Try to hear ABBA's If It Wasn't For The Nights while walk in a empty, silent and windy street. It will give you the strange feeling that some tragic thing will happen
There’s an episode of a tv show called community where they have a zombie apocalypse in their school and the only music that plays is abba music. Very funny episode and a great show in general
SO. MUCH. FUN!! I worked at a mall in 89-90, when I was 20, at a bank. my stepsister, 18, worked next door at Orange Julius. It was like a huge high school. We knew all the other young people working at the mall, mainly because they cashed their paychecks at my bank. We'd hang out for HOURS after work. We got deep discounts and free food. I had a big crush on the guy at Z. CAVARICCI. My stepsister dated the guy from Bachrach's. And a lot of other guys. I'd buy condoms at Osco for the other teller I worked with, and pregnancy tests for my stepsister, lol The employees there must have thought that I was very busy and didn't know how to use the condoms lol There was always an old woman asking people to take surveys, and we always did those because you'd get free stuff or a few bucks. We spent all our money at the mall. We even went on our days off, LOL

@@megastalkergaming1577 I wouldn't say 'scary', per se, but it was a little unnerving (though not in a particularly 'unwelcome' way). This probably requires a little explanation. See, I had only a few weeks prior returned from the Navy. Eight years (two hitches!) of living in confined spaces with a few hundred other guys and the constant din of machinery, flight ops, and other people going about their day will definitely deny you any 'alone' time. Now, here I was, alone in this huge, dimly-lit store (for the night crew, only about a third of the lights were left on), and just this thin, echo-y music playing on the overhead speakers and the soft shush of the HVAC. No conversations. Nobody barking orders. No catapults or turbines or incessant vibration or some guy snoring three feet away. Just comparative quiet and a little music. In society, it's rather unusual for one person to be this isolated; for me, there was a much more profound contrast, because most people don't live in the kind of proximity one has to deal with in the military. As I said it was surreal. Slightly unnerving, but not unwelcome. And it was remarkable how peaceful that can feel, and how much work you can get done when your're not constantly being interrupted by a thousand other silly things. I hope that makes sense.
@@xaenon I can understand that. Personally I would've loved working alone in that partially lit store, at least for a few hours. No noise or constant badgering from customers, free to pick out anything you want without anyone getting there first. I would actually find that surreal lighting rather comforting! Sometimes isolation in a half-dark space could be just what you need to just feel...free!
BiscuitsCED shut up with your TikTok stuff. Leave this gem of a song OUT of a sentence with TikTok. This song was pretty well known, y’all were just late on it.
Get on a bike and go for a ride Get drunk in the woods with a few friends Go in the hot tub in the snow Save up a few hundred bucks and fly somewhere like new orleans
why does this make me feel like im the only survivng person in a horror movie and im walking around the empty mall covered in blood with knife in hand while this plays over the intercom because the killer put it on
*pov:* you’re a high school teenage girl in the 70s, working at the mall food court. it’s your first real paying job. you just finished your shift, so you’re cleaning up the food court getting ready to close up. this song starts to play on the jukebox, and since no one is around, you dance to it thinking about the boy you like. p.s: who’s watching in 2019?
sunkissed aesthetics. Or once her manager goes to his office to finish up some work, she starts mopping and next thing you know, somebody sneaks up on her and strangles her to death.
this makes me feel like i’m in the only person left on earth and i’m inside a grocery store and realized they had never gotten the chance to turn the radio off and this song is blasting throughout the whole store so i just start dancing around too this song and relive the life i had before the population wiped out and it leads to me breaking down and sobbing alone in the middle of the store.
fun fact: if all humans suddenly disappeared and there was no one to take care of the power plants generating electricity, most of the earths power would go out forever within about 3 weeks
The fact that it's a food court makes it so much cooler. I wasn't around in the 70s but Zellers had a food court that hadn't changed a bit since the 70s
“Hello? Is someone there? We’re closed.” Said every girl who works in shop in a horror movie. Followed by the power going off.... And dark figure slipping behind her....
POV: The year is 1976. You’re wearing your new bell bottoms you just bought and your favorite platforms. The mall is about to close in 5 minutes and you’re waiting on your crush Brad on the football team to meet you in the food court. You start to feel discouraged and sad because you think he stood you up. You pick up your milkshake and toss it in the trash all sad you got pretty for nothing. As you’re about to walk home, you see him enter the food court all dressed up in a hurry. You run up to him and he greets you with a warm hug and you two walk away hand in hand as the song fades the further you walk.
