Songs that make you feel nostalgic?

[thisistian]

Which songs evokes nostalgia in you? When or where did you first listen to that song?

Probably Paramore's Conspiracy. When I was first getting into Paramore, my mother downloaded their songs onto an MP3 player for me; Conspiracy was apart of the downloads. I was in a mental hospital at the time and I felt soooo lonely in there. See, we weren't allowed devices with cameras, but this pink MP3 player didn't have one, so it was allowed. I switched it on and saw Conspiracy. I'd seen it on YouTube before but had never thought to listen to it. So, tempted to listen to it, I clicked it. And oh my God. I felt so entranced by it and Hayley's voice. It felt amazing and I listened to it over and over again. It made me feel a lot less lonely in there. That's why it's nostalgic: It helped me through those times.

This. First heard it in a documentary during my documentary film class when I took film studies. I mean, the film itself was really awesome, but if one thing hit me hard it was this one. Still makes me cry every time I hear it.

Crimson King by Demons & Wizards. My friend showed it to me and I thought it was awesome as hell! It's basically what got me into metal music!

 

[Lancelot]

The Howl's Moving Castle theme song

Same! I used to watch that movie all the time on Disney when I was a kid. The spirited away song, too. Also all those emo bands make me feel pretty nostalgic of middle school

Well many many songs do. I used to listen to the radio a lot in middle-high school. Even on the school bus. So when I hear those songs now on throwback radio stations (even though I'm rarely using the radio anymore for anything), I'd remember riding the bus to school, alone, scared and in the corner. I was somewhat of an outcast in my neighborhood, because they thought that I thought I was too good for them. And of course, past relationships. So these songs would bring a bittersweet feeling, and make me want to try again with what I know now.

Aside from all that, I've been hooked to my games. Growing up, I was a huge fan of Sonic (still am, but I hope they save the franchise). I'd love to listen to the tracks on games like Sonic Adventure 1-2, Heroes, etc, and to this day still have their tracks on my PC LOL.

I guess I spilled more than needed without a single track listed, but you get the idea xD

edit: Oh, and the songs my mum sang to me as a child. The Proclaimers' "500 Miles" and "Let's Get Married" she'd sing to me all the time.

A lot of songs from ds Kirby games. Specifically Kirby Mouse Attack, Kirby Power Paintbrush and Kirby Superstar Ultra.

*insert all 90's punk and 2000's emo music*
I have a station with all this stuff on pandora that I call my nostalgia radio, I think Green Day, Blink 182, Good Charlotte, and My Chemical Romance are the big four for me. I had posters of each in my room and loudly played their CDs on my boombox.
