But it doesn’t change the fact that the song still gives me a thrill and brings back all the memories of how clueless and traumatized I was. I remember that on January 1, 2000, humankind around the world celebrated the beginning of the new millennium-which apparently was one year too early. The song reminds me of a new hope and a new beginning. “Anthem for the Year 2000” by Silverchair Why am I almost in tears thinking about this song? Oh God. IT’S TOO GOOD! I miss the lip sync video days so badly. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 because of this song. Apparently, they were the first Asian-American group to hit no. Yeah, they really were A MOVEMENT! The power they held with this song. LEGENDARY, I TELL YOU! This and “Rocketeer.” That era of incorporating the word “swag” into your daily vocabulary unironically.
#CHILDHOOD NOSTALGIA PLAYLIST TV#
This was a TV show opening that should never EVER be skipped.
It’s the “I’m Not Like Other Girls” anthem. Something about the music sends my happiness levels into orbit. The whole H2O soundtrack by Kate Alexa is always sitting in the back of my brain because it’s a flawless piece of work, but WHEW the theme song is amazing. I remember hearing “Sometimes I walk a little faster / In the school hallway / Just to get next to you” and being like “Wo“Ordinary Girl” by Kate Alexa When I listen to it, there are all these layers that make it very nostalgic for me. The song also makes me feel nostalgic because it was used brilliantly in one of my favorite films, Grosse Pointe Blank. Not to say I would have wanted to live in the Cold War, but the song makes me think about what it would be like to live in a time so different and yet so similar to our own. This German new wave jam tells the story of nuclear destruction in the time of the Berlin Wall, and it makes me feel nostalgic for a time I didn’t experience. It’s not because I hate it or anything, I love it, but because it reminds me of my long history with the song, and it makes me too emotional to properly enjoy it. Nowadays, I hardly ever listen to the song. At the time, I remember mostly being captivated by the music video, and by Régine Chassagne dancing with suburban zombies, but the song’s synth-pop energy and opening line “they heard me singing and they told me to stop” also had a lot of power over me.
There are many songs I love that I remember my parents playing for me when I was a kid, but Sprawl II is probably the one that means the most to me. “Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)” by Arcade Fire Turn the volume up and travel through time with us! For this month’s playlist, Kindergarten contributors handpicked songs that make them feel the most nostalgic, ranging from childhood favorites to middle school anthems.
