I grew up and came of age in the 50's, 60's, 70's. Ah, the 'gold' of living in that era, highlighted in great songs like this. I feel so blessed, like so many others who experienced life then. Yes, there were crazy times, like always, but my heart stayed 'light', due so much to the great music of the times. Kids today just don't know what they missed. 'Be young, be foolish........'

@@shirleygray4569 A whole different world back then when older teens looked out for the under 10's ( without using them to carry drugs or knives, youth clubs were every where and the weekly disco set your heart ablaze, mainly to see the girl/boy you fancied and to hear the music you liked both new and old.

A song to lift anyone's spirit , especially if your going through hard difficult times , even many setbacks in. Life try to stay positive , look for the sunshine after the rain clear skies after the clouds. Light in darkness , look at the shadows and see they are but illusions , feel once again not in your hearts. , remember happy days , like on the beach , or special birthday when younger find that inner smile once again. Love yourself let love once again find you , especially when your not looking , love and joy through good and bad negative experiences, life is all a learning curve , with infinate possibilities. And potential.try to be positive. , remember you are never alone , your happy memories cannot be taken from you , god bless all , be young no matter what age you are , yes be happy , see Positives , feel them , no matter the condition you have experience 🙏.
