Evokes a sense of nostalgia for the 80’s, an era I didn’t get to experience. Gives me nostalgia for my father. Although the first time I discovered this song was not through him, but rather when I was 9 years old, watching Season 5, Episode 22 of Regular Show titled ‘Skips Story’. One of the most soul-touching pieces of children’s media out there. Nowadays, I appreciate this song nowadays for its lyrics. It is almost Mishima-coded. The pagans and most ancient societies praised and envied the youth, rather than what we have today, where we praise the wise and experienced. Most great stories are about the pursuit of eternal beauty and greatness. After all, that is why the Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León went on the pursuit of the fountain of youth. It is also why, when you go to the YouTube comments of this song, you see people reminiscing about what was a better time. The youth have the privilege to see the world as though it were new; you probably have memories of the world around you when you were younger being much more colorful and full of life. This is not a placebo but rather a real effect. There was a study recently that concluded that older adults' pupils constrict less in response to high color saturation. In other words, the world around you was much more saturated and colorful in the spring of your life. This is also why Jesus teaches in Matthew 18:3–4 that people must become like little children to enter the kingdom of heaven. Fantastic song, nowadays overplayed, and just as my pupils constrict less in response to high color saturation, the aural calcification has built as this song gets played for menial purposes, which is why I reserve this to 1-3 plays a year. Powerful stuff; I’d rather not have that power fade.