@@rihze mostly everyone now has been exposed to all the media that has been! in adverts , films, ads etc so you could only be 8 and would of heard/seen a whole lot of different media from over lots of decades subconsciously, which gives u a weird nostalgia when heard or seen again lol there also is no longer a generation gap
I can just imagine this part of a horror movie with some kind of serial killer or demonic creature back in the 70s and a group of teens were the main victims. So anyways there is a closed mall and they decide to hide in there to get away from it, but as they venture around the mall, they get picked off one by one until there is one person left. This song starts playing and they are startled at first, then lights start to flicker all around and flashing like a disco night. Then the killer is across the other side of the mall looking straight at the other person. The killer comes and goes with the flicker of the lights and beat of the music. They try to run away into different stores but doors shut and glass breaks around them. Soon the teen finds the exit door and runs towards it seeing that it's slightly open. They run as fast as the can while the lights are still flickering and the music is about over. They make to the door but the song ends and the door slams shut, causing glass to shatter. The lights stop flickering and go off. They come back on in a quick flash and the killer is right behind them and slits their throat. THE END wtf did I write this? EDIT: (Oml thanks so much for the likes!!! I'm ligit only 14 and my dumb brain came up with this!)
This is so beautiful just looking at the pic in the video shows me a beautiful time that I never got to live... man what it would be like to be around in the 70s man... lol bell bottoms, hippies, peace signs, abba, mustangs, vans, long hair, FAR OUT MAN!
pov: The cold pink and white checkered floor sent chills up your spine as you laid there; the starlight shining through the large windows of the mall. Your neon clothes glowed against the purple led lights from the store displays, your eyes glossed over. The clouds from the skylight drifted slowly through the calm Midnight sky. Your favorite song turned on the intercom, as you weakly hummed along. "Dancing queen..." you wheezed, taking you final breaths as you looked at the knife the protruded through your midriff, the murder dancing his way out of the abandoned mall.
@@teddysaurus yeah, or like when they are in the mall and there's the mind flayer. Imagine you're in an empty mall at night with a beast chasing you and this song just starts playing in loop
this is like a fragment of a memory, tucked away in your head that only has bits and pieces. The squeak of your shoes on the floor, the texture of the fake wood, lingering feelings and a distant song. No human presence. A lonely place, a forgotten place. For a short while listening to this we can get some glimpses of these lost memories.
While people see this as something scary, im just imagining the people who sat there in 1979. The way they must of been dressed, what they must of been thinking and where they are now in the present of 2019 while ABBA is playing lol.
Why is this more sad that 99% of the sad songs I listen to POV: You’re a teenager living in 2019 and you start to gain back memories of your past life in the 1970’s. You remember the family, friends, lover you had before you died. Now you think about it and you realize they probably will not recognize you and you won’t be able to connect with them again. Then as time passes, your past lover gets older and older and you watch as they age without you and you can’t do anything about it. Now youre asking yourself “Why did I kill myself?”
Well! That’s the year DANCING QUEEN by ABBA came out in, and the world was not same ever since! How can you not ? Like this song!!!! It just puts you in a good mood.
this sends chills down my spine. like, im remembering things that never happened to me. i feel like a teenage girl in the 70's. it makes me kinda sad. like someone is trying to kill me or i am trying to kill someone.
To be honest. I believe this sadness generates due to the feeling of wanting to go back. Not back to this specific time, but old music and old settings do that. It makes you want to turn back the clock, to times that were better. Not exactly this time, but a time of happiness that you either had stolen from you or you lost in a swirl of either bad events or sadness. You wanna go back, and just enjoy a simple bliss that you either barely remember feeling or the pain of losing it hurts too much.
I remember dated 70s decor in a lot of buildings when I was a kid in the early 90s Lots of browns, whites and wood panelling Also more plant and vegetation
I'm sad and happy at the same time bc my mom used to play this song and all abba's songs back when I was little. I was born in 2001 and I grew up with old songs and I still listen to them until now. this song brings back memories that I hope I could cherish again
He walks through the empty mall, looking around and remembering the time he’s spent with those who are now long gone. It’s hard not to cry, but it happens. He slides down into the tight crevice of the corner, between the two restaurant stands where he once shared his first date, his first kiss. Hugging his knees he buries a heavy head into his arms, like he did as a child. He felt lost again, but this time his mother would never find him. Everyone’s gone, it’s hard to believe.. he tells himself as tears flow down his redden face, “This is what it feels to be the last person on Earth.”
Seems like the start to what might be a really creepy horror movie , you can just imagine the sound fading away and the camera panning around to reveal ...
