Feeling nostalgic

I have been feeling very nostalgic these couple of days. Reminiscing and thinking about my early teen age years, before coming to US, then living in NY Flushing, and not speaking a word of English, but was watching way too much MTV!

Don't Wanna Fall In Love by Jane Child recently popped into my head... I used to think she looked a little scary, but I LOVED LOVED LOVED this song...



You Win Again by Bee Gees was one of those songs I heard the first time and immediately I fell deeply into its spell. I couldn't speak the language but I felt the song wholeheartedly and I remember its melody vividly. I'm so glad to be able to enjoy it today with a fresh perspective... still such an amazing song!



I'll Be Your Shelter by Taylor Dane - This music video used to be on heavy rotation on MTV... I wasn't familiar with her name because she wasn't popular when I was in Taiwan, but in NY I was mesmerized by this song, and her looks, and of course her voice. I remember thinking, "Wow, she's great but I've never heard of this person before!" Hahaha... The good old innocent days!
