Wow, so true though. There are songs that when I have shuffle on and my whole collection is up for grabs that really transport me. At least for a few seconds, I am that person that listened to that song 5 or 10 years ago.
How long does nostalgia last in those instances? I tend to find it wears off after the first chorus or verse, or even the first 10-15 seconds of a nostalgic song. Do you have a similar experience, Jans?

So you're the first one to truly get upset about nostalgia, huh! I mean, I get upset sometimes too, but definitely not angry. I often go into a very sad mood and start dreaming up imaginary regrets and wishing I could do things over. Music is a seriously powerful tool in that way.