I can just imagine where you work at this mall in one small restaurant. Your day is over and almost everyone is gone and the only people left in the mall are you and some other employees. You walk into a bathroom and take out your clothing for the disco you are going to. You go out in your gorgeous clothes, you walk out and see your friends waiting for you. You all are having a good time and hear this song playing. But then it's almost 3 am and you are tired, but it’s the weekend, so you can rest all day... (Just a quick lil' story, which got stuck in my head ^^)
this song will forever remind me of when my teacher left the classroom to my best friend, me and someone that i'm not friends with anymore and we played this song out loud and i started dancing while they were singing, i felt like a dancing queen that day
POV: You are a mall janitor on their first day. It is 8:39 p.m. and there is nobody in the mall except for you and your coworkers. You are cleaning the floors, emptying the deep fryer, and basically normal janitor things. Then this song comes on and startles you and your coworkers. You just continue your job, and the song shuts off. You still keep working. But a voice comes on the intercom. You don’t recognize the voice as your boss’s, and it slightly scares you. The voice on the intercom says, “welcome to Raiser malls, my job right now is to evacuate the mall, we are having a zombie invasion. Please do not panic, for the employees will evacuate the area and mall. Thank you for your cooperation.” You and your coworkers realize there is no one but you in the mall. You have to get yourself out along with some food and waters. You find the closest door without an alarm. You get out, and your coworkers and you are ok. Then you find many car wrecks and fires along the road and street. You try to find a human who hasn’t been infected, and find some people who own a war/disaster bunker. You all get inside and lock the door. The people who own the bunker are scared, and so are you. You stay there for a couple hours and make a plan. The owners go to sleep. The police show up the next morning. The police are making sure you and your friends are ok. you and the owners of the bunker, the police, and the coworkers exit the bunker and find a few people who have been injured. Then you get those people and help them. Everyone is ok, except a person got infected, and taken down. The infected got cured a few days later, and the story ends here.
this makes me feel like im a teenager in the 70s and just finished roller skating and went to the food court late at night just before closing and me and my friends are dancing around. idk my past life was lit
Why, why, why was I not born in the 70's-80's I feel like I belong in that generation, I hate all these new trends and I would give anything to live for at least a day in the 70's-80's it just seems like a great time period especially to grow up in Thank you for coming to my ted talk
POV: you're walking in your childhood mall that you used to go to that's now abandoned and hearing dancing queen in intercom and dancing to song in the middle of the entire mall.

POV: All your life you have never been the same as anyone else. You know this because unlike others, you can look into people’s past memories by listening to songs they’ve heard. Recently, your grandma passed away and you want to look into her teen years. You find her favorite song and a photo of her and start listening. The world around you gets hazy and you start to feel very dizzy. After a minute of dizziness, you see your grandma in her teenage years hanging out with her friends, she looks so happy and carefree, singing this song with her friends and drinking a milkshake. As the song comes to an end, you start to realize you don’t want to leave, “Grandma!” you scream and shout, you know she can’t hear you but you don’t want to let her go. Everything turns to black and starts to feel fuzzy and strange. You’re back in your room with tears in your eyes. From experience, you know that you can go into one person’s memories only once. You will never see your grandma again.
I went inside an abandon media play if any of you remember that store it was the 90s store that was long before Best Buy and In my opinion was better then Best Buy and circuit city, but I live in Michigan and the one by me is still there the building and all, and they never closed the doors and they closed it in 2006, and when I went in it last year just me because I haven’t been in it since literally 1999, omg the nostalgia... they still had these Sony tube TVs like 5 of them in a circle all hanging from the ceiling right when you walk in because they use to play like VHS movie trailers on the TVs as you walk in and episodes of friends, and 1990s music videos, and they still had the big signs on the back of the walls with the big lettering that told you what section you were in like movies, or video games, or books, or anime, and all the shelves were still up and the ceiling was still the light gray 1990s tile with those 1990s department store lights that hung down, and the floor was that 1990s office type of tile as well, it brought back so many memories for me I couldn’t believe it, and they legit still had the lights on and ace of base I saw the sign was playing still over the stores speaker, then after that it played Hanson’s mmmm bop no joke, idk how they forgot to close the doors and keep them locked when they closed the store for good, and I even found hidden under all this dusts underneath the shelves an original media play ad from 1998 that had Nintendo 64 systems for sale and PS1 systems for sale to I was floored that I found that, I felt like I was back in time in 1998 when I use to go there all the time in the summer with my friends
I miss malls. We used to have one in the town where I live until about 20 years ago when they shut it down. I have so many memories of that place. Some might wonder what's so great about a mall, but you had to be there. Growing up I'd go out to eat with my grandparents every Friday evening and then after we'd go to the mall where I was guaranteed to get any toy of my choosing. There's just something nostalgic about the whole experience.
