What songs take you back in time?

Music can induce nostalgia quickly and easily!  What songs do this to you and how?  

 

There is an Irish song If You're Irish Come Into the Parlour, it immediately takes me back to my childhood where my parents would start dancing!

Wow I have so many I could list! For today,

I’ll go with “We may never pass this way”,

1973, Seals&Crofts, artists. This was my 

(gasp) 1974 High School Senior Prom 

theme song and it catapults me back to

1974 every time I hear it, which was the

first best year of my life!  😎💜

Yes! So many songs that take me back to another day and time. This one takes me back to my senior year in high school. We were all into astrology, so this song is perfect. From 1969 . . .

Oh How Happy:  Shades Of Blue

 

It was 1967 and I was heads over heels in love with Marianne.

 

This was our song.

It's now the fall of 1967. I went to college in Clarion and Marianne was off to Juilliard school of music in New York City.  Our lifestyles had suddenly changed dramatically. In October, I went to visit and it was the last time I saw her.

We both cried as we broke up with Never My Love by The Association playing in the background.

It's now the fall of 1968. My roommate Randy and I have begun entertaining the girls in the dorm next to us. We lip synced every Marvin and Tammi song. Randy was Marvin and I was Tammi. What a great way to meet girls!! We were a hit.

"If you say my eyes are beautiful" sung by Whitney Houston and Jermaine Jackson. Reminds me of a time and a special person I told that to and how true it was.
