Hey GrayViners!
Another Sunday, another chance to take a stroll down memory lane together. Every week, you amaze us with your wonderful song suggestions—tunes that carry stories, memories, and a little bit of magic from days gone by.
This week, our winning pick comes from GrayViner @Hazeleyes : “Those Were the Days” by Mary Hopkin! What a timeless choice.

Released in 1968 and produced by none other than Paul McCartney, this song soared to the top of the charts in the UK and the US. Its wistful melody and heartfelt lyrics captured the spirit of an era, reminding listeners of youthful dreams and the bittersweet passage of time. Interestingly, the tune itself is based on a traditional Russian romance song—a little detail that gives it that haunting, nostalgic edge we can’t forget.
Now, it’s your turn again! Drop your favorite classic song in the comments below. The one that gathers the most reactions will be crowned next week’s Sunday Classics winner—and will get a special feature in the newsletter for all GrayViners to enjoy.
