A couple days ago, my mom and I were listening to music just before I was getting ready for bed. My Mom is NOT a big fan of my music but she WILL listen to some U2 songs with me sometimes. We put on a playlist in Apple Music. My Mom tells me that it was the 60s playlist. I was okay with listening to the songs with her and just before my Mom went to turn her phone off, the beginning bars of this song came on and my eyes got really wide!
I never have paid attention to who sings this song but once they started singing the words, I sing along with them! I was immediately taken back to my childhood and this song specifically reminds me of going to the Apple Orchard with my friend Shannon. She has two brothers just my brothers’ ages and I remember us all sitting in the back of their van and singing this song at the top of our lungs! This memory is over 30 years old but it was clear in my mind and warmed my heart and reminded me of simpler times! Retrospectively, those REALLY were the days!!!
