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!

"Last Train to Clarksville." I was 8 when The Monkees tv series debuted and this song was all over the radio. My parents, taking the phrase "sex, drugs and rock'n'roll" a little too seriously, didn't allow me to listen to rock/pop, not even "I Want to Hold Your Hand" or "Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows" (instead, I was encouraged to listen to "Folsom Prison Blues" and "Honky Tonkin" and "Wild Side of Life" and the like--so much more moral an influence than "She Loves You", eh?)
But when The Monkees debuted and every pre-adolescent on the block raced to the record store to buy "Clarksville," I persisted. A glance at the tv series convinced my parents that the Monkees were too sweet and innocent to do me any harm, so I was allowed to watch the show and buy the records and lunchboxes and puzzles and comic books and even Monkees bubblegum packs.
It was just a short jump from there to the Beatles, and thereafter I was a lost cause.

All I Know by Art Garfunkel. Great lyrics, beautiful song. Reminder of a more innocent time in high school in the early 70's, when being in love for the first time was more important than homework! Nothing is better than having grown up with the 60's and 70's music. Great songs, great bands. We could use more of that now!

Anything by the Spinners. An amazingly
soulful, talented and underrated group.
My all time fav of theirs has to be “One
of a kind (love affair)”,released in 1973
when I was in high school and fell in
love “every other day” according to
my Mother! It has lines that can drive
you to tears so give a listen if you
haven’t heard it before 💜🎼

I have a lot of favorite songs from my teen years. One of my favorites, still fun to hear is Dan Fogelberg 'Part of the Plan'. Actually I love all of his music.
RIP
