If you ever find yourself searching for songs that can take you back to those carefree pre-pandemic days, you may want to look on Spotify. And while those songs may not have that same kind of sonic magic when you hear them in a different setting, they do bring about a certain kind of nostalgia-a longing for the so-called Before Times or perhaps an escape from the dreadful present. You know the ones: the kind of tracks you’d never play on loop in your earphones, but once you hear them, bring back memories so vivid you remember exactly where you were, who you were with, and what you were doing.Īmid a nearly two-year-long pandemic, you may have found yourself listening to those songs-that EDM song that plays at the club, that cheesy '80s anthem you hear on your daily commute, that lo-fi tune the designated driver plays on the way home, you get the gist.