Ah 1976, I remember being 14 years old. Going to the local skating rink and meeting my crush Tracy, she was such a cute girl. We danced that night to Dancing Queen and afterwards we went to the local diner where we got chocolate milkshakes and talked about life. She took me to her house and I lost my virginity to her, such good times. Oh yeah I forgot to mention I just made that up on the spot
POV: _Finally, closing time._ You thought, exhausted from your shift. After helping the last customer, you decide it would be nice to clean the tables of your section of the court. Despite your drowsiness, you decide to help out anyway. You pick up a rag and begin to scrub the nearby tables. _[Video begins.]_ After a few minutes of washing tables, the mall speaker emitted a bit of static, making you flinch. Music began playing, which freaked you out a bit. Some of this feeling went away as you recognized the song. _Dancing Queen_ by ABBA. Your grip on the rag loosened, leaving it on the table you were currently cleaning. You stand up straight, listening to the song. The freaky feeling comes back as you glance around you, finding no one in sight. You smile, enjoying the song playing over the speaker. You decide to make the most of it. You waltz out into the open part of the food court and begin to dance. _You are the dancing queen after all._
pov: you’re stoned out of your mind walking down the candy isle at a walmart headed towards the video game section so you can play the switch demo at 2:46 a.m.
Your 15. Woke up with no one home, you thought nothing of it as it was a weekday and your parents have work (your on summer break). You decide to head to the mall and meet up with friends. On your way down the roads seem eerily empty and quiet, again you just brush it off as you being dramatic. You get in the mall and then realize there is something going on. You reach for your phone to call your mom, theres no reception. You turn for the door and its locked. You’re panicking now your knees are week and palms are sweaty, you frantically call for someone to help, That was a mistake. You see a silhouette in a dark corner, he rushes towards you. You have nowhere to go, you stand in horror. He stops just infront of your face, he slowly pulls off the mask. Just as your about to make out his face you wake up, drenched in sweat you let out a scream. Your mom rushes in and you feel relieved.
Imagine:... The three main characters all around the ages of 16 or so just survived an explosion that the unknown villain (for now) caused. They landed in an abandoned shopping mall. The leader of the group coughs and sits up brushing dust off of herself. She looks over and sees her love interest doing the same. She then looks around for her best friend that got tagged along in the mission. Looking over to her left she sees the worst thing imaginable. Her friend is laying there on the ground stiff. Throwing rubble to her side she runs over to her aid. After whispering no several times she cradles her friends head and hugs her tightly knowing that she has indeed died. Then the love interest comes over and hugs the main girl who is now sobbing. All if quiet while this song playing over the stores intercoms while a small sob can also be audible. The end
Pov:Your the last human on earth walking around while listening to this on your phone without airpods or whatever in.Your humming along to it before you wake up with doctors surrounding you.
POV You're 8, you live in a smallish town, without a big mall, so you and you're family took a day trip to the neighboring town/city, about double the size of where you live, because there is a larger mall. Your family arrives there by the afternoon, you walk around, notice the mall hasn't been updated since the turn of the century. Songs are playing in the intercom, you and your family go to the food court, then continue to shop. It is 8PM, already dark, the mall closes in 30mins, you walk by the last shop, getting ready to close, you're tired, but content. This song comes over the intercom:
This give me a nostalgia feeling about something that never happened
La Hamburguesa Caricaturesca never said it better my friend

True, so true.

@@xaenon was it scary or something?
@@megastalkergaming1577
I wouldn't say 'scary', per se, but it was a little unnerving (though not in a particularly 'unwelcome' way). This probably requires a little explanation.
See, I had only a few weeks prior returned from the Navy. Eight years (two hitches!) of living in confined spaces with a few hundred other guys and the constant din of machinery, flight ops, and other people going about their day will definitely deny you any 'alone' time. Now, here I was, alone in this huge, dimly-lit store (for the night crew, only about a third of the lights were left on), and just this thin, echo-y music playing on the overhead speakers and the soft shush of the HVAC. No conversations. Nobody barking orders. No catapults or turbines or incessant vibration or some guy snoring three feet away. Just comparative quiet and a little music.
In society, it's rather unusual for one person to be this isolated; for me, there was a much more profound contrast, because most people don't live in the kind of proximity one has to deal with in the military.
As I said it was surreal. Slightly unnerving, but not unwelcome.

fun fact: if all humans suddenly disappeared and there was no one to take care of the power plants generating electricity, most of the earths power would go out forever within about 3 weeks
The fact that it's a food court makes it so much cooler. I wasn't around in the 70s but Zellers had a food court that hadn't changed a bit since the 70s
Zellers left Canada.
Zellers also happened to be one of my favorite childhood stores.
Fuck you for making me sad.
Thing is Food Courts were not popular in the seventies. Hmmmm...
Oh zellers, that takes me back!
@@m.e.d.7997 tell that to the food stores profits
Food courts just haven't changed that much over time lol.
“Hello? Is someone there? We’re closed.” Said every girl who works in shop in a horror movie.
