Since I had children, I think back to my own early childhood and music I remember from the early days, I can find on you tube and play for my children. It feels magical.
"The girl from Ipanema ", "Rain drops keep falling on my head", "Puff the Magic Dragon".
When I listen, I get stuck in a moment that expands to forever.

Music is a pretty amazing thing. It can drive memories, emotions, mark history, bring change, or even teach. I love to bring my son to hear live music. One of our favorite things to do.

I teach my grandchildren to sing along with me old (sometimes corny) songs on my visits with them. It's funny because they'll add in hand motions and then send me a video of them performing it, so I can enjoy it when I'm back home far away from them. It's kind of our connection - they sing the songs before bed - and maybe remember me.

I guess I'll need to teach my grandkids "Puff the Magic Dragon" at some point, since I do live in "The Land Of Hana Lei" with the mountains outlining the dragon around Hanalei Bay here on Kauai. Today, however, most of Hanalei is underwater, due to a storm, and there is a bison stuck on a sandbar in "the land of hana lei" today!
I had a coworker who used to like to plant earworms in my head. In the morning, he'd hum softly to himself, then later in the day, he'd catch me humming it. He'd very often use The Girl From Ipanema. I haven't worked there in 15 years, but I sometimes still catch myself humming it!

Grew up on that. Among many other types of music.
And they will likely feel the same way someday about DNCE and Maroon 5.
People generally have happy, carefree childhoods, and the music takes them back to those feelings.
