I think it's cool how our brain identifies memories with music
I was listening to a song last night that instantly brought back a memory I had like 6 or 7 years ago with this girl I met that I completely forgot about. I haven't thought of her in the longest time(5+ years), but I listened to an old song that I first heard around the time I met her and within seconds the memory came to me.
I always thought it was cool how your brain associates memories with songs. You could have a memory buried so deep into your brain and one day you could be listening to an old song and bam that memory comes right back to you. Something in the song triggers that memory that nothing else could make you remember.
Does this kind of thing happen to anyone else sometimes?
Jam it back in, in the dark.
