Sorry, i've been rather sick and quite busy back at work which has left me little time for much else this week.
Have you ever heard a song and it brings you back to a place, a moment in your life? The song that holds the most significance for me is Angel by Sarah Mclachlan. I could live the rest of my life just fine without ever having to hear that song again. It was played at my Aunt's funeral, and if i happen to be out and it's playing it brings me back to that day and i'd rather not go there. Funny how the mind works.
It happens to me as well for silly reasons. For instance every time i hear Tiny Dancer i think of Almost Famous or when i hear Breathe i think of the bomb episode on Grey's Anatomy. Also, when i was young i sent an ex Jann Arden's Insensitive for a laugh, he didn't find it so funny, i thought it was hilarious albeit immature.
Does this happen to anyone else?
(sorry this is terribly choppy and not at all eloquent i realize this but it's all i have today)

I think everyone has this to some degree or another as it's like a soundtrack to your life, which is kind of cool in a way.
Theme music - that's where it's at.
Of course. Music is the soundtrack of your life....when it is linked to memories, good or bad, the song is the soundtrack for that moment....and will inevitably remind you of that time.
I have a few of those songs too.
Yep, happens to me. I have started to hate some songs because they were playing when I was in a wretched mood.
But sometimes, some songs remind me of sweet, peaceful times too.
Sorry to hear you arent feeling well. Must be missing Africa.
Any examples??
Closing Time by Semisonic reminds me of bowling alleys at 3:00am.
some song by the Tragically Hip, I think it's called Flamenco reminds me of snorting water by candlelight.
I absolutely agree with the Angel thing every time I hear it on the radio I have to change the station and then I start crying...I hate that song now. There will always be those songs that remind you of moments
"Whatever" by Splendor...I think of my anger when my ex and I broke up.
At random I can think of this one sappy song called 'I need you' by Leann Rimes. It reminds me of a very sad breakup a few years ago.
All the time...
"Closer" by NIN reminds me of a high school girlfriend who loved that song (she was a little twisted).
"Take The Veil Cerpin Taxt" by The Mars Volta reminds me of a job I had teaching, though I don't know why.
"Mr. Brightside" by The Killers reminds me of when I was in the hospital last year when I realized I shouldn't take life for granted.
That's just a few examples. I think that, for people who love music, it can represent defining points in their lives.
When I hear the theme song form Superman...I think of Superman...
Crazy...I know. ;)
Steve~
Great examples, except a big big GROAN goes out to Steve you cheeky bast*rd :)
Yeah, that happens to me all the time. I love music and lots of songs have lots of meaning to me in different ways. So, yeah, it can be nice or sad or whatever. Ah, but I still love listening to all the songs, even the painful ones.
