許多曲調優美，旋律動人，歌詞雋永的歌曲，歷經世代的傳唱成為人們的集體記憶。傳遞著某個世代的context，也記錄承載不同世代裡個人的經歷的事件、成長和情緒。當老爸年輕時的流行歌曲，也成了女兒喜歡的老歌時，有人類相同的情懷跨越了時空和事件的限制，流傳著。
縱然許多老歌傳唱著關於年輕人的熱情、愛情，歷經時間的洗練而愈發引人入勝。然而，當老爸再聽到年輕時的歌曲，還是一樣的喜歡、著迷，卻難再有相同的情緒了。畢竟，人生好必歲月釀的酒，同一罈酒，味道已不同。只是老歌依舊，隨人各自表述，其樂無窮。
Rod Stewart的情歌是運動型的，Simon & Gunfunkel是詩人文學型的。完全不同，都是經典，都很好。
Rod Stewart的You're in My Heart這首歌是Rod Stewart寫於1977年，當時交往的女友是瑞典女星Britt Ekland ( wiki 和 2013年報導) ，演過龐德女郎 The Man with the Golden Gun (1973) yourtube。
後來分手(She was with Rod Stewart for eight years but he cheated on her so she cut him loose.)，還因為Rod說是因她的啟發【點我】，才出了當時這些暢銷好聽的情歌，而提起了一場一千二百五十萬(英鎊還是美元？訴訟結果也待查)的訴訟 。
(Stewart wrote this love song when he was dating the Swedish actress Britt Ekland; they were together from 1975-1977. Stewart said, "
It wasn't totally about Britt... it could of been anybody I met in that period - and there were a lot of them." This statement may have been influenced by the $12.5 million lawsuit Ekland filed against Stewart, in which her lawyers pointed out how she inspired some of Stewart's most successful music.)【出處】。
