I've always been amazed at how a song, scent, picture, taste or feeling will bring back an intense memory.
Last night the hubby and I were in JCPenney's doing some window shopping. This song played on the in-store music system, I just stopped. Few songs have a truly emotional effect on me and this is one of them. Mayer captures what I was feeling living in Tallahassee after graduate school - kinda lost and directionless. "Room For Squares" is one of my all-time favorite albums and this is by far my favorite song.
What songs bring back memories (good or bad) for you?
Music has always played a major role in my life. I'll hear certain songs and memories will instantly pop up. It reminds me of yet another song, by Trisha Yearwood, The Song Remembers When.
ReplyDelete1989 - I was diagnosed with cancer. my fight song was "I won't back down". well, I didn't and I'm still here 24 years later.
ReplyDelete2002 - a good friend of mine died; when I hear "wonderful world" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNO72aCnVr0) I think of him.
without music, my life would suck big time.
