@ chissykim; I have made this statement on other posts; I was born in 1952 and I believe I may have forgotton more great songs than this generation will ever hear. This is one I had forgotten. Thanks for this great post. It brings back many good and not so good memories.

@wmden1 You're welcome. And I hear you. Hopefully the good memories outweigh the bad :/

@wmden1 - the 70s was a fantastic decade for music

I too was born in the 1950s and had I possesed any kind of musical talent other than the appreciation of music, I suspect this is the type of song I may well have come up with. Haunting little tune with big memories. Still gets me right there.

@wmden1 Yup. 1952 me as well. The 60s was the best time ever in the whole history of Life, the Universe and Everything to be a teenager.