Followed by the power going off....
And dark figure slipping behind her....
Every time.
Turns out that 'little girl' was Harley pre-suicide squad and the dark figure was batman.
"Would you like fries with your dose of past-life nostalgia?"
POV: The year is 1976. You’re wearing your new bell bottoms you just bought and your favorite platforms. The mall is about to close in 5 minutes and you’re waiting on your crush Brad on the football team to meet you in the food court. You start to feel discouraged and sad because you think he stood you up. You pick up your milkshake and toss it in the trash all sad you got pretty for nothing. As you’re about to walk home, you see him enter the food court all dressed up in a hurry. You run up to him and he greets you with a warm hug and you two walk away hand in hand as the song fades the further you walk.
Plottwist: It's your mom telling this story
This makes me feel so weird why am i literally crying
Because everyone is dead
You weren't the only one crying
Why does this give me this sense of vibe of something I’ve never experience
Because your brain has been exposed to nearly 100 years worth of media
@@harrymonk6 lmao what?
@@rihze mostly everyone now has been exposed to all the media that has been! in adverts , films, ads etc so you could only be 8 and would of heard/seen a whole lot of different media from over lots of decades subconsciously, which gives u a weird nostalgia when heard or seen again lol there also is no longer a generation gap
@@harrymonk6 oh, that's cool to think about.
@@rihze BRUH
I can just imagine this part of a horror movie with some kind of serial killer or demonic creature back in the 70s and a group of teens were the main victims. So anyways there is a closed mall and they decide to hide in there to get away from it, but as they venture around the mall, they get picked off one by one until there is one person left. This song starts playing and they are startled at first, then lights start to flicker all around and flashing like a disco night. Then the killer is across the other side of the mall looking straight at the other person. The killer comes and goes with the flicker of the lights and beat of the music. They try to run away into different stores but doors shut and glass breaks around them. Soon the teen finds the exit door and runs towards it seeing that it's slightly open. They run as fast as the can while the lights are still flickering and the music is about over. They make to the door but the song ends and the door slams shut, causing glass to shatter. The lights stop flickering and go off. They come back on in a quick flash and the killer is right behind them and slits their throat. THE END wtf did I write this?
EDIT: (Oml thanks so much for the likes!!! I'm ligit only 14 and my dumb brain came up with this!)
That should be a movie
U too just need to right a book or a kinda Film
YeetSkeet 61 ok but why was i thinking the same thing!!?
Stranger Things
Sounded like stranger things at first and then it just got dark 😂
This is the song they made us remember from our past life. That’s y it’s so nostalgic to all of us
This is so beautiful just looking at the pic in the video shows me a beautiful time that I never got to live... man what it would be like to be around in the 70s man... lol bell bottoms, hippies, peace signs, abba, mustangs, vans, long hair, FAR OUT MAN!
Oz zO you seem what’s the word? Sensitive
pov:
The cold pink and white checkered floor sent chills up your spine as you laid there; the starlight shining through the large windows of the mall. Your neon clothes glowed against the purple led lights from the store displays, your eyes glossed over. The clouds from the skylight drifted slowly through the calm Midnight sky. Your favorite song turned on the intercom, as you weakly hummed along.
"Dancing queen..." you wheezed, taking you final breaths as you looked at the knife the protruded through your midriff, the murder dancing his way out of the abandoned mall.
This is actually beautifully written! Hauntingly Beautiful I guess. You’re such a good writer 😭❤️
Now I expect this in Stranger Things season 3 what with this whole new mall thing in the new season.
R.I.P. Your hopes and dreams. May they forever rest in peace.
I hoped for them to do a scene where this was playing whilst they were hiding from the *thing* or whilst they were fighting it
@@teddysaurus yeah, or like when they are in the mall and there's the mind flayer. Imagine you're in an empty mall at night with a beast chasing you and this song just starts playing in loop
We're not in Hawkins anymore
*bElL cHimEs*
this is like a fragment of a memory, tucked away in your head that only has bits and pieces. The squeak of your shoes on the floor, the texture of the fake wood, lingering feelings and a distant song. No human presence. A lonely place, a forgotten place. For a short while listening to this we can get some glimpses of these lost memories.
So so so so well put 😭
Pov: you got lost in the mall and then the mall closed with creepy manaquins in every store..
The Twilight Zone has a great episode on this
There is never a bad time to listen to ABBA.
While people see this as something scary, im just imagining the people who sat there in 1979. The way they must of been dressed, what they must of been thinking and where they are now in the present of 2019 while ABBA is playing lol.
I was one of those people... damn that was a long time ago!
@Flashy Paws snorting coke worked out well for you I see.
