This song for whatever reason reminds me how fun, cool, and exciting it was to discover something new when I was younger. Like going to an aquarium, learning about space, finding something new in a game that I’d play for hours, or something like that. Usually nostalgia makes me sad but this song makes nostalgia happy for me idk how to explain it but yeah it makes me feel like that

[@voltmea9501]

Nostalgia.

@@aidenmaves5537 Music IS just sound, but sounds that can effect people. Believe it or not there is actually music that reminds people of things that the music has nothing to do with. This person could very well be telling the truth.

Imagine being in an abandoned mall that fell deep underground from a sink hole, and suddenly this echoes through the rooms as you explore, with only small amounts of light coming from the setting sun shining through the dirty windows.

Vaporwave is just the type that just hits you in the heart and just makes you feel nostalgic of memories you've never had

[@voltmea9501]

I dont really think this is vaporwave more like ambient/electronic with maybe some lofi elements but definitely not vaporwave Regardless a great song tho.

Imagine reliving the good bits of your childhood once again while reflecting on how much you have forgotten, But now the only source you could retail back to such a time is nostalgia.

[@ukii345]

This song gives me the feeling of someone living on a other planet and enjoying their happy life in a other universe cherishing the moment.

[@firetoad93]

It's weird that I don't find this music depressing. It makes me think of walking through a beautiful courtyard of white roses in my old mansion and petting the cats that come into the courtyard. I can imagine myself in a flowy pastel yellow dress. It's beautiful.

[@nosir7882]

Amazing how a simple photo paired with a song can provoke so many emotions.

[@cohlinegarnet8313]

This song is so comforting in an odd way. It feels like a tune befitting to nature to me.

[@Mikopotato95]

I heard this song on a Facebook ad for Konbini and I couldn’t pay attention to what the ad was about because I was so enchanted by this song.

[@ShoweryTomcat]

It is no longer a song it is a caboodle of feelings like depression and nostalgia

[@maxandcheese2468]

This reminds me of happy memories in my childhood, running to the ice cream truck and playing outside with my friends on bright sunny days and pretending we could fly while we were on the swing set. It takes me to another world and makes me feel like I'm dreaming.

OKAY HERES A ROLEPLAY WITH THIS SONG.: the deer would look at the pretty pink-ish skies. The bushes would be in full bloom of flowers, and the leaves of the trees would be a bright, glossy brown. With her head bent low, she would watch in awe, the many different colours of the flowerbeds and pathways, the way the flowers would appear almost different every time she glanced over, the many different varieties of colourful flowers in full bloom. lots of dew this flower was very uniqe it had a small droopy flower head, but so many colours. the flowers would eventually die and be covered up by their many stems, like a patch of dew on the morning grass, they would never become wilted, they would simply lie there, covered by a thick layer of dew, lying flat on the grass as if they had fallen asleep, waiting for the morning sun to wake them up. the world seemed almost cold, the grass wasnt as shiny or green no-more , it was brown and tired looking, as if it had taken it's last breath. maybe the world did too, maybe this flower was the last of its kind, maybe it had given it's all, as if it was tired and was ready to give it up for good. sometimes things need to be let go, and let the sun do it's work, cause sometimes its hard to give up things that are beautiful. the deer would continue to watch as the sun would set, she would then lift her head to see a familiar flower. she had never seen this flower before, it was a pink flower with little drops of dew on the petals, the flower was small, smaller than any of the others. she had never seen the flower in a different type of environment than the flowers on her own land, she wondered why this flower was only growing in a little wooded clearing. She would soon find out. lots of water The deer went near the city near her , a wall was there, she would follow it to her new home. the water was much colder than she had ever felt before, it was a cold grey, cold, cold. when she looked closer to the water it was a bright pink, it was the prettiest pink flower she had ever seen, so pretty, just like the flower on the grass earlier. a stream flowed alongside the flower, all the flowers in the wall were placed in front of it. The flower did not seem like the one in the city, this one was smaller and it had a real flower head that was falling off at the bottom. just like the flowers in the city, they were always wilted, some were also pretty! if they could last forever, they would be the prettiest flowers in the world, if they could give up all of their petals so they could grow up tall and shiny and smell good, then this flower would be the prettiest flower in the whole world. the flower would smell like nature and the woods itself lots of dew When she looked closer, she realised it was different to the flower on her land, it seemed older, older, older, as if the flower had been in the same spot for a very long time, it had almost shed all of it's petals already, maybe it had been like this for years? just as she was wondering why it was so sad, it felt like something touched her, it was her mother, looking down at her, smiling and petting the flower. sometimes flowers need to give up their petals so they can grow up tall and very shiny, sometimes the flower needs to give it's all to reach the sky, maybe the flower needed to shed some of it's petals to gain it's height and make it's shape as beautiful as it was meant to be. the flower still had a few small droplets of dew on it, but it would be covered up by the leaves, the flower had little flower heads on it with little flower heads of their own. the flower had taken it's last breath and was now turning into a flower with little flower heads, they still had plenty of petals and the flower would not be touched by anything, it would just die right infront of teh deers eyes. sometimes things need to be let go, and sometimes the world needs to let it go, to let the beauty in the flower grow, for it may have lost it's shine but it had given it's all, the flower had given itself life but . everything has to end. teh deer saw a hunter and. the deers life ended too. lots of dew When the hunter came in, it seemed strange that the flower did not move, as the hunter walked towards teh flower he saw it move, the flower was coming back to life, teh flower was lifting it's head, it's little flower heads started to shine bright and small flowers started to fall from the bottom of the flower, the flower was growing up tall and shining! the flower just needed it's dews, to give it strength, to give it a face. a little stem was growing out of teh flower, the stem was little and very green, it started to grow up tall, but then it broke and fell . The End! (yes i did just type that out. my fingers are dead)

[@-randomuser-4897]

It reminds me how i can only look at my early childhood through my current, distorted lense, and how i won't ever truly feel, or even, remember how happy, carefree and hopeful i was. Those faint memories that i can only remember in concepts are already so distant, they barely feel real; i can only cling onto memories that feel like another life. I'm glad i got to experience such good times and happiness, with people that i used to love and trust, and still do for some; at least, i once got to experience joy or contempt, and this specific music feels like those times. Thank you, so much. Have a nice day, cherish your time here on Earth, and please take care of yourself.

Pov: Youre in your apartament. Standing on a balcony at 5:00AM when you see a sunrise. And in your memories you go back to the days when as a child you were out the whole day playing with your friends. Such beautyfull feeling, isn't it? Another pov: you can see the memories where you and your childhood friend were playing outside and it was sunset. You want to meet you childhood friend again...

That's an interesting thing though, hearing music that makes you vividly recall a period of your life.
