    Time goes by so quickly that we don’t realise where it’s gone. Last week, we took a trip down memory lane and visited times gone by, good and bad, but came to a realization, and in this video I’ll share what that was. Has time gone by so quickly for you too?

    My channel is where I'll share my memories, chat about life in general and share my love of music, old films and more.
    What you won't find is my thoughts on politics, religion and such like as I've always believed them to be personal.
    Here, it's all about sharing those things I've learned through the years, and remembering events that have stayed with me.

    I don't think gen Z onwards will have that type of nostalgia with music. Music, tv, film used to be very unique to its era.

      You’re right because my youth was always with portable radio or cassette Walkman I wonders if the you tube show that started your memory going back to 1970 year in music -was it the David Atkinson channel it’s up to 1980 now

    Always fantastic videos you give to make us think. I find that the music I always want to go back to is from my younger days. Not always pleasant memories. There is a Cat Stevens song that brings back memories of heartache. I can listen to the Andrews Sisters and have a good cry. But that's before my time. Of course many songs that bring back happy memories. Why else would we listen? In the 60's the pop charts were torn between what the parents wanted and what us kids wanted. It was easy to choose sides. There really was no choice.

    • @JamesMurphyYT

      I love the Andrews Sisters. My parents used to play their songs a lot of the time.
      Being Mir Bist Du Schoen is favourite.

    Hi! Tim from the new retired me "brought" me to uour channel. I was born in late 1974, and I often think/feel that time has sped up the last 10 to 15 years. I always think that's because we are settled in more or less of a routine. We have already finished school/university, we got married, had kids, the important moments you strive to achieve are done...maybe that's the reason. Greetings from Portugal!

    • @JamesMurphyYT

      Hi Sofia, nice to meet you. I'm pleased to say that Tim is just like he is on video. It was good to meet him.
      I know where you're coming from. Life semmes to speed up every year.
      It only seems tow minutes ago that we welcomed this new year in.
      Thanks for checking my channel out.
      I hope to speak to you again.

    Speaking "quantitatively" it's because each year is a smaller fraction of your life and thus feels relatively shorter. When you were 5 years old, a year was 20% of your existence...so when they said "your birthday is next year" it basically meant NEVER lol. Now when someone says "next year" it's 1/42nd of my life and thus feels like they mean tomorrow!

    Thanks for the drive. A major bit of multitasking there. I coluld never drive and concentrate that much on putting together a vid. What a wonderful time to be alive, to be able to revisit the music of the past. Just think, in days back much of the music went the way of the composer or performer. And, alot of times, if you didn't play it, you didn't listen to it. I'm going to try to leave a Birthday message in the next comment. Should it not take, then Happy Birthday!!!
