    I always felt there was something deeply haunting about this song. The singing always sounded off, its in a lower key, slightly strained almost. To me it sounded like wailing, as if it was someone drunk and suicidal singing discordantly, trying to relieve some happy memories. This just confirms it to me, its a *deeply* melancholy song, sang as if it's happy. This is phenomenal, thank you.

    Reminds me of the Buckingham Square Mall in Aurora, Colorado. It was torn down in 2007. I was born in 1995, so all my memories of it are of an almost totally empty, dead mall. I used to really enjoy going there with my dad as a kid though, because it was so peaceful, we were usually the only people in the whole mall. I don't remember going into any of the shops, because I think there were only a small handful that were still operating by then. The décor clearly hadn't been updated in decades so it was kind of like stepping back in time. Then in 2007 they tore it down and built this bustling (but incredibly ugly) outdoor strip mall. I don't understand why modern day American shoppers prefer outdoor strip malls over the indoor malls of old. They seem like basically the same thing only the indoor malls protect you from the elements.

    This is funny. Probably nothing more than a still photo of a long-ago shopping mall taken after hours with music and sound effects added afterwards using editing software. Haha; suddenly everyone becomes a philosopher. Typical fabricated Americana .. has it risen to art-form status?
    "Euclid Square Mall was a shopping mall in Euclid, Ohio, United States. It was opened in 1977 as a regional mall with two anchor stores: local chains Higbee's, and May Co. It was demolished from 2017-2018. Wikipedia
