Did you hear a song that reminds you of someone in your past?

I mean do you have a favorite song that reminds you of a place or a person in your past? Whether it's a lover,friends,relatives,neighbors or anyone you knew in the past. It happened to me a lot. If I heard a certain song my mind would freeze from the things i'm working at and travel in memory lane. Back to that person or place that i become associated with. It's like watching a movie flashes in your eyes.

Yeah, I have a few. The first one to come to mind is 'I Miss You' by Blink 182. This song isn't like all of their songs that they are known for. And the lyrics say so much when you really listen to them. The song reminds me of someone that left me in short notice four years ago. It still stings because I used to listen to that song at the time because it reminded me of them in some way. Now when I listen to it the memories come back and I get all upset, lol.

Hi reckon, welcome to mylot! Yes there is a song that does that to me, "Hello" by Lionel Richie, when I hear that song it takes me back to a certain place and I think of a certain person. It has been 28 years and that song still takes me down "memory lane" a very very long "memory lane."

Yes. A lot of times it happened to me especially when I'm all alone in my room. It makes me lie in my bed while reminiscing the memories associated with that song.

" Lady in red" by Chris De burg, is a song which somehow makes me travel down memory lane. There are some special moments which I get lost in. There are a few others, but this one is special.

Yes it happens with me. I did my college from a place called Tamil Nadu and had a serious relationship with a girl from my class. Unfortunately her parents married her off to someone else and whenever I hear a particular tamil song which we both used to listen to together I am taken back to my college days and I do get a lot sentimental.

I think anything that is connected to your senses makes you recall something in the past. Music, taste, smells, etc. Let me know if you think the same.
