I really don't know what it is about this song, but it strikes a chord with me. Even though it's disco, it's a really good song. It's upbeat. It harkens back to a better time. It kinda makes you wish you shared a moment like the one in the song with someone, or it bring those memories back. Very few songs can do that for so many people.

"Golden dreams were shiny days" indeed.
