“That sound take me back to the time so many years ago. I drift back, and back some more.”

This is a Hyperbole because it exaggerates on how a sound is taking him back in time when really that cant happen.
The tone that was given to this was more of a bad memory, so assuming that he is talking about a very dark time for black people, the tone would most likely come out negative.
