LINK: back in my days

What’s that one song that you keep going back to when you’re in a funk?

Prompt created by yours truly. 
Feel free to use any prompts for June that I post and/or tag me.
I’d love to read your responses.

I love music and I like to listen to a variety of different types of tunes.

When I’m in a mood, I love listening to this song:

Good Old Days by Macklebore feat. Kesha

In a small club in Minnesota
And the snow outside of 1st Ave
I just wanted my name in a star
Now look at where we at
Still growing up, still growing up
I’d be laying in my bed and dream about what I’d become
Couldn’t wait to get older, couldn’t wait to be someone
Now that I’m here, wishing I was still young
Those good old days

I wish somebody would have told me babe
That some day, these will be the good old days
All the love you won’t forget
And all these reckless nights you won’t regret
‘Cause someday soon, your whole life’s gonna change
You’ll miss the magic of the good old days

Not only does it reference a club that my friends and I used to go to in Minneapolis, 1st Ave, it reminds me that all those chapters of my life were really special… even if I didn’t appreciate it in the moment. It helps me to be present… live in the now and soak in that moment before it becomes a memory.

One day, today will be the good ole days…

    Awesome song and lyrics! Thank you for sharing it ☺️

    Me too, I love listening to music. But, electronic dance music is my absolute favorite genre. House, dance, trance, and so on… 🎧🎶

    Saw Macklemore and Ryan Lewis live in Toronto back in 2016. His baby was just one years old then. His wife was showing the baby to all the girls. Awesome concert.

    As a major Prince fan, I wonder if those first two lines “In a small club in Minnesota / And the snow outside of 1st Ave” is a reference to 1st Avenue and Seventh Street Entry, the club/ music venue in Minneapolis were Prince got started… 🤔

    1. justrojie Avatar

      it is the infamous 1st ave 🙂 prince was highly revered in mn
