Associating Music With Specific Times
Nice thoughts 🙂
My favorite is when music reminds me of a time of season. You can almost imagine the temp and smell the air if you focus enough.

I find that my memories are closely linked with the music I'm listening to at any given time.
Whenever I think back to specific past events, general periods of my life, or even just an insignificant fleeting moment... More times than not, I have a song, artist, or album to associate with it.
A lot of the time, this isn't a good thing or a bad thing. Just interesting to recognize that the brain links memories with music like that.
It could be bad though.
Anyone ever get a great song or album ruined due to a mental connection with a bad period of time?
On the flip, it's really great when a song reminds you of an excellent time... even if you haven't heard the song in years, you still smile the second your ears pick up the sound.
