I have so often been in a store and heard a song playing over the speakers and been brought dead in my tracks from some memory. Sometimes good, sometimes bad -- always very emotional.

I do that too. I associate songs with a certain time in my life or with certain people. I can spend years without listening to a song and then if I unexpectedly hear it in the radio or maybe in someone's car I'm immediately transported to the memory attached to it. More often than not it's a beautiful experience, except when the memory is a bittersweet or painful one.

It is amazing how we can remember tunes and lyrics that we haven't heard years ago. I think a memory pathway is stored in our brain and when we hear it, we activate this pathway again.

I do the same things with songs and albums! There are some artists where I listen to their music and I get vivid flashbacks to when I would listen to them. Or I hear a song and think about something with it, maybe something I ate or something I smelled, or just a general emotion I was experiencing at the time. Some of them make me sad, some of them make me happy, but it's always fun to get that little jog of memory with the song like a spice.

I do as well, songs almost always bring memories for me.

It's a stimulus-response sort of thing sometimes. People are just hardwired to connect events with objects, people, or other events. That's how phobia develops.

Music is such a powerful form of art; it can really transport you to a different time. I have a whole list of songs that as soon as I hear them I immediately experience a memory from the past. It is such a lovely feeling!

I think so. A song, a scent of perfume, an aroma of a meal, I think most of our memories can be connected to at least one of our five senses.

Once I fall in love with a song, I would constantly listen to it on repeat until I get bored with it.
