Fascinating fascinating looking at like. 40-60s era jazzy croony music and like. How it links to nostalgia and how that links with war and colonialism. Like who writes the song who performs them what are they refering to. But then who hears them who takes them to other countries what does it get used as nostalgia FOR.

FASCINATED BY IT #the sounds of that era too the. like theres actually a real like. what sounds get used to represent maybe 'paradises'#maybe 'exotic' maybe 'tropical' u know 'beachy' sounds and its like. yes. hello. and wheres the nostagia for these kinds of places coming #from. end tag #i mean even vera lynn will meet again is. like songs that are comfort FOR war times also bring into mind of like #this is building a romantic nostalgia FOR wartimes. sorta. santization of a kind maybe.
