yourpast? Then when you encounter that item later, your mind flies back to that time and that feeling?It's common in my life. For instance just minutes before writing this post, I heard"We Danced Anyway" by Deana Carter and was transported back eleven years to girl scouts. We were having an International Dinner . Each troop was a different country and had to make the food of that country. And for some reason that song was playing at one point during the meal. Loving the song, I got up and danced.
Hearing that song today, and becoming teleported back to that place confused me because that wasn't exactly a momumental moment in my history. It was just another day. Why does that song remind me of that point in my life?
On the other side of the spectrum, I can understand connecting songs or movies to BIG moments in life such as, your wedding song and so on. I remember my high school open house when I hear the songs played there. I think of my long lost childhood friend when I watch a film that was repeated constantly when we were together.
I guess, no matter the importance of the moment, songs and movies can help us connect to a time. And although I can't seem to find the reason for my remembering now, I'm sure there will be a day when I will.
