Our song to listen to endlessly today is the Paul McCartney produced 1968 English language reinterpretation of the old Russian folk song “Those Were the Days,” sung by Welsh folk singer Mary Hopkin. The song has always felt almost overtly nostalgic to me despite my having no real personal connection to it. Maybe my dad had it on a mixtape or something. I don’t know. But I love it nonetheless. All songs should be that way.
