Melodies & Memories

Do you ever recall a particular memory when you hear a song? I'm not referring to times when you would say, "Yeah, I remember hearing that song once when I was [here] or [there]." Instead, I'm talking about those times when the song invokes (evokes?) the details of a situation - the other sounds, the smells, the feelings you had at the time, and the rest of the entire experience.

This shows my age, but I remember a few from my childhood... If I get around to it later, I'll share the memory that accompanies these melodies.

Physical (Olivia Newton John)
Lord, I Hope this Day is Good (Don Williams)
Queen of Hearts (Juice Newton)
Elvira (The Oak Ridge Boys)

When I hear "Islands in the Stream" I think of being on the school bus and Todd is the bus driver. I am sitting about 6 seats back on the driver's side of the bus. And there is snow outside.

eewww! Memories of a pedophile! We should have reported him after he'd kiss Sara on the lips when she got on the bus - she was only in K or Grade 1 at the time... Is he still locked up??
