Music, the Other TARDIS (Mr. Pace)

Greetings, and welcome to Pacebook!  I want to begin our blogging experience by continuing to get to know one another a little bit better.  As you have likely noticed, I am drawing on Dr. Who quite a bit for its connection to literature (the ability of books to transport you through time and space, like a TARDIS, for you Whovians).  However, the same is probably equally true for all art, especially music.  As a musician, I am naturally drawn to the parallels between music and literature, which was actually the focal part of my Master's Thesis (reading the "jazz novel" as a model for more egalitarian communication in a post-national world).  Music also seems to have special ties to memory, though, in a way that transcends language, and a simple few bars from a song can trigger very specific memories.  So, I want you to think of a song that serves as a TARDIS for you and transports you to another time and place.
 
One song (of many) that functions as a TARDIS for me is "One Tin Soldier" by The Original Castle (and more famously performed by Coven).  More accurately, however, it was performed by my dad, and I didn't actually hear the original until years later.  It is a protest song that talks about greed and how it corrupts people and is the root cause behind many (if not all) wars.  More than that, though, the song tells a story which is delivered quite skillfully and with ample amounts of development and irony.  Actually, the song has many parallels to "The Pardoner's Tale" from Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, which we will be looking at later in the year, but of course I didn't know that at the time; I simply enjoyed the melody, the moral, and the complexities of the song.  It is the first "favorite song" I remember having, and the first song I recall attempting to write was a very close imitation of "One Tin Soldier." Hearing it now takes me back to sitting at my father's feet in our old house when I was four or five years old, although I don't think the studio version is as good (the flute part is a little cheesy, really).  While it's not a song I listen to very often, it does evoke many memories when I do, and it has certainly had a profound influence on me, both as a person and as a lover of stories.  If you've never heard it, here is the original by The Original Castle:

Now, I want to hear from you.  What is a song that takes you back to another time and place?  Explain in detail, and include a link to YouTube, so we can all listen to it as well, please.  I look forward to hearing your stories! ​​​
