When a song is played.

[Bitchin]

and all these memories come rushing back to your brain.

some happy and some sad.

It makes you miss those times, or not want to remember them at all.

Whenever I hear 'Hey ya' I think of when bob, erin and I when we're living in a hotel... trying to relieve some stress.. n got a noise complaint. Or driving aroundin the truck.

Whenever I hear 'Lucy in the sky with diamonds' I think of when Erin, Geoff and I sat around DLing ring tones....

Whenever I hear "Let's get Retarded" I think of mikey and his lil'dance.

Whenever I hear "Video killed the radio star" I think of when Nicole, Stacey and I went camping.. and got a noise complaint from the boars.

Whenever I hear "Jammin" I think of Bobby_t's cabin 2 years ago[2003].

I could go on...
It's wierd how certain things trigger certain things in our minds. I came across a song right before I started typing this out.. brought back some memories. Made me miss some friends.

Good times...

I hear Stairway and think of driving around with Chris.

I hear Dust in the wind and I cry. I think of USC 7 with the boys.

When I hear Freebird I think of Mike...

When I hear More than a feeling I think of driving with the music blasting with my Mom.

I hear Jammin and I think of Brians house after Kick It.

I hear this one coldplay song and think of driving to Shambhala with Jake. :)

I hear Up all night and I think of Chris, Tim, Brock, Charity and Joel. (But mostly Chris)

I hear Dreamer and I think of John.

I miss some people.

[mojo]

SUMMERLOVE MUTHAFUCKA.... man was that song soo much better when it was called.... that dope jungle song

[mugsy]

i was having the same thought today as i was procastinating on doing my homework and listening to records and cd's and my infamous "meghan mixes" on tape.

here comes the sun makes me think of my dad.

wild horses makes me think of aaron. along with phil collins in the air tonight.

all my led zepllin makes me think of mike and grade 11.
and my morcheeba cd always brings back the memory of being on mushrooms and having mitch ask whats playing and i said morecheeba, and him going but we just smoked some cheeba, me going no its morecheeba, ect. ect.

chemical brothers song that goes "sunday morning im waking up got even focus on a coffee cup..." reminds me of grade 9, waking up from a night of acid, in a bed with 4 other girls and giggling.

you are my sunshine makes me think of my mom waking me up in the mornings.

would you mind makes me think of tanya and birch bay.

baby i got your money makes me think of kamloops and wrestling and surrey.

soda makes me think of green lake, and falling down mountains, and riding bikes into the lake, and lying on a floating dock smoking too much weed.

my babys got sauce reminds my of the day i got accepted into my program.

my entire portishead cd makes me think of aaron. along with my bjork best of.

by far though one of my favorite things, is finding one of my mix tapes from grade 8 or 9 or something, and listening to it. brings back so much.

The way your brain stores and remembers shit is basically through branching, so if you heard a song that you heard a lot of during a certain point in time all those memories are triggered. The way the mind works in that fashion is really friggin' cool to play with. For me my memories are nearly all music related:

The "As it Happens" Theme song off CBC radio: Earliest Memory of being 1 and this playing in the pale green kitchen of our house in Lilooet. I can actually picture nearly all of it in my mind. The radio was on top of the fridge, and we were in the process of packing everything to move to Agassiz so the kitchen sounded really empty with lots of reverb. I can't remember what we where eating at all, but I know that the tabel had a navy-blue cloth on it and that the kitchen smelled of pine-sol from being cleaned.

Everybody Have Fun Tonight - Wang Chung: Watching MTV on our old 19" TV in Agassiz in the rec room. That place was 70s PHAT. Deep orange/brown shag carpetting and cheap wood panelling. The music video for this song I can remember being shot in a weird wood paneled place with weird angles and stuff. A whole lotta Agassiz Memeories are linked to that one.

eh, I won't bore you guys with anymore. Suffice to say that I can pretty much remember my entire life with 1 CDs worth of songs.

The Launch - Good times at Basic Training in 1996
Leaving on a Jet Plane - The last night at Aerospace Engineering in Quebec
Top Gun Anthem - The Day I got my Pilots License
Fly me to the Moon - 3700' up-side down going 114 knots over Duncan

[brokencrayon]

I love when that happens. Every once in a while it will even trigger me to go through my older CD's and tapes and I'll listen to them while I go through my old photos albums, scrap books, letters, old journals etc... y'know, to remember the good ol' days.

heh up all night, i got some memories with that track too...

[Sykonee]

*Copy & Pasted from a thread I made one year ago. Funny, that.*

Scenario: You're listening to an album. It might be the first time. It might be the hundredth time. All of a sudden, the music clicks inside your head, the track being played washes over your psyche in such a way that only music can. From that moment on, you realize just how great of a song it is and will forever remember the time and place you were when you first recalled that feeling.

Years and years later, whenever you hear that song again, you can still recall that moment as though it had just occured. Such is the power of rhythms and melodies.

Modest Mouse - Teeth Like God's Shoeshine

Reminds me of home...

Yeah!!! I love you Chris!!! What a good memory!

[ebbomega]

On my way to Van on Wednesday, I listened to "Talking Shit About A Pretty Sunset" on the ferry as we pulled out of Nanaimo, shortly after sunfall. That was a cool surreal moment I think I'll flashback to every time I hear that song for a while.

[miss.myra]

Everytime I hear anything off of the metallica black album I can't help but cry or feel off

:/

Played the whole thing at a dear friend's funeral who took his own life.

[stringbeans]

sometimes you listen because you dont want the memories to fade

[Clayton.]

Jovi gets all emotional every time she hear's the launch.

[Lady Dame]

This thread almost made me need to whipe a tear.

[robyn]

sublime/steve miller band/dave matthews = Bowen Island

So glad I don't live there anymore.

[Hot Karl]

any 2 unlimited song reminds me of the summer they were big or their album dropped. i heard that shat on every ride at playland that year. and i went to playland a lot that summer.

backstreet boys i want it that way. it was quite big when i graduated and i distinctly remember people singing this at a house party during grad. it was one of those "we're all so drunk, and we're gradding, who fuckin cares if it's backstreet" i blame the womenfolk.

daz dillenger -*****s just wanna get killed tonight, i had a buddy bump the shit out of this song in gr11, DAILY. when ever i hear this song it just reminds me of the hooped up tempo we used to cruise around in.

sunday bloody sunday - U2, sitting in the planetarium on shrooms for the u2 laser show. as i type this i can still see the picture of a map/streets from the show.

every dj666 song, because it was the first "rave" music i was ever exposed too. driving around in my friends rabbit with his system pounding.

and a whole bunch o' songs related to previous loves. so those have weird emotional value too. but i'm way too manly to elaborate.

[ebbomega]

Cranberries - Zombie used to remind me of really good times.

Memories are still there, association has since thoroughly been washed away.

[Revolver]

when evor i hear tool's 'parabola' im taken back to my heavy occult phase. where i would read nothing but stuff about aleister crowley,the golden dawn,book of enoch,all that dumb stuff...

'stairway to heaven' reminds me of drumming on my math 9 text whilst pretending to be john bohnam....

'the sweater song' will foever remind me of a great love i once had. *gush*
