For me, at least, "Life in a Northern Town" brings back memories. I mean, it was good , hell , it was GREAT when it first came out, just for the associations it brought me. I was a Yankee kid, living in the South, and had gone thru all the teasing Yankees got, all thru High school to graduation. So, when the song came out in the '70's, it brought back memories of living in mid and eastern PA, and in Buffalo, NY, before my family moved south. NOW, it's even more poinient. I can't hear it without tears coming to my eyes. The thoughts of warm summer afternoons, playing softball, or swimming, or just lazing around in the country on our farm brings back friends I thought I had forgotten, my parents, now gone, family gatherings and cookouts, my dog, and the times, themselves. The stars on warm summer nights, glowing and twinkling overhead as I rode my bike home from a friend's house. Those past, simpler times... Also, it seems to me to be the only song written about that time that is pure nostalgia. Paul Simon's "My Little Town" I recognize as memories of a coalmining town that he remembers wanting to LEAVE, not go back to. And it's the only other song I can think of that speaks to that era. "Life in a Northern Town" tugs at the heartstrings as almost no other piece of modern music I know...
