The View From Here – Nostalgia Is Powerful

Nostalgia is powerful isn’t it?  All those things that remind us of our younger days that make us smile.  There’s a reason it’s a powerful marketing tool.  We love to be reminded of carefree days.

I got hit with a bit of nostalgia today.  It came up on my Facebook feed.  One of the sites I can still see (sarcasm implied).   It’s Duran Duran appreciation day.    

For me, that’s pretty much every day, (smile) but let’s play along.  It brings me back to my (ahem) younger days.  When music was everything.  Buying our music was still a thing.  We waited anxiously on every single album release.  We were glued to the radio hoping to hear our favourite songs.

Yep. Music is powerful.  And the songs you grew up with, the bands you grew up with – they are still with you.

For me Duran Duran was the first band that I fell in love with.  I’ve seen them three times in concert and they just get better.

What is “your” band?  The one that you never get tired of listening to no matter how old you get?  The band that has brought you through good times and bad times?  The band you own every album and know every word to every song?
