Oh man - full on Proustian Rush from 'Leaving on a Jet Plane'. I've just checked and it charted in the UK in 1970 - I was 3. It must have seeped into my toddler head somehow. It certainly reminds me of being a child when I hear it now.
I once did a Spotify playlist of songs that reminded me of childhood - but before I was really into music. Music that obviously made an impression and stuck with me - and I can't believe that LoaJP was not on it. Fixing that now... 😉
Thanks for posting and giving me that little nostalgia moment...
