The first line of the fourth verse is a reference to Otis Redding ('Mr. Pitiful' and 'I Can't Turn You Loose' are two of his most famous songs), which would tie in to the idea of music-fueled nostalgia for their youth...does anyone see any other references like that in this song?
There are the lines "there's just something about the moon" and "you move like a dream I had", which could connect to 'Moon Dreams' and 'Darn that Dream' off of Birth of the Cool, but that's kind of tenuous. I don't see anything else as obvious as the Otis Redding thing, but I could be missing something.
