I also share a lot of the the same thoughts and feelings about Traces. Im a couple years younger than you are. But I feel such melancholy when i hear this song, and always have. Now at 64 years old, it saddens me to think of all the years in between, all that was lost, my father, mother, sister, aunts, uncles, etc., all gone.

I relate to your thoughts on this...I was in the military when I came across the song "Traces". It was a very popular song. They were playing it on the radio about every two hours back then. It is considered a classic, and it's the kind of song that never leaves you. Many empathize with the message, and it plays on the emotions...a great tune.

This so brings me back to my childhood and visiting my cousins back then. This and the Ventures, Hawaii Five-O theme song at that same time. Still give me goose-bumps.

Thank you so much for your perceptive review of this great song. We are the same age; the first 45 I bought was the Classic IV's "Stormy" so I've been a big fan of the group ever since. Thanks again for your great work on here.

Thanks for the kind words, Jerry. I love Stormy too, and I may do that one later. The bittersweet vibe of Traces always gets me. Thanks again for watching!

I am so happy to have found this channel - I am not so sure about the genuineness of some of the other "first time hearing..." KZbin channels. I also love that you analyze, give background and have a general discussion about the songs. Having said that Traces is a brilliant song! The melody is just beautiful, delicious!

[@timelesspoprocksoul]

Thanks for watching and commenting, Anderson. I share your thoughts on some of the other channels, which is why I only play songs I already have a personal history with.

[@Andybbajan]

@@timelesspoprocksoul I have been watching some other reactioners for a while, but your channel is the first that I have actually subscribed to - finally a channel with substance!

[@timelesspoprocksoul]

@@Andybbajan Wow! I appreciate that - hope you find lots of songs you like!

I know millions of broken-hearted men, whose marriage or relationship did not last, can relate to this song. Unfortunately, I am one of them.

You took too long to play the song.
