There have been songs that I didn't even like at first, that I eventually liked just BECAUSE of a memory that went along with it.Amanda - Voyage of the MeeMeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08820601784610439713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-67329132951829268182015-01-12T01:45:51.830-05:002015-01-12T01:45:51.830-05:00What a lovely post!

A song that immediately transports me to a particular moment, and makes me feel as if I were there once more.

For example, I can't listen to any song on the album Antics by Interpol without immediately being transported to my small college town. I remember walking along the streets and exploring the far reaches of the town alone with my iPod (and that album, of course). Although it's not a major life event, it's something I vividly remember because it's so deeply connected to those songs. This is just one of the many reasons why I love music so much.

One of my fondest memories of late was hearing Dave sing row your boat on a ukulele while I was cleaning the kitchen. Every time I heard him sing "life is but a dream" I couldn't help but feel like that was the perfect quote for the moment we were having, it was a good moment, reminding me of a great life I have.

I can listen to any song and it takes me back to a certain place and time. That is why we rarely turn on the TV and constantly have music playing in our home. TV shows come and go, but music will always hold memories and tell stories of our lives.

But putting together a puzzles leaves your brain pretty free to do other things, and frequently someone else will be watching a show, or I'll talk to someone while I assemble, and then the next time I put it together, I remember where I was and what was going on around me. It's a nice feeling.Jenn @ Optimization Actuallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08239463922130451189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-23909175329778998372015-01-07T14:37:22.446-05:002015-01-07T14:37:22.446-05:00That's me with John Denver.
