oh dear - mr-i'm-not-into-nostalgia does a back-flip
youtube strikes again - just an amazing resource
you name it - it finds it - anything and everything
now being the music-nut i am that's what i go looking for
mostly clips of favourite artists and others recommended
also an endless supply of amateur videos using recorded music
this one particularly caught my attention aurally and visually
the tune - well - it resonates with me big-time
i think probably the first song that ever impressed me
got lodged in my head very early on and has stuck there
before this one i hadn't heard much else too exciting
roger miller, the seekers, nat king cole, etc, etc, etc
pretty bland, safe, gentle, inoffensive, nice music
of course this one could now be described thus
but back then (60's) it was like a blast of fresh air
a personal awakening to a world of musical opportunities
apart from all that i think it's just a great piece of music
it surprises me some boy band hasn't made it a huge hit
vocally, lyrically, musically it hits all the marks for me
then to see a viusal presentation such as this clip is v cool
someone has put some thought into showing it in context
with a walk down memory lane of an a-z of album covers
watching them pass by a gentle reminder of a special time
the world of music exploding with genuine originality
ah - those were the days (my friend)
and i'm not even into nostalgia
really - but this is great
the love affair...
