blast from a non-existent past

I was suddenly in the mood for 80's feel-good music. I've been down in the dumps lately and I haven't been thinking straight these past few days.

Just a few minutes ago, out of nowhere, a familiar 80's tune started playing in my head. I wasn't doing anything when it happened. I wasn't watching the TV nor was anything playing in the background. It was weird how I suddenly had an 80's song playing in my head. I don't even know the name of the song or who sang it (because I'm not really a fan of music from that generation) but this particular song, while playing in my head, made me feel relaxed. Unfortunately, by the time I got to my computer to search for the name of the song, I already forgot what the lyrics were and how it went. And so, here I am, blindly searching YouTube for feel-good 80's music.

So far, this song has caught my attention:

Phil Collins - Take Me Home

I did listen to Phil Collins songs as a child. My parents exposed me to a wide range of music so, somehow, I could say that there was a time in my life when I sang to this. It does feel good listening to it now.

And after a few more minutes of searching, I finally found the song that was playing in my head earlier. It turns out to be from the 70's - contrary to my assumption that it was an 80's song. Anyway, these songs are not really my forte so sue me. It's a love song from Dan & John Ford Coley called "I'd Really Love To See You Tonight." Come to think of it, after reading the lyrics, I may know exactly why this song suddenly played in my head. Hehe...
