The teens and 21-25`s now are into nothing but digitized rep/hip hop and have no attention span because of the tach. you speak of. They react to these old tunes(check out reaction vids) and take rock lyrics literally , not understanding analogies or poetic license. If they hear "my baby blue", they think it means "oh, he`s talking about his new child with blue eyes", not a reference to a girlfriend he is singing about. Not the best example, but ya get my meaning.

My mother was too- she said he was so intelligent and charismatic- he WAS too! His voice in my ear gave me chills- I will never forget the way he said my name, ohhhhhhh talk about swoon! He is tall too! I was 16 :) what a way to learn how to French Kiss! i didn't even have a boyfriend- never kissed a boy, util Peter WWOWOWOWO!

Looking back with the mind of an adult and musician, the boys were really given a ticket to stardom and had a fuckton of good songs to work with.

Hey madam/sir, I'm Gen X (1973) and I vaguely remember seeing some of The Monkeys' shows on re-run channels, and I just loved them. I'm re-visiting some of their songs and remembering their own magic. They are/were really talented for their time, and I'm glad they are still people from your generation reveling in their music, still. Cheers :)

I agree with you. Not sure how gracefully I have aged. But times from my past are locked into some wonderful memories. It looks as though you embrace a culture as well. I do also. A much different one. But music has always been magical to me. Far back in my youth. I still have an extensive music collection. And every song brings me to a place or person. Many I've lost. Families mostly were bigger in my time. 8 in mine all gone but 1. Most were lost at young ages. But these songs refresh that time for me. It's magical as I said. ✌️☮️🌹🥲

This song is 2 minutes and 46 seconds of pure joy. None of today's songs can match its melody, lyrics and hook.

[@tedwojtasik8781]

That's because writing music has become a lost art. Computer programs do the writing now based on an algorithm of what people supposedly want. This is why there has not been a popular song with a key change since 2002. They no longer know how to write a proper melody and don't understand how to use key changes and time changes to enhance and color the mood(s) of a song. That is what's missing from modern music. It reminds me of the Bowie / Ronson collaboration. Bowie wrote the songs on guitar and brought a very crude and basic structure to Ronson who then molded that song into the tunes we know and love. Ronson created the arrangements, key changes and time shifts. That was all 100% Ronson.
