color for the clothing she goes to buy: red (seduction), green (envy of another woman who caught his eye), white (marriage), blue (maternity clothes when she has his baby), and finally red again (rekindling their romance). Aside from one line and a tense change, it also has a Dual Meaning Verse. | |

Zager & Evans' "In the Year 2525" has the narrator theorizing on what advances in technology will do by 2525, 3535, 4545, 5555, 6565, 7510, 8510, and 9595. The narrative is rather apocalyptic in its premonitions, ending with the Biblical final judgment of God, and the descriptions of human life can be examples of Body Horror. | |

A less famous song by Jacques Brel is "Zangra", about a young officer who arrives in a frontier outpost dreaming of glory. With every verse he ages a little more, and by the end of the song he's an old general who realizes he's wasted his life. | |

"Each Night He Comes Home To Me" from Medal of Honor: Underground combines this trope with Grief Song, progressing from the singer meeting her love interest in childhood, to the two marrying and raising a family, to the husband being drafted into the army and dying in World War II, and finally the widow visiting the battlefield where he fell. | |
