Music that makes you wistful about all the good years you've had.

[MarkD]

I was playing this as I prepared the soup from the turkey carcass we had for our postponed Thanksgiving meal today.

I know there must be a lot of other good music of this sort. For example this one from the Beatles who I listened to a lot growing up.

What other music gives you the good sad/happy feeling about all this life we've had so far?

 

[MarkD]

Ooh here is another and new to me. I like it but more as poetry than as music.

Mary Hopkins, Those were the days. Paul Mc Cartney, author & producer.

She sings like I imagine angels do.

There are a lot of songs that make me think of good times that I've had. This may be the first one from high school.

Bon Jovi - It's My Life

Memories of wilder daze

 

[MadMongoose66]

The origin of my nickname, for many years no one knew my name. I was Mongoose on the street as a kid, Mongoose for 18 years on stage in bands, now I have used it online for 23 years. I still dig the song. Yes, I saw them live.
They became the "Plastic Ono Band" as John Lennons group after the Beatles broke up.

Yes, I know a mongoose looks something like a squirrel or ferret, but have you ever seen them in a fight with a venomous snake twice their size.

Well, you gassed her up
Behind the wheel
With your arm around your sweet one
In your Oldsmobile
Barrelling down the boulevard
You're looking for the heart of Saturday night

 

[Pepper]

Whenever I hear this song I am transported back to the place I first heard it, in the Pub "Oranges & Lemons" on the St. Clemens Road in Oxford UK. Smokey dark dense room filled to the brim with my friends

I grew up listening to songs by The Beatles. I like the song titled... When I'm "64". Sometimes I can't remember that I'm now "68". And I'm not kidding. Then my husband reminds me how old I am.

I remember where I first heard Elton John's "Benny and the Jets." It was probably new because it seemed like I heard it over the radio every night that I was in this place doing this activity, for some time.

When I hear it now it takes me back.

 

[1DomesticGoddess]

Beautiful song by The Beatles.

Along those lines this one just popped in my head. I might have been five when I first heard it on the radio.

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. I'll finish getting caught up when I get back from my acupuncture appointment.

Old Salt, I have to agree with you as well. This song by Elton John, is his best song. ​

Linda Ronstadt has such a beautiful voice, and I've always enjoyed listening to both these songs. These songs surely bring back memories when I was younger. Pinky, thank you for posting these songs.

This one always cheers me up and brings fond memories. "Do You Believe in Magic" - Lovin Spoonful

( I try to remember to put the name and musician when I post a song that way it can be found in a search. )
