Hmm. Nowhere near as awesome as a Lacta Chocolate love story but this Grey New York-created work for Downy which incorporates a cover of Alphaville’s Forever Young — that awesome early eighties, post punk-style ballad — comes as close as any detergent ad could.

Entitled Forever Downy, the ad is an ode to the clothes we wear because we live our life in them. And they have meaning. Especially that t-shirt you got at a concert which led to a hook up which led to a baby which led to you letting your child wear that t-shirt which started it all.

Psychology says the freedom that childless couples experience in midlife carries a hidden cost. Without the natural structure that children impose on time, weekends, holidays, and decades, they must generate their own sense of purpose continuously, and that ongoing act of self-creation is both the privilege and the exhaustion nobody warns them about.

I raised three kids, worked full time, and kept a marriage together for forty years, and my son told me over dinner that my generation had it easy. I didn’t argue. I just felt something close quietly inside me.
