* "1948 (Toen was geluk heel gewoon)" - Creator/VanKootenEnDeBie, a nostalgic song about the post-World War II years, sang with the refrain "when luck was very normal".
* "As Time Goes By"  - traditional.
* "Het Dorp" - Wim Sonneveld, in which he looks back with melancholy to the village of his youth, which has disappeared in modern age. His only memory is a tourist card. Also an example of TheCoverChangesTheMeaning, because it was based on ''Ma Montagne'' by Jean Ferrat, also a melancholic song about a village on a mountain, but it also criticizes the typical oafish village mentality. 
* "Heimwee" - by the Dutch band Blof, about homesickness.
* "Hilversum III" - Herman Van Veen, a song about older days, when the pop music radio station "Hilversum III" didn't exist yet.
* "In My Life" - Music/TheBeatles. 
* "It Was A Very Good Year" by Music/FrankSinatra, also an AgeProgressionSong in which he looks back at his life, with fond memories of the "very good years".
* "Mon Enfance" by Music/JacquesBrel, in which he looks back with melancholy and bitterness to his youth. The dramatic moment happens near the end when he looks back how happy and hopeful he was towards the future as an early teenager, until WorldWarTwo broke out and everything changed to what it is today. 
* "Op Een Mooie Pinksterdag" - Leen Jongewaard en André Van Den Heuvel, about holidays with father. 
* "Rosa, Rosa, Rosa" - Music/JacquesBrel, an amusing song about the boringness of school during his youth, but also the joy he felt at times. 
* "These Are The Days Of Our Lives" - Music/{{Queen}}.
* "Those Were The Days" - Mary Hopkin. 
* "We'll Meet Again'' by Vera Lynn. 
* "Wie Kan Me Nog Vertellen?" by Boudewijn De Groot, a song about the early 1900s.

And we should mention "Those Were The Days", the theme song from ''Series/AllInTheFamily'' as well, because it shows how Archie and Edith long for the older, simpler times.
