Do you ever reminisce about the past? Perhaps when you hear a certain song?

Oh...music is the best conjuror of old feelings. I can hardly listen to familiar songs without being transported to a past place/time/event. I'm finding now as I get older that a lot of songs transport me to one than one time/place......I don't find it too much with places...and smells just tend to make me subconciously happy...like the smell of freshly cut grass doesn't take me back to a specific time/place just makes me feel happy.

A lot. There are songs which remind me of my previous crushes. But the songs that makes me reminisce most are my elementary and high school graduation songs. Full of beautiful memories.

Memories, at the tender age of 63 years old, I do have a lot. Songs have always been a big part of my life. I do reminisce when I hear just about any song, especailly country songs. Out side of songs in grade school, I felt like country was about all there was. Then as a pre-teen and teenages in the 50's, I discovered what they now call old-time rock and roll. I do like about every kind of music even though rap doesn't do much for me. Memories also come to me from books and reading. The answer to your question then would be a big resounding YES. What would we have if not for our memories? It would be hard to have a dream without them.

I reminisce every time I hear 365 days by Anita Baker I remember that was the song my ex boyfriend and I use to groove to.

Hi. I know the feeling, when I listen to certaint songs it does remind me of episodes of my life from the past, it could be good or bad, depends on what Ive heard... I also reminisce about my growing up years, when I smell that rain on concrete smell, or second hand furniture... Weird but true...

Yes, me too. To me, every scent and sound records a certain mood, there are songs and scents that reminds me of the moody times, I will definitely avoid these, for others that "records" the cheerful times, I will always surround myself with them cos I prefer to remember the happier times.

Yes, smelling the favorite perfume of an ex-girlfriend really brings back memories for me. Also reading old love letters. I don't know why, but the sound of rain makes me reminisce about high school. What makes me reminisce the most is looking at my yearbooks, seeing my friends' pictures from high school and college. Surely a lot of wonderful memories there. Reminiscing makes me happy.

I am a particularly sentimental person and one of the best way to ignite my sentimentalities is through songs from the past. For example, I particularly remember the graduation song we had in high school or the song we sing during a high school program. Even those hit songs during my younger days, whenever they are played memories came flooding through. This is very much true when I am alone. Though I am not a collector of different music albums, I love music especially those which are soothing and relaxing as well as mildly danceable beats. We all have memories from the past, they will always be a part of our lives forever. Sometimes the only thing that will remain with us are just memories of the people who touched us and others whom we touched, of place we visited, of things we have done, of successes we have attained and the failed struggles we had undergone. Joys. Pain. Happiness. Tears. Excitement. Dejectment. All of those were just memories from the past. From time to time brought out alive by music.

There is one song that always bring my memories back to the good old time when I was still schooling. The song is Top of the world by the carpenters. That song always make me feel warm inside whenever I listen to it. Strange but true.

I think I do this too much! I had a good five years of traveling the world and volunteering. I spent many months in other countries and made tons of great friends. If I hear a song from that country or hear someone talking about it brings back many memories. Plus I have photos around my house of some of the people I met. I have a lot of the children I worked with in an orphanage in Thailand. I miss those kids so much. I love traveling and since I can't really do it anymore all I can do is reminisce! :)

yes i often if i listen to some music i will

Yah - nice topics indeed. I reminisce alot when listen certain song. One English poet said "our sweetest songs are thos that tells of saddest past" Each man or woman has saddest past and can remember like you and are getting pain in mind silently. My grievance is that I lost my mom at too early age and grown in my grandmom's home(mother's mother)who loved me alot that cannot be described in short. She was not only gramdmom but like my best best friend, at my childhood she played with me, travelled accompaning with me, I slept with her in same bed, in summer she airmed me at hot time, in winter she warmed me with rug during my deep sleep, in disease she sat at my bed side and shown her holehearted affection and dosed my medicine perfectly and prayed to God for my quick remedy. A lot of things she did for me and I can remember is when I hear song like lyric "you left me without notice silently leaving me alone in this ocean like problematic world" etc. etc.

It happens to almost everybody.Songs are always intertwined with the mood and situation we hear them first.They always are registered with the situations in our mind.They always bring back the sweet and other memories without fail.

There are really many songs that remind me of things that have passed in my life. Some are good, some sad..but they're all important because i am who i am thanks to those events they remind me of. So yes, i do reminisce about the past, specially through music.

I believe that everyone's life has its own soundtrack - music that accompanied some of your happiest moments. My soundtrack is very diverse. It includes songs from Rush "Exit . . . Stage Left", Chicago's 1st greatest hits album, pretty much anything from Van Halen (except with Gary Cherone), and Ravel's "Bolero".

i was in love when i was 8 years old, n i used to listen romantic songs that time... these Funny and beautiful memories make me smile everytime i remind them.

Everybody has a sweet and sour past...It gets reflected basically when an incident happens...most of the time its reflected in our mind when we hear any old songs..like after listening a song, that time gets reflected when we went to movie with frineds,...some hip hop music recalls the disco that we went with friends, some songs that made us dance during a holiday trip...those music create a virtual past sweet memory that nobody wants to forget
