Born in 2003, nostalgia towards old music
Hi everyone,
I am from 2003, and recently I have really been getting into "older" music; from the 60s-90s, very diverse and different but mostly inspired by my dad, who grew up in Toronto in the 60s/70s.
I notice that I often feel a certain 'nostalgia' towards some of the songs, such as The Way It Is & The Show Goes On-Bruce Hornsby and the Range, Learning To Fly-Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Goodbye Stranger & Take The Long Way Home-Supertramp.
Does anyone know these songs have that make me feel this way? They were released such a long time before I was even born, but they give me this sad but also happy longing to a life I never had, driving around somewhere with friends, social media not being around, life being good; just a very specific nostalgic feeling that brings me almost to tears every time I listen to these, even though I have no further connection with these songs than just listening to them. It really is some sort of magic sound.
I think with BH& the Range it's mostly the piano sound/riffs that give me the feeling, with the other songs I don't know. Does anyone else know what I'm talking about?
