![]() The reason I say this is because this song plays like it came straight out of “Royal Tenenbaums.” Listen to this song while you lay in Central Park, it’s the best feeling in the world. I love Wes Anderson movies and I got my brother to love them as much as I do. This is a song via my brother, who has the best taste in music in my opinion. ![]() The Only Living Boy in New York – Simon & Garfunkel The reason I like this song is because it’s just a really happy song and it reminds me of the summer. Now that I’m an adult, my mom and I have seen Dead & Company in concert twice. The Dead are a brand heavily equated with my childhood because my mom spent most of her twenties going to as many concerts as she could. While no specific memory stands out for this song, it’s a great walking to class, sitting and reading or It Girl song. This is one song I had all together forgotten about until my mom played it for me recently on a long drive from Charleston, South Carolina to New York City. Despite my grandfather insisting that no one in my family can sing, this is one of our car sing-along songs. However, the reason I picked this song is because it reminds me of my grandparents. He has a lot of other great songs, one of which I will feature later in this playlist. I actually missed out on the opportunity to see Jackson Browne recently which is a regret of mine. This song specifically reminds me of falling asleep in the back of my mom’s Volvo in elementary school. Everytime I get together with my family we listen to Van because of the nostalgia he brings. He is the singer of Brown Eyed Girl and Into the Mystic. It’s an all time favorite of mine.Īnother artist that everyone should know and love, Van Morrison is likely an artist you don’t know by name but do by song. When my mom was in her twenties living in Brooklyn, she and her roommate would return home after a night out, blast this song and dance around their living room. I love Paul Simon, and everyone should love him too. It’s got some of the strangest lyrics ever, like “the magic rat drove his sleep machine over the Jersey state line,” but at the same time, is very poetic in its own way. Probably the most meaningful of the songs on this playlist, Springsteen’s “Jungleland” was the song my father sang to me every night of my childhood before bed. I hope you get the same happiness from them as well. All the songs on this playlist I listen to multiple times a day and take me back to special moments in my life. From conversations I’ve had with my friends, other people also have this kind of relationship with music from their childhood. Since then I have rediscovered about 10 hours worth of songs, all of which bring me joy just to listen to. Growing up I listened to a lot of artists which I had entirely forgotten about until about two years ago.