Flashy Paws Ok boomer
Good thought Chilled Llama
For me the most haunting is when the WTC was ready to collapse and there was the Bee Gees' song How deep is your love played in the lobby
Ahh the seventies
omg ur pfp taste
@@nash57 ik it's fine
Why is this more sad that 99% of the sad songs I listen to
POV:
You’re a teenager living in 2019 and you start to gain back memories of your past life in the 1970’s. You remember the family, friends, lover you had before you died. Now you think about it and you realize they probably will not recognize you and you won’t be able to connect with them again. Then as time passes, your past lover gets older and older and you watch as they age without you and you can’t do anything about it. Now youre asking yourself “Why did I kill myself?”
💔
I’m 13 and I have dreams of me being a soldier looking at a picture of a women, while crying before bleeding to death and this feels mad familiar
@@sp1cynotjevil *cringe*
@@rookeva8688 Agreed
Stop it’s 3am and I’m tooooo fucking high to be thinking about this
i’m legit crying so hard, i miss the days where you can shop and have a good little snack at the food court and good music would play
I’m listening to this while I skip lunch in the restroom because I have social anxiety
Brianna please join an organization in your school, sooo much easier to make friends that way
I remember my teen years, I hope things get better for you
Aww hun. I so relate to this. School sucks, but thankfully it won't last forever. I know you can make it 😊
Good one ya boy
OH MY GOD SAME THO
I love this song. It holds a special place in my heart, thanks to a past memory. One of my comfort songs.
Same
THIS IS SO PERFECT I THINK IM OBSESSED WITH THIS VIDEO
This was very popular during the '70s Disco Era. My mom remembers every single song from ABBA
If you sit there with your eyes closed it feels like you’re there and someone’s gonna come up and tap you
Griffin Lee true
Omg that’s so scary how true it is
I wonder if he would be a mafia member.
Ahhh takes me back to that summer in 1976
I didn’t even exist in the 70s
Well! That’s the year DANCING QUEEN by ABBA came out in, and the world was not same ever since! How can you not ? Like this song!!!! It just puts you in a good mood.
1972-1979 and 1997-2010 were just the greatest year ever
@@SensatokikoI preferred the 70s, 90s & 2007 - 2013. 👍🏻
I love how the setting looks so 70s too
this sends chills down my spine. like, im remembering things that never happened to me. i feel like a teenage girl in the 70's. it makes me kinda sad. like someone is trying to kill me or i am trying to kill someone.
To be honest. I believe this sadness generates due to the feeling of wanting to go back. Not back to this specific time, but old music and old settings do that. It makes you want to turn back the clock, to times that were better.
Not exactly this time, but a time of happiness that you either had stolen from you or you lost in a swirl of either bad events or sadness. You wanna go back, and just enjoy a simple bliss that you either barely remember feeling or the pain of losing it hurts too much.
This reminds me of the good old days in the 70's at my grandparents house in summer.
But I was born in 2004
ok but waking up to this hits differently
This low key makes good background music for gaming
I love ur icon
Everyone in the comments: sad and depression
Me: I love this song. What a great day
my grans favourite song. this came up on my recommended today. Miss you gran, it's been nearly a year without you :(
This is like the end of the world
I remember dated 70s decor in a lot of buildings when I was a kid in the early 90s
Lots of browns, whites and wood panelling
Also more plant and vegetation
I'm sad and happy at the same time bc my mom used to play this song and all abba's songs back when I was little. I was born in 2001 and I grew up with old songs and I still listen to them until now. this song brings back memories that I hope I could cherish again
I was born in 2006 and in my childhood my family always listened to old songs, still as a 16 year old I listen to them
That song is pure magic. From the first note to the last. A classic. Timeless.
That feeling when you realize that young and sweet Dancing Queen...
Is now 65.
One of two feelings: nostalgia for a time I wasn’t alive or an overwhelming feeling of something like an apocalypse or on a murder spree with this on.
Cultural conditioning
Gives new meaning to the word potato.
Thank you
I actually lived this before when i used to travel with my dad and we'd stop at an emtpy restaurant that would always play abba music, ah the memories
He walks through the empty mall, looking around and remembering the time he’s spent with those who are now long gone. It’s hard not to cry, but it happens. He slides down into the tight crevice of the corner, between the two restaurant stands where he once shared his first date, his first kiss.
Hugging his knees he buries a heavy head into his arms, like he did as a child. He felt lost again, but this time his mother would never find him.
Everyone’s gone, it’s hard to believe.. he tells himself as tears flow down his redden face,
“This is what it feels to be the last person on Earth.”
Seems like the start to what might be a really creepy horror movie , you can just imagine the sound fading away and the camera panning around to reveal ...
I can just imagine where you work at this mall in one small restaurant. Your day is over and almost everyone is gone and the only people left in the mall are you and some other employees.
