Molly Nilsson "1995"

Molly Nilsson "1995"
Song taken from the album Zenith. Out September 25th 2015 on Dark Skies Association and Night School Records. Video by Chris Filippini and Molly Nilsson.
Saxophone by Katja Navarra. Lyrics:
Windows 95, you're long gone but I'm still alive
I've gone so far, not even knowing how
I suppose the world is so much smaller now
The plans that you made,
when you still had the time
I've saved all the things
that you left behind
but by now I guess I'd consider them all mine
Windows 95,
is only a metaphor for what I feel inside
Although I'm older now,
there's still an emptiness
that's never letting go somehow
Have you ever walked into what seemed,
to be somebody else's dream?
And though the time won't let you pass,
it keeps you looking through the glass
1995,
they call the year the future was to arrive
But back in '95
we thought we were standing on the threshold
to the end of time
(And we still do)
So what's wrong with living in the past?
It just happens to be the place I saw you last
And what's wrong with living in a dream?
That one day the echo answers,
deep inside of me
I'll remember 1995
I'll remember 1995

I’m sitting here in the future listening to this in 2024. I Brought 1995 with me because it’s the best year ever 👊🏻

[@jasonzacharias2150]

It was dec3nt as far as social engineering and numerology goes

[@Grafknar]

Yes. It was. Praise be to God. For the lessons learned. For the optimism for the future. It’s almost been 30 years. May you have as many years in your life like the one I had that year when I turned 18 and my whole future was ahead of me. And fear not… when I hear it, I remember… it still is. 👊😊

[@horrorgardener]

1995, I was 15 years old and hopeful. I miss those friends from back there.

[@1846tt]

I was 15 depressed and full of psychotic rage. But then the girl I really liked and i got together after a 15 month complex courtship, and her gentle kind nature really cured a lot and taught me how to love. Ironically, her fam got a computer and was my first &largest exp with... WINDOWS 95. What a sing along

[@utubesucks2003]

you mad?

[@SamSarracino]

I was 14.

[@pablot-r9402]

Definitely "kills". Melodically (for me), it gives me feelings of leaving behind all that pains me and looking & moving forward towards the positivity of the unknown, unforeseen, and endless possibilities, and I can feel the barbs & hooks of past negative life experiences ripping out of me (this brings mild tears) as I continue moving forward. It's bittersweet and comforting. I was a little younger in 1995, myself (high school junior).

[@whitestormy2021]

Lost my mom to cancer in the summer of 1995, when I was 5. Never has a song personally resonated this much.

[@rangda_prime]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate that at 3:31 Molly sings out of beat and she still kept it in the video. That's a slice of warm humanity cutting through the cool melancholy of this song and it adds something special to it.

[@stonepark100]

Crazy how the detached grace of her voice makes me feel warm and nostalgic. Top shelf lyrics and phrasing too, girl knows how to write a hook that crushes.

[@humanp4th]

Her eyes are insane. Also, I like how she makes her voice like this, a lot of artists attempt a sort of nostalgic distortion as part of some trend but usually sound pretty terrible. Molly does something really cool with it however.

[@prettyprettygood4420]

Dandy Andy clearly haven't found better music which isn't hard to do when you're given this

[@JdTV79]

That's what Ariel Pink does as well. They are both fantastic.

[@MonoChorMe]

ikr, her signing voice has a sort of 50's/60's style to it... except its more modern (the music that is).

[@terrorbyte5352]

John Maus also has some great music, same thing with Ariel Pink

[@phlubblebubble]

@@MonoChorMe her voice reminds me of Nico, so...yeah.

I graduated high school and set out to college in 1995. You have literally no idea how I feel this in my soul. No. Earthly. Idea…. Unless you do. And if you do, thank the Holy Spirit. He’s blessed you as He has blessed me. 🕊️

[@Lux-ow5vf]

@@nolimit6377 It isn't just about recapturing lost youth. The 90s were better in so many ways, especially compared to now. No social media, good music. And people weren't such narcissistic posers. People actually did stuff, not just pretend to do things to take photos for instagram. Cassettes and videos, toys, cartoons etc. Was the last decent decade...

I saw her live in spring of 2019 when I was going through a lot of positive changes. Seeing her was so much fun. It was such an experience to bop along to this song. I will remember that moment. So pleasant to find myself in that space. Maybe it helped cement some of the quiet joy I was experiencing.

I'm usually not a lyrics person but dadgum does this one get to me. Maybe it's cause 1995 was a bit of a tumultuous year in my own childhood. Maybe it's all of the home movies playing in the background ending with the graveside shot - powerful song, bravo.

[@mervedurmaz7071]

Wait, you mean at 3.40?

[@abmaximus]

+Alice Needham More like 3:31 . I wouldn't dare to claim it was made on purpose if you notice her slightly embarrased smile that must have been quite a natural reaction to what had happened.

[@SteveGarza]

I agree. Most artists and producers would've said DO IT AGAIN! I'm glad they kept it. It adds a little humbleness to an already great song.
