Born 1993, when I was around 5/6 me and my family had to move to Germany, Osnabruck because my Dad was stationed there for being in the British Army. We stayed there until 2001. I can honestly say from what memories are still there in my head, are the best years of my life. If I could just relive those days, just for a few hours, I would be so happy. I spend hours crying happy/sad tears on Google Earth Pro with the time machine of the maps. Seeing my old Primary School before it was demolished. Seeing the Army barracks my dad was at before that too was sadly demolished. Seeing my old childhood home which I haven't seen since we left 23 years ago. It's even more saddening with how Germany's privacy laws are. Google Street view is practically none existent. So the buildings and the streets I fondly remember are mainly just these pixelated resemblances of buildings that I still vividly remember from my childhood but I can't see how are now or was a few years ago. I only have what I remember, and the odd remnants of videos here on YouTube which is extremely lacking and rare to find Thankfully some time last year, Germany finally lifted those privacy laws for Google Maps Street view and i finally got to see my home again for the first time since we all left way back in 2001. I will be honest. I've never cried so much in such a long time. It was harrowingly different everywhere i looked around Osnabruck but I could also see things that haven't changed at all. The walks we went on, the Warner Brothers Movie Theme Park down south near Dorsten. Pony rides in the woods and picking the oldest one there who was called Boris. I picked him all the time because he liked to eat the grass a lot which made the ride last longer so I could spend more time with him. The little & big lake walk just behind the Nettebad. The traditional Christmas Markets in the town centre. Playing video games when my Dad finally came home on my Playstation 1, we would try and beat the games in one day but never could because I didn't have a memory card. Getting excited whenever Pokemon was on the TV. Friends round mine to share the big swimming pool I had. Watching Halloween Town before going out trick or treating. Finding our first ever pet, a kitten abandoned behind a grit bin while we were on a bike ride and taking her home, we named her Millie. So many memories. All lost to time. With only old VHS tapes & photographs to try and relive those memories at least just a tiny bit. Oh what Id do just to go back to those days. Nostalgia is such a beautiful but cruel mistress. I hate to love it and love to hate it. I Miss you Osnabruck. I miss you childhood. But. I have a baby daughter now. And I honestly can not wait to be the best father I can possibly be. And to make everlasting memories with her that she can look back on and smile just as much as I do looking back at the ones I made with my Mum & Dad. Oh Germany. Oh Osnabruck. Oh childhood. You were the best of days. I'll revisit you one day. With the whole family hopefully.
Nostalgia is the most beautiful form of pain..
Honestly, it breaks my heart how Manifest and Receive by Eva Hartley isn’t getting the attention it deserves. This book changed me. People need to wake up to this.
I hate how good nostalgia feels, I want to live in that feeling forever.
Im only 18yrs old but i already miss my little childhood memories, bc i know i will never get them back tysm for this playlist 🖤
Back in February i lost my mom. It's been extremely difficult to cope, though music helps me often. I'm still so young I can't believe she's gone and i haven't even graduated school yet, I miss her so much. So whoever is reading this please tell your parents you love them and don't ever take them for granted... You never know when it's the last time you see them...
Es curioso como con depresión estas canciones te hunden pero si estás alegre te hacen pensar en lo linda que ha sido la vida en esos pequeños instantes
nostalgia for something I've never felt.....
Couldn’t sleep last night so I took a motorcycle ride at 2 am. About an hour into it I found myself approaching the entrance to the neighborhood of my childhood home. So I figured what the heck let’s see how the house looks after 10+ years. As I pulled onto my street the second track started playing, I found myself parked down the street just staring at my old house in tears. Not sure why life is relatively smooth atm, idk man just the sudden emotional rush of playing with my dad and sister in the yard was just too much of a reminder how far we’ve grown apart as a family. Sadly I don’t think we’ll all ever be that close again as a family, and we all without realizing how good the moment was, took it for granted. The love hasn’t died, but the unity has faded and that hurts
øneheart is honestly so talented, i love all his songs they make me feel something i’ve never felt before
My dog died in 2017, this playlist reminds me of him of all the moments we lived...we will always be together
Some days I wish I could go back to my childhood. Not to change anything, but to feel a few things twice.
Nothing can hurt worse than nostalgia, and losing the people you love most (especially if they betray your trust), they are the only way I’ll end up crying.
It's nice to hear music like this, it's addictive but gives you enough space to think about something of your own. Thank you for the playlist!
I’m currently sitting in a field. I’m listening to this playlist and I’ve spent the last 45 minutes scrolling through each and every one of these comments and their replies. I look at everyone’s usernames, their profile pictures, what language they typed their sentences in. I don’t translate them. Just look. It both warms and saddens my heart that none of us really know each other. Everybody here is being so kind to each other and it puts me in tears to know that some people here, as I’m reading their words, may be crying, or dealing with something rough, or if it were night and I looked up, maybe I would see them. What makes me happy is that maybe they’re okay. Maybe they have found peace. I don’t know where I’m going with this, but I love you all and I’m so proud of you. If you’re crying right now, I still love you. Crying helps. I don’t care if you’re a woman or a man or don’t identify as binary. You can cry because you’re human. And you deserve so much love and I wish I could give you a hug, just so you know it’s okay and I’m here. Remember that you are a human being, trying to live like everybody else, and it might be really, really hard sometimes. It might not seem like it, but you are amazing and beautiful and authentic and I love you for you, not the way you act for society. Stay strong, and maybe one day we’ll meet in the stars.
Amazing video I sent 20 minutes crying getting all my thoughts of old times together elementary, Pre-Covid, old YouTubers, all times I hugged my family, life in general. I'm now realizing how the worst times for me became nostalgia and helped make me me.
I lost my mom I am hurting deeply
Reading people's stories over here is so painfully comforting
Nostalgia is something which we can't forget. It is hiding beneath our soul.
