ladyfingers - herb alpert & the tijuana brass (slowed + reverb)

[TheGumdrop]

The perfect song to listen to while embracing my helplessness

[raptor]

This song combined with the imagery makes me think about all of the adventures I missed out on and regretting how much of my youth that I squandered. Once your childhood passes, it never comes again.
Anyone who's a kid or a teenager listening to this, make the most of your time. Go on that trip, go out with the boys or girls at night. Have a good time, and enjoy the freedom you have.

It only happens once - don't miss it.



Edit: I came back to this comment after I saw a reply from another user. Thought I'd give a bit of my story - to anyone who might actually care (lol). Read if you want:
Being shy and introverted as a kid, I didn't really go out with people all that much. Throughout the entirety of my teenage years, I only went to *one* party (that is, an actual party hosted by your peers, rather than one of those middle-aged adult "parties" that your parents dragged you to). It was my freshman year of high school where my saxophone section leader in marching band invited us to his house by the bay. We had a cookout, listened to music and watched movies, went swimming, kayaking, tubing behind a boat - one guy even managed to convince his parents to let him bring their jetski. It was an incredible time; and in hindsight, I don't think I fully appreciated back then just how much fun it really was.
But, as I later dropped out of marching band due to struggling to find the time to both manage my heavy course load and all of the homework + studying it had, and the many, MANY hours of practice required for marching band (I ultimately prioritized academics), I never really had a close-knit group like that for the rest of high school.

Just as I started to realize that I was missing out on life (around my senior year of high school), and began to try to stretch my wings, overcome some of my social anxiety, and try to actively reach out to meet new people, and just as I was starting to actually build up what you could call a real social life... the pandemic hit. And thus, all of my effort came tumbling down as my social life collapsed.

I'm now 20, coming up on 21 next year. It's too late to regret what I didn't do when I was younger; all I can do now is look to the future, and hope that this pandemic will end and stop ruining everything.

Literally one of my favorite songs this makes it great

[zinlou]

This is painfully beautiful, what a sad nostalgia it gave me

[NorthCdogg]

Such a beautiful song, literally fits into anything..
Memories of being a kid and hanging out with your friends back when life was easier..
Falling in love with a girl..
Going to the cities local jazz pub and hearing someone playing this beautiful piece of music..
Driving across the country in the middle of the night among the streaming blaze of headlights going down the interstate seeing the lights of distant city with the stars above you..

[agaveboy]

the chord progression is a looped modern minor plagal cadence (IV-iv-I) which is notoriously nostalgic and sad, especially with major 7ths and major 6ths added in.

Sometimes I randomly find things which just make me happy for a moment, i forget all the grief and sorrow. I live for those moments it's very valuable to me. Have a nice life stranger. Go find Peace and happiness :D

[monicaalonso]

The sound is like playing it at a hotel lobby. Very calming, hauntingly beautiful.

[sidecharacter]

[deez]

Does anyone know any other songs that sound similar/have the same kinda vibe as this?

[blazzy_smoky]

I want this song to be played in my funeral 😌

[Ryan-mkvo]

Something about this reminds me that the world spins and doesnt stop for anyone,
That we are standing in a river known as time and every moment we touch is here for just a moment,
It reminds me to take a splash of the water and throw it against my face every chance I get to remind myself I am alive here right now and I will never get another chance to feel the refreshing essence of now again,
It reminds me that every moment is just as special as the moment passed or to come and that neither would exist without embracing the now,
Live and splash in the moment my friends and may every moment be as special as the last and the next, stay thirsty my friends.

This song reminds me of a distant memory or a figment of my imagination, i cant remember which. It reminds me of a plaza at night. There is a live performer with his instrument case opened and filled with spare change and cash. People stand around appreciating the music as younger children and adults step close every few minuets to throw in some money. The person gives a nod in appreciation every time someone donates. There are lots of lights wrapped around the trees (mostly palm trees). Its lit with a yellow whitish light, so its calm but not overbearing. There is a huge fountain it the middle, and it smells like that weird fountain smell, but its comforting. Its around Christmas time so there are decorated shops and snowflake decor outside. There is light chatter all around but in a good way, (like your not alone) my family and I stand around waiting for something (i cant really remember). Just the memory brings me so much comfort, but this was probably years ago if it was real and not a dream. I have trouble recalling if things are vivid dreams or real memories, but either way it makes me smile.

This song is like you're old and watching the credits to the end of a movie you starred in, Montage of memories flicker across the screen reminding you of where you went in this crazy thing we call life.

[sarodabasumatary]

The most peaceful song in the whole universe 💖
Remembering my childhood 😢

[uneekuh]

the amount of serotonin this gives me is uncanny. I LOVE THIS SONG

[_Twelve]

While listening to this it makes me remember of my childhood with my grandma, how I was playing with my friends and then grandma was telling me to go eat, how grandma spent time with me when I was just few months old. I miss these good times.

[Weeze]

This makes me want to run away for a day, go the the beach and watch the sun rise. No worries, stresses, cares, or concerns. Not thinking about school, grades, money, or friends. Pure peace. Makes me wish life wasn’t so difficult.
