Hello "old" Gal! I am 11, Born 2012, May. It somehow makes me feel relaxed too. I'm going into high school next september, and I'm always going to listen to old songs, my Grandfathers favourite was "Tie A Yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree". There truly is young in the old, And I'm trying to preserve every bit of it. Born in the wrong generation I say. I remember him saying "Now do you know... what year is it?". I never cried at his funeral, so that he would not think i was dissapointed at him. I am mildly tearing up now, though i shouldn't. My house was built in the 1670's. Goodnight for now; we will meet again.
@@AltonTRU I’m just like you, only a couple years older. You’re probably the first twelve year old I’ve seen that talks in a way beyond your years. Although my grandparents died before I was born and my house isn’t as old as yours, I always feel a deep, longing connection in my heart to the past. When I was a little girl, I remember hearing jazz play in the background of old cartoons I used to watch, thinking it sounded delightful. And ever since then, I’ve felt greatly drawn to the times in which those old cartoons and music was made. I somehow miss the “good ol’ days”, even though I wasn’t even born to experience them in the first place. I don’t know how to describe my feelings. Homesickness? Nostalgia? Belonging? My real home has always felt many years before this generation, somewhere nestled in the fading past. My heart belongs somewhere in a quaint, old city busting with old-fashioned automobiles and the sounds of vintage jazz playing out of every corner. Somewhere you could only go 100 years ago. Perhaps when time machines are invented, I can go back to the times my grandparents were blessed enough to be born in. It’s silly, but I can dream, can’t I?
I was born in 1938 but had two sisters 12 and 15 years older than me. I remember them listening to these old songs on the radio. Sadly, they both have passed away. Now, listening to this music spiritually reconnects me with them.
My mum was born in 1938 she and her mum my nana have both now gone I miss them so much, my nana used to sing these songs from the 40s God bless them both I hope they found each other again ❤️
I'm 18, most people my age dare not even appreciate these masterpieces, i say there's nothing more joyful than cooking and listening to the originality of what music truly is!
Speaking of cooking, my grandparents still listen to this type of music and I love going over and hearing it in there kitchen. Grew up with it practically
Agreed. My mum always said you can’t beat the oldies. They are beautiful to listen to while cooking. She was born 1927. She has been gone four years now and the music takes me back. I think it’s marvellous you listen to this while cooking. 😊
My daughter, who is 30, just sent me this Playlist. She said it resonates with her soul. My mom loved this music, which was from her youth. She passed away when I was 8 weeks pregnant with my girl, so it's no surprise this timeless music resonates with her soul. Whenever I hear it, I always think of my mom. Now, I'll think of both of these wonderful and beloved women, my mother and daughter, both of whom are the most precious loves of my life!
I'm a teenage guy, still young with a lot to learn and a whole world to discover but I love this kind of music, makes me feel calm, comfortable and happy for some reason. They always told me that I'm an old soul and if that's what they meant than I can't deny
Don't mind them😅 You're not an old soul. You're a well-balanced young guy. Yes, go out and discover the old and the new. As an old song goes " See the pyramids along the Nile, watch the sunrise on a tropic isle.... see the market place in old Algiers... and on and on. May the Force be with you or God or whatever you conceive Him to be.
My grandmother was born in 1927 and had a stash of these records at the old house for when she visited. I remember coming home from school and knowing she had arrived as soon as I heard this music when I walked in the door.
Sunny side of the street .my mum sang that every day while doing the washing ..she had a very gd voice even the day she died .sounded like an 18yr old and remembered all those old songs at 98 and 7 months .
This. This is music. Real voice, real instruments... Not synthetic. Amazing. My momma raised me on several generations of music during her times growing up, and I too have shared them with my kiddos. I believe having a vast musical repertoire increases intelligence... Just a theory. 😊
Here I am reading through comments and my heart is warmed to see such a lovely age range of people listening. Just want to throw ours out there: I was born in the 1990s and my little one was born in the 2020s - we are both currently enjoying a good listen right now and many other times sit back and enjoy music like this ❤ wishing an absolute beautiful day to everyone!!
I remember when I got my first car, it came with like a month of XM radio for free...I listened to 40s on 4 every day. It reminded me of warm spring and summer days at my grandma's house where she would have the radio playing these all day.
This is the music my folks listened to. I was born in 1945. They had a lot of 78's like Frank Sinatra, Gene Krupa, Tommy Dorsey, Nat King Cole, Patti Page, Perry Como, Ella Fitzgerald, Doris Day, Bing Crosby. I have most of that collection today. Thank God they loved music.
