Nostalgia of a time I didnt really live...

Has this happened to anyone else?

I was listening to Stone in Love by Journey.  And I was paying attention to the lyrics.  There's something very nostalgic and pure about them.  I read up on them and found out that Steve Perry wrote those lyrics based on his youth and a specific experience he had.  What a time right?  I wasn't there but I really felt it in his music and vocal melody.  It transports you, even if you werent even there.... But I wish I was.  That's what a good song does.

It does take me back to a time where everything looked like being looked at from a sepia picture.  I was there for that myself, there's pictures to prove it.  I was a child, not even a teen.  By the time I was a teen, those brownish orange and beige moments were over.  But I remember and I keep them fondly.  Such innocence will never be back.  Where is Morpheus with that blue pill?  I know it doesnt work that way, but you get my drift.

I have been listening to yacht rock lately.  Then my sister invites me to an Air Supply concert a couple of weeks ago.  I was like ok whatever but then it all came back.  I had forgotten how many hits they had.  Really cool vibe.

Anyway, thought Id share my random thought of the day before I pack up and head home.
