Songs that remind you of past lives

While listening to some music at work I came across this song that reminded me of my past (in this life) as a young man in the early 80's. While I was enjoying those happy memories it gave me it also kind of reminded me of the soul's journey of lifetimes gone by.

I know the song was not originally written for this but somehow at least for me anyway it kind of did. So, I thought I would share this with everyone here. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

While listening oldies music (songs), this first song combine with this picture gave strong feelings of nostalgic, déjà vu, missed something. Many people felt these feelings (elderly, young, teens), you may read in the comments section (YouTube).

This picture was a car advertisement in 1956, https://vintageadvertising.tumblr.com/post/635264850675810304/nash-travel-car-1956 However seeing this advertisement without listening these songs (especially the first song) doesn’t give feelings of nostalgic, déjà vu, missed something.
I am still searching the first song, who was the singer? Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Nate king Cole, Dean Martin, Perry Como? Hope some help.

Regards,

Closest I could find was this version by Dean Martin. Have been listening to that YouTube channel a lot during the pandemic too, it's definitely comforting during difficult times

 
Glenn Miller, the late 30's and early 40's... Since I was a little kid 'til now, that music gives me goosebumps, and trigger memories. Not only music, also art. Saturday Evening Post covers by Norman Rockwell make me feel instantly at home.

That sounds like how I used to constantly get a tune in my head and not know what it was, only to find out a while ago when researching something barely related that it was this song:

Hi, Tinnos:

Your melody has brought to my memory a girl who was a member of this forum - quite a time ago - who affirmed she had been a male and a close friend to Gavrilo Princip in her PL.

A very pathetic story, I was (and I still am) so emotioned by it...

At times I even feel somehow connected to Apis - who was killed in the outskirts of Salonica (Greece) by a secret order of then Serbian King during the WWI.

In my PL, I was born in 1915, so I discard any possibility of having collaborated with Apis in any way in my PL before the last, though I seem to have retained some very strange memories of Salonica...

Wish you all the best.


Regards.

What a fantastic rarity. Thank you for sharing.
 
I don’t really recall any songs that remind me of my past life beside Nearer My God to thee. We of course played classical. I still love classical music of course but that song is the main one.

A song that truly defines the 80's. Thanks for the upload and the memories.
 
Had a happy moment!! Someone updated the song on the Wikipedia entry for molly Malone and it sounds much closer to how I played it when I was younger.

Long story short, I took piano lessons years ago and molly Malone was one of the beginners songs they had you play and I played it with a swing, as in the song at the link below.

The teacher was so frustrated with me because she wanted me to play it in the solemn staccato I guess the book dictated. She insisted I was doing it wrong and maybe I had heard my grandmother play the song that way and no matter what, I couldn't do it the way she wanted.

I played the piano and organ in my last life and it's quite reasonable I knew that song and I *know* I was playing it correctly because it's a sing along, not like the funeral dirge everyone makes it out to be.

Anyway if you're into folk songs, please enjoy.. I was really happy to stumble upon this today.

A lot happened in the 80's. But for me in particular if I had to pick songs, it'd have to be forever young by alphaville and sting's the Russians.

I was hyper aware as a kid and the late 70's and early 80's, at least for the older teenagers, were filled with a sort of sarcastic, existential dread because hey, if they start launching missiles, were all dead anyway.

Maybe it was past life related, but I felt horrified. Like I just got here and we're all going to die?

I first heard this song at school in the 90s and it terrified me. At the time that terror didn't make so sense from a 90s perspective, but my most recent PL grew up in 1950s-60s USA (and lived through most of the Cold War into the 1980s), so for them that fear would have been much more part of their life.
