Nostalgia for a song means a fascinating and not quite normal feeling that we get when we listen to old music as we used to listen to in our youth and now listening to them again reminds us of the sweet memories of the passions and rawness of our youth, without knowing.

I did not listen to many songs as a child or a teenager because listening to music was not common in our religious family. But during college, when I was away from family and with friends, listening to music was the most enjoyable hobby in the world.

The song “Panjereh (Window)” is a good example of those nostalgic songs of the past with a heavy load of memories on its shoulders, from millions of youth of our generation in Iran.

I will never forget that this was a love song for all of us.

I would listen to it over and over again. Maybe it was because I love the rain and we spent a lot of time sitting behind the window ...

Song: Panjereh (Window)

Singer: Siavash Ghomayshi

Lyrics

When the rain hits the glass, near sunset

 All the sorrows of the world are in my heart

In the raindrops, I’ll choke with my tears

Then, I don’t want anything but a window!

I’ll sit behind this window and sing

And I’ll wait for you to arrive in the rain

Expecting your arrival in the rain

Has a different feeling

As if I’m more in love when it rains!

Sometimes  you just come

And you put your head on my shoulders

And then all at once

You take all pains off my chest

But this is just a dream

The “behind the window dream”!

And when I wake up

Grief sits in my throat again