We had no TV till 1957. I grew up with radio still live the sound, while I do as I please. Freedom. I was 13 when the TV and a dance show was on from.Philly.💙💙
This is great. Now I can pretend I live in the great decade where people helped and looked after each other. When folks wanted to work and food was home cooked.
@@vicgallimore6756 Well it seems you lived a nice life, mate. What I would give to live in the 40’s, 60’s hell even 80’s. Our generation has changed drastically and everything is different now. People can’t tell what gender they are anymore, all kids do nowadays is play video games and live off TikTok. I wish I lived a more natural life where not everything evolved around the internet. I was born in the wrong time period.
I was born in 1961, and I only listen to 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and early 70s music. I also enjoy movies, B/W, from the same eras. I think being born in any of those eras was a great time for any kid to be born in. Life was so much nicer and simpler back then, a lot more than today.
@@tonycollazorappo ,tebi je uvek tuđe bolje, trava je zelenija u tuđem dvorištu. Živi svoj život najbolje što znaš, jer dok gledaš u tuđe dvorište, život ti prolazi. 🤗🇷🇸🤗
That is why the music was so romantic, lovely, cheerful, hopeful. To keep people's spirits up! I love it. My parents were young during World War II, my Dad a vet (US Army Corps of Engineers), my Mom a Red Cross Volunteer. I grew up with the music they played.
Thanks to my love of classic movies from the late 1930s, 1940s and early 1950s, I have always been partial to this soothing genre of music. It is a pleasure to listen to it while working. Thanks for sharing these treasures with us.
I listen to sirus radio on channel71. I think about my grand parents ,when I listen to this. I miss them.Thank you for sharing this instrumental music.
valve radios,superior to the transistor which was dreadful,granny had an old radio which was warm and comforting to listen too,and yes the cabinet made all the difference.
Love the photo-it captures the time my father (1921 born) told of living in a boarding house, gathering around the radio. When Glen Miller’s In the Mood came on, all the young people came running out of their rooms to sit closer and listen.
This music reminds me of my old friend John, who's stories of his life after the war allowed me to care and appreciate my own life more he is certainly missed but he left in my heart the love for this music and I will always cherish his memory for it.
I am 93 years old and I remember listening and dancing to all this great music. Once the war ended everything got better and then we really started to enjoy ourselves. Great memories.
I am to young to remember the times but love the music.There is something magical about those old valve radios and the lights on the dial. The timber finish was also nice to look at.
@@garyfrancis6193 there always has to be an angry person aboard. Have u never made a mistake? Let some things go and you will live a happier calmer life. Listen to the old music and enjoy the simplicity of the past. Not the now, where everyone hates each other for no reason. Stupid reasons like,. Don’t you know the difference btwn to and too. Just listen to yourself. This is constructed criticism. Learn from it. Don’t live in anger. 🙏🏼
I really enjoy this kind of music and so glad I found your site ! I think of what my parents were listening to back then. I do miss them so much. I especially like listening to this as I am preparing supper. It had to be a simpler and more uncomplicated time back then.🤗
I 'm 78 yrs old never heard this songs I only got int'rsted in music in the 80's and discovered I could sing,Thank God it's a God given voice..These songs being played ,fantastics,magnificent
I wish I could have been old enough to realize what a gem vinyls and music was when my grandad was still alive. he'd be so proud of the collection i have today. thank you for posting this, reminds me of him :)
I was born in the forties but grew up on Rock and Roll of the fifties. Sometimes I'd tell my mother that's a new song and she'd say "No, that's just a remake of an old one from years gone by." My favorite of the forties has to be the great Glenn Miller orchestra's "In the Mood".
Thank you very much for these beautiful songs, some of them are new to me but others I've heard them before and all these pieces of jewel are very, very sweet!
Judy Garland has such a beautiful voice. I really love listening to her voice. You won't find genuinely good singers and clean music today. I am 27 years old and quite disappointed by what my generation has to offer.
I'm 14 and i adore this kind of music i wish people would still make music like that, i would have loved to be born by that time, myself i hate the generation I'm born in i would love to be born in the 1920s Sorry if i made some orthographic errors I'm from France
Does this ever bring back some great memories. I am 93 and I feel that I am a very lucky guy. Of course we had the depression, polio, and the War, but at the same time we were surrounded by good honest concerning people. Then we hit the 50,s and then life began. I really miss those days.
when I was a kid, I always watched tom and jerry, often the oldies song was played. somehow listening to oldies makes me go back to my childhood even though I'm still 23 XD Thanks Tom & Jerry
