What song makes you feel nostalgic for a time you never lived through?
I'm going to tweak the question a little bit.
One of the useless bits of information I've gathered over the years is that nostalgia originally meant something more like homesickness....and I've got a better answer for this question
What song makes you feel homesick for a place you've never lived?
This song, as I understand it, is about the southern states of America. I first heard it when we were still living in London, and every time I heard it Johnny was, in my head, singing about Wiltshire accents rather than Southern ones
There's a Wiltshire accent, where I come from The young 'uns call it country The Yankees call it dumb
I got my own way of talkin' But everything is done, with a Wiltshire accent Where I come from
