What is nostalgia?
The fond remembrance of you childhood, whether it be of something you'd think completely stupid now or not. It tends to make me think of people sitting around with dopey smiles on their faces as they remember something from their childhood.
What images come to mind when you hear this music?
Rock Around the Clock- I think of a stage full of various grades of elementary schoolers as they sing along with the song. Some may be swaying, while other stand still, because they think they are too cool for that. The grades and classes are tiered, too, as they are on bleacher-like things so as to to fit all of the students at the elementary school. Even though I am a 5th grader in this memory, I was near the front of the groups.
What images pop up in your head when you think of your childhood?
I picture the house I lived in in Tennessee, larger than my house no (at least it seems that way in my memory), along with my long driveway, which lead down into the road to my church, and the playground at my church and all the friends from there. That makes me jump to thought of my school's playground, so I think of my teacher at school, and my kindergarten talent show (maybe helped by the fact that we're talking about music) where I wanted to sing, "Drops of Jupiter" by Train. I didn't sing it, but now it always makes me think of the talent show (where I actually did an act with my girl scout troop.)
Thoughtful entry. Keep up the good work. Your voice is starting to appear in the parenthesis.
