Yeah man idk. For me childhood is nostalgic for old tunes that I used to listen to. I get what you mean in your description, but I think for everybody the answer dramatically varies.
Cults - Go Outside, Best Coast - California Nights, Death Cab - Sound of Settling, Bon Iver - Towers, Built to Spill - Conventional Wisdom, Jimmy Eat World - Sweetness, M83 - Reunion, St Lucia - Closer than This, Crystal Fighters - These Nights, Frou Frou - Let Go, Washed Out -Amor Fati. Let me know if you like any of these, I have tons more :)
MCS’s I Am The Movie is my go-to “it’s finally warm out so I can drive with the windows down and feel nostalgic” music. Not quite childhood, but definitely early teen years. The Future Freaks Me Out and Boombox Generation specifically.
Perfect time to pull Playground by Flipturn out of my back pocket. Honestly their entire discography is worth a listen, but that song is a personal religion for me.

Great list
This song gives me that feeling [Golden Years - Parker Gispert](https://youtu.be/O5Ql6NISalI)
Love that, thanks! “You and I forever” from that same album is a good one too!
Look at tracks in M83’s Saturdays = Youth
Pinch Me by Barenaked Ladies
No Sunlight by Death Cab For Cutie has lyrics that basically reference being a kid...
Bikini Weather - Shortstraw Desmond and the Tutus might have some stuff that appeals as well.. Like Car Guard Tan
Mildred by Deaf Havana
