I like the idea of negative nostalgia, but I can't think of an adequate word for it. "Melancholy" fits, but not specifically for looking back, so it is too general. "Regrets" seems to...concrete. "Wistful" is accurate, and I get wistful a lot, but it seems such a light and airy word for a deeper emotional response. A wonderful word--one of my favorites--but it doesn't have the weight for this song. Hmmmm....
This is a song that carves itself in your soul as the years go by.

Day 22: A song from the 70s - 1973
I always try to go with the first song that comes to mind... First time I heard this song, I knew I would love it always and I always have.
"Day after day I'm more confused
Yet I look for the light through the pouring rain"

I was obsessed with the Hurricane movie when I was young, the one with Denzel Washington. This song was my real introduction to Dylan's music, and it's still one I come back to from time to time. It's Dylan at his best; his voice is for once not annoying, the writing and story telling are top notch, and the violin solos by Scarlet Rivera are just chef's kiss!
Rubin's trials were absolute shits hows. The racism, the witness coercion, the blatant lies by officers... But on the other hand, the circumstantial physical evidence against him could be stacked sky-high. He was, without a doubt, wrongfully convicted. But was he truly innocent? Jury's still out.

Day 23: A song from the 80s
Has this song been chosen for decades week before? Probably. Did you know Billy Idol was asked to sing this song and declined? Yep! He does eventually sing it in 2001.
This song is probably the most 80's song that ever 80'd. Along with the movie it was written for.
Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving everything inside and out and
Love's strange, so real in the dark
Think of the tender things
that we were working on
Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby
Don't You Forget About Me - Simple Minds 1985

Day 23: A song from the 80s
R.E.M. - Gardening At Night
That's a flower theme, right?
The 80's wasn't all electronica and "hair" bands

Day 23: A song from the 80s(1989).
Thought that this was rather apt for this website.
"I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real"

Day 23: A Song From The 80s
This is my wheelhouse. I can pick so many 80s songs. But this is my favorite band and I tried to go a little different since me and a couple others have hit the Maiden catalog on this thread!
Iron Maiden, Tailgunner
