These songs are so classic and it never fades its popularity. The tone of the songs changed but the lyrics are never changed. The good thing is people know how to appreciate these songs and lighten up if hearing them. It flashes back the good memories from the past events of their lives.
Some songs were composed centuries ago and are as popular as ever such as the famous Happy Birthday song and so too a few others. Frankly I do not much appreciate the modern singers. My singers are such as Jim Reeves, Nat King cole and all those singers of yore.
I do agree on that. New songs are lacking depth in its meaning. I prefer to listen to the old songs as what my late father listened to. I can name a few good singers nowadays. But I am an old genre guy. I don't usually go with the trends in music.
I too am an old genre person. I have a huge collection but I only listen to music during christmas time.
I am not a music lover at this point of time. I used to watch movie clips on youtube lately. I think modernization is so strong to resist.
The songs that we listened to long time ago were songs that everyone could listen to and enjoy, and then of course there wasn't the idea of people not wanting to listen to music infront of their elders thinking that it's embarassed. Am an old school person and I cherish my old songs they just make me feel good. This music that is coming up in this times most of it is not even understandable, it makes no sense it's all about sex most of the time. immorality has taken over other things in life. Many musicians are making music usually based on corruption or relationships which sometimes can be annoying to listen to.
