My own contribution is The intro from Cheers, though finding that inspired this challenge rather than the other way around.

Cheers first aired in 1982 when I was 3 years old. I remember watching it sitting on the living room floor with my dad many nights. The way the theme starts quiet and then blossoms into a full, broad sound is uplifting. The old photos, drawings and painting force me to think/wonder about bygone days and the rich, warm colors feel so comfortable.

Hey I'll up the ante on this here cun-tess: The winner shall receive a never been worn nor washed, Videosift T-Shirt (XL) from the wayback machine, the one that choggie won when he won the viddy contest of his own design.....
Collectors's item, you say?? A bit of sift-history you say?? I think SO!

My gift back to the community of carpetbaggers and scallywags who sound the depths of their own psyche to cause me undo pain and duress during my trudge here on the ball....xxoxvercas௺xx has to sign off on this though, my offers' legit.

*Only thing is, you have to trust me to mail your item discreetly and maybe divulge your physical locale (personal references available upon request)....Otherwise I could mail it to a third party you trust and they could get it to yas....(for those too paranoid to piss outside).



-May the best Sifter's shit stack slips!

*Don't worry: I've been trusted to mail drugs (outside the country) to other users here with no complaints

Awarding xxovercastxx with one star point for this contribution to VideoSift - declared quality by chingalera.

Dammit ... I haven't been here long enough to be nostalgic ... which means I must be part of the problem [assuming there is one]. I got here as quickly as I could though. =oD

oh wait....this wasn't a contest-contest-I should have read the thing closer...Oh well-I have a T-Shirt for a prize if anyone else wants to start a contest-contest !

See, sifting drunk and high...

Always dug the roaring 20s and 30s-wish I'd been 18 in 1925-Loved the Art Deco period of architecture and the popular music beginning circa 1935

So...I'm confused and I blame the wine so please be patient.

Should the video submitted make us ache for bygone days with the Sift community or just be nostalgic in general??

Pointless to sift it, but my first vehicle when I was 15 that I learned to drive on and went up steep faces I thought I would roll over and go down the hill. Was fun times in that vehicle, you dont appreciate those times until its NOW.

Vroooom.. I think it had 68 horse power, 70ft/pounds of torque and it was a 1.1 litre engine. But holy shit could it go places.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

This one of course.

You can blame me if you want critical_d ... I read the following as a VS community past kind of thing:

"Share a video that makes you ache for bygone days with the community"


Soooo ... I'm confused too @xxovercastxx

May we get a clarification on this please? I need to know if I should pay more dues =oD

@critical_d @PlayhousePals
OP has been disambiguified. I'm talking life-nostalgia, not sift-nostalgia.

Is...is there life outside the Sift?

Takes me back 25 years to a happy time. I'd frontpage this post, but ain't got enough powerpoints

"Wonderful Life" - (Black)

nostalgia?
yeah....i got that.
http://videosift.com/video/saturday-morning-tv-memories-1965-1976

have to be a tad long in the greys to feel the POWAH of saturday morning cartoons.

Takes me back to a time when my life took a HUGE change......(Dunno if it was for better or worse)

"Another Chance" - (Roger Sanchez)

I get all warm and tingly inside reminiscing about the many wonderful concerts I attended in my youth. What a great time to be tuned in [and turned on]! =oD

The following makes me nostalgic for times earlier in my life, and times earlier on the sift:

I wanted to sift this animation a couple of years ago and was pleased to find it had already been here for a long time:

It reminds me of what it is like to go back to a place from my past, where time has changed the surroundings and all that is left are vague landmarks to invoke the happy memories.
