Vid rec
Today I ran across this unexpectedly hard hit to the nostalgia feels: a Person of Interest vid set to Bon Jovi's "It's My Life."
I think it hit me in the way that it did because this was one of those songs that was used for approx. 50 million action-feelsy anime vids in the early 2000s, including a couple I really liked, combined with a show that I watched the first couple seasons of (and really liked at the time) but haven't thought about much at all since probably around the time this vid was made (2014). So the one-two punch of a nostalgia song plus a nostalgia show that I haven't thought about too much ... it was just - fun. I really enjoyed it.
I also appreciate how a decade and a half of non-exposure has made this song go from "That again?!" to "Awwww! Nostalgia!" I kinda want to make a vid of my own to it now, honestly.
(You know how many times I started to type an apology or disclaimer for my own musical taste into this post and stopped myself? Too many times. Yes, I like this song; I'd had a bit too much of it circa 2002 or so, but I like it, and I really like vids set to bouncy pop songs - they're one of my favorite kinds. Don't let anybody tell you that your music is wrong or that you can't like the things you like.)