You walk into a bathroom and take out your clothing for the disco you are going to. You go out in your gorgeous clothes, you walk out and see your friends waiting for you. You all are having a good time and hear this song playing.
But then it's almost 3 am and you are tired, but it’s the weekend, so you can rest all day...
(Just a quick lil' story, which got stuck in my head ^^)
this song will forever remind me of when my teacher left the classroom to my best friend, me and someone that i'm not friends with anymore and we played this song out loud and i started dancing while they were singing, i felt like a dancing queen that day
POV:
You are a mall janitor on their first day. It is 8:39 p.m. and there is nobody in the mall except for you and your coworkers. You are cleaning the floors, emptying the deep fryer, and basically normal janitor things. Then this song comes on and startles you and your coworkers. You just continue your job, and the song shuts off. You still keep working. But a voice comes on the intercom. You don’t recognize the voice as your boss’s, and it slightly scares you. The voice on the intercom says, “welcome to Raiser malls, my job right now is to evacuate the mall, we are having a zombie invasion. Please do not panic, for the employees will evacuate the area and mall. Thank you for your cooperation.” You and your coworkers realize there is no one but you in the mall. You have to get yourself out along with some food and waters. You find the closest door without an alarm. You get out, and your coworkers and you are ok. Then you find many car wrecks and fires along the road and street. You try to find a human who hasn’t been infected, and find some people who own a war/disaster bunker. You all get inside and lock the door. The people who own the bunker are scared, and so are you. You stay there for a couple hours and make a plan. The owners go to sleep. The police show up the next morning. The police are making sure you and your friends are ok. you and the owners of the bunker, the police, and the coworkers exit the bunker and find a few people who have been injured. Then you get those people and help them. Everyone is ok, except a person got infected, and taken down. The infected got cured a few days later, and the story ends here.
This feeling of nostalgia that one hasn’t actually experienced that everyone is describing- “Anemoia”
this makes me feel like im a teenager in the 70s and just finished roller skating and went to the food court late at night just before closing and me and my friends are dancing around. idk my past life was lit
Why, why, why was I not born in the 70's-80's
I feel like I belong in that generation, I hate all these new trends and I would give anything to live for at least a day in the 70's-80's it just seems like a great time period especially to grow up in
Thank you for coming to my ted talk
POV: you're walking in your childhood mall that you used to go to that's now abandoned and hearing dancing queen in intercom and dancing to song in the middle of the entire mall.
This is giving me Stranger Things vibessss
Welcome to Star Court Mall [currently demolished sadly] :(

[💘]
POV: All your life you have never been the same as anyone else. You know this because unlike others, you can look into people’s past memories by listening to songs they’ve heard. Recently, your grandma passed away and you want to look into her teen years. You find her favorite song and a photo of her and start listening. The world around you gets hazy and you start to feel very dizzy. After a minute of dizziness, you see your grandma in her teenage years hanging out with her friends, she looks so happy and carefree, singing this song with her friends and drinking a milkshake. As the song comes to an end, you start to realize you don’t want to leave, “Grandma!” you scream and shout, you know she can’t hear you but you don’t want to let her go. Everything turns to black and starts to feel fuzzy and strange. You’re back in your room with tears in your eyes. From experience, you know that you can go into one person’s memories only once. You will never see your grandma again.
I need Frankie Valli's "Grease" but its played in an empty Italian pizzeria
I went inside an abandon media play if any of you remember that store it was the 90s store that was long before Best Buy and In my opinion was better then Best Buy and circuit city, but I live in Michigan and the one by me is still there the building and all, and they never closed the doors and they closed it in 2006, and when I went in it last year just me because I haven’t been in it since literally 1999, omg the nostalgia... they still had these Sony tube TVs like 5 of them in a circle all hanging from the ceiling right when you walk in because they use to play like VHS movie trailers on the TVs as you walk in and episodes of friends, and 1990s music videos, and they still had the big signs on the back of the walls with the big lettering that told you what section you were in like movies, or video games, or books, or anime, and all the shelves were still up and the ceiling was still the light gray 1990s tile with those 1990s department store lights that hung down, and the floor was that 1990s office type of tile as well, it brought back so many memories for me I couldn’t believe it, and they legit still had the lights on and ace of base I saw the sign was playing still over the stores speaker, then after that it played Hanson’s mmmm bop no joke, idk how they forgot to close the doors and keep them locked when they closed the store for good, and I even found hidden under all this dusts underneath the shelves an original media play ad from 1998 that had Nintendo 64 systems for sale and PS1 systems for sale to I was floored that I found that, I felt like I was back in time in 1998 when I use to go there all the time in the summer with my friends
What was the name of the store?
