This is the perfect song for these. No one has grown up with this song however everyone says it has a nostalgic feeling, and these pictures are supposed to give off anemoia the feeling of nostalgia for something you haven't experienced.

One time I had a dream that I was in a really dark ball pit area, it had slides and a water area, all vibrant colors. It was really cool, but it was empty. To me that's what I see when I hear the song and the image at 2:02 has a similar vibe to my dream. Almost that big dark expansion room that you can't see the end to because it looks like endless black enclosed space but it's filled with colorful objects.

I swear to God I've been to this place at 2:20 it sorta reminds me of this department store(?) that was either near the Grand Canyon or near the hotel my class (this was a field trip by the way) stayed in. Either way I recognize those doors for some reason, and Jesus that's eerie

[@That_One_Guy_In_A_Band]

It looks almost exactly like the entrance to my middle school, assuming you took the bus. If you walked, or got a ride from your parents, you got to go in through the front lobby, and it was actually quite nice, but... I'm almost positive that's my old middle school. Even down to the brick wall on the left and the cinderblock wall on the right. And given the colour, I can feel the temperature of that photo, and it's cold. Very vivid memories of getting off the bus in late autumn very early in the morning, being so cold I could see my own breath... Definitely reminds me more of NY than it does AZ.

[@aleksi2627]

This actually fills me with dread. Like found this song a week ago. I get goosebumps everytime. And this video just enhances the feeling. It's so god damn strange I feel like I'm going mad. I get this feeling that reminds me of 7th grade Christmas. 13-years old. I remember getting a Christmas present from my first ever girlfriend. The darkness of the Finnish winter in a very small city. The loneliness, anger, sadness and confusion of growing up. The feeling of everything falling apart and the strange urge to dwell in it and actually decide to break my world into pieces. I don't know. The horror this presents to me is actually so great that if there were a song that could drive me to game-end myself (I wouldn't), this song would be it. No doubt. Actually some cursed shit. The song makes me think about 80s space anime too I don't know why: Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honneamise. I have never seen the film and know nothing about it.

My dad once took my older brother and I to a firearms expo that was held in the store of a vacant shopping mall somewhere in Ohio (not sure exactly what mall it was but potentially Randal Park Mall), and there was nothing more than rope poles separating the showfloor from the empty mall. At some point I slipped under it and stood there in the main walkway, gazing upon the potted plants and massive staircases illuminated by nothing but the sun shining through the skylights. I think back to that moment a lot.
