Close calls, by ferengie
This song and video was created for the 21SongsIn2023 challenge for the Nostalgia Prompt. I had an an idea for this song but I was not sure it would fit the meaning of the word. Then I looked it up, and it does:
"Nostalgia is an intriguing phenomenon. On the one hand, nostalgia can be positive, imbued with a rosy glow of familiarity and belongingness. On the other hand, it can be negative, accompanied by longing, loss, and frustrated desire. Nostalgia often melds both positive and negative experiences."

The Blue Dolphin Saved me one day
In Deep Waters, she rescued me
She pulled me from the Great South Bay
I would have drowned, but now I breathe
The Good Doctor saved me that day
A simple test and he knew
My wife she cried and prayed
That I would not die and turn blue
Close calls that I have had
But I’m not afraid of dying
Heaven or Hell can’t be as bad
As the madness I’m implying
I don’t believe in miracles
Or some mystical state
But I believe that you give me - the will to live
I don’t believe in destiny
Or the guiding light of fate
Yet it gives me the peace I need to elate
And I believe forever
That our love is our theology
We cannot escape, No We cannot escape
The Car Crash almost did me In
It happened in a flash so quickly
Smashed Glass on Bloody Thick Skin
My flesh looked so sickly
My belt got caught on the fence
As I was chasing that perp
A gun he held to my face
But it jammed, he was such a jerk
Close calls that I have had,
But I’m not afraid of dying
Heaven or Hell can’t be as bad
It's my experience I’m implying