Why does this give me nostalgic feelings
This is actually scary to me and I don’t know why
same it sounds so creepy :(
I remember getting lost in a food court as a kid. Scary shit
I think I had a past life from this time because I seem to remember things I didn't do..
Thats called "dropping acid"
I miss malls. We used to have one in the town where I live until about 20 years ago when they shut it down. I have so many memories of that place. Some might wonder what's so great about a mall, but you had to be there. Growing up I'd go out to eat with my grandparents every Friday evening and then after we'd go to the mall where I was guaranteed to get any toy of my choosing. There's just something nostalgic about the whole experience.
A work of art better than any you'll see at a museum. THIS is why I love TH-cam. And yes, I was alive in 1976.
I'm 10 and I feel nostalgic about something non existent, what is happening to me.
Past life?
POV:
*Your walking through an abandoned mall that was popular during the 70's but it was shut down in 1981 but the music is still playing.*
Man, I hope that space movie coming out next year is good. I can't wait to see it in the Cineplex by the Ice Cream shop.
Ah 1976, I remember being 14 years old. Going to the local skating rink and meeting my crush Tracy, she was such a cute girl. We danced that night to Dancing Queen and afterwards we went to the local diner where we got chocolate milkshakes and talked about life. She took me to her house and I lost my virginity to her, such good times. Oh yeah I forgot to mention I just made that up on the spot
POV:
_Finally, closing time._ You thought, exhausted from your shift. After helping the last customer, you decide it would be nice to clean the tables of your section of the court. Despite your drowsiness, you decide to help out anyway. You pick up a rag and begin to scrub the nearby tables. _[Video begins.]_ After a few minutes of washing tables, the mall speaker emitted a bit of static, making you flinch. Music began playing, which freaked you out a bit. Some of this feeling went away as you recognized the song. _Dancing Queen_ by ABBA. Your grip on the rag loosened, leaving it on the table you were currently cleaning. You stand up straight, listening to the song. The freaky feeling comes back as you glance around you, finding no one in sight. You smile, enjoying the song playing over the speaker. You decide to make the most of it. You waltz out into the open part of the food court and begin to dance.
_You are the dancing queen after all._
pov: you’re stoned out of your mind walking down the candy isle at a walmart headed towards the video game section so you can play the switch demo at 2:46 a.m.
2:46
Your 15. Woke up with no one home, you thought nothing of it as it was a weekday and your parents have work (your on summer break). You decide to head to the mall and meet up with friends. On your way down the roads seem eerily empty and quiet, again you just brush it off as you being dramatic. You get in the mall and then realize there is something going on. You reach for your phone to call your mom, theres no reception. You turn for the door and its locked. You’re panicking now your knees are week and palms are sweaty, you frantically call for someone to help, That was a mistake. You see a silhouette in a dark corner, he rushes towards you. You have nowhere to go, you stand in horror. He stops just infront of your face, he slowly pulls off the mask. Just as your about to make out his face you wake up, drenched in sweat you let out a scream. Your mom rushes in and you feel relieved.
This just gave me a feeling about something that never even happened
Imagine:...
The three main characters all around the ages of 16 or so just survived an explosion that the unknown villain (for now) caused. They landed in an abandoned shopping mall. The leader of the group coughs and sits up brushing dust off of herself. She looks over and sees her love interest doing the same. She then looks around for her best friend that got tagged along in the mission. Looking over to her left she sees the worst thing imaginable. Her friend is laying there on the ground stiff. Throwing rubble to her side she runs over to her aid. After whispering no several times she cradles her friends head and hugs her tightly knowing that she has indeed died. Then the love interest comes over and hugs the main girl who is now sobbing. All if quiet while this song playing over the stores intercoms while a small sob can also be audible. The end
Oh shit
make a movie or show or something right now or i will scream
Imagine this song still playing in that mall after 50 years on repeat.
id never get tired of it
Pov:Your the last human on earth walking around while listening to this on your phone without airpods or whatever in.Your humming along to it before you wake up with doctors surrounding you.
If you close your eyes and listen to this it’s like hearing it in coma
Does this song make anyone think about the people hearing it in that year?
Bro you know what this sounds like?
Your playing dead rising 1 killing the zombies in the mall. You hear that 1 song in the background.
This song makes me cry from too nostalgia
POV
You're 8, you live in a smallish town, without a big mall, so you and you're family took a day trip to the neighboring town/city, about double the size of where you live, because there is a larger mall. Your family arrives there by the afternoon, you walk around, notice the mall hasn't been updated since the turn of the century. Songs are playing in the intercom, you and your family go to the food court, then continue to shop. It is 8PM, already dark, the mall closes in 30mins, you walk by the last shop, getting ready to close, you're tired, but content. This song comes over the intercom:
