Songs About Nostalgia

Chicago - Old Days

Trivia: Peter Cetera told James Pankow (trombone/arranger and writer of the song). "I'm not singing this sh*t, man! Howdy Doody?? Baseball cards? These are the corniest f**king lyrics ever!" (liner notes in "Group Portrait")

"Old days
Good times I remember
Fun days
Filled with simple pleasure
Drive-in movies
Comic books and blue jeans
Howdy Doody
Baseball cards and birthdays
Take me back
To the world gone away
Memories
Seem like yesterday
Oh, old days
Good times I remember
Gold days
Days I'll always treasure
Funny faces
Full of love and laughter
Funny places
Summer nights and streetcars
Take me back
To the world gone away
Our good memories
Seem like yesterday
Old days (on my mind and in my heart to stay)
Ah, ah, ah
Old days (darkened dreams of good times gone away)
Ah, ah, ah
Old days (days of love and feeling fancy free)
Ah, ah, ah
Old days (days of magic still so close to me)
Ah, ah, ah
Old days (on my mind and in my heart to stay)
Ah, ah, ah
Old days (darkened dreams of good times gone away)
Ah, ah, ah
Old days (days of love and feeling fancy free)
Ah, ah, ah
Old days (days of magic still so close to me)
Ah, ah, ah"

Seasons in the sun - Terry Jacks often misunderstood is it about nostalgia or nightmares, but one very important song indeed.


In the Old School Yard by Cat Stevens, and Sitting, by same artist, my two favourite songs of hes are both nostalgic
