Ok, here's a frivolous post. LOL! I'm sure this happens to some of you. I love music and often l have associated certain music with things I was doing at the time, or obsessing over. I remember as a freshman in HS, crushing hard on this girl. I never spoke to her even once. I only admired her from afar and came to associate this song to her:

(My Eyes Adored You).

Then, another time, I remember reading the Peter Benchley novel, The Deep (later made into a feature film with Nick Nolte and Lou Gossett Jr. Robert Shaw, and Jaqueline Bisset). I read much of this book wearing headphones and listening to Kansas, Leftoverture:

There is other music I have become very emotionally, sometimes painfully, linked to. What about you?

Both songs, and smells, can trigger the most profound and detailed memories of times in our lives !

Nearly every song I love has a good or painful memory built in. Way too many to list. But, just a few:

Helen Reddy’s Me and You Against the World is raising my daughter as a single mom.

I Will Never Be the Same by Melissa Etheridge is after my live-in like-married ex cheated and left us.

Train’s Drops of Jupiter is my fiancée who died a couple months after it came out.

Trace Adkin’s You’re Gonna Miss This is driving my daughter to do senior portraits—tearing up now.

Tons more. I think this is commonplace for probably everybody.

*Adkins’ — still can’t edit on phone.

I agree, this is a common thing. Thanks for sharing. =]

The Kansas albums brings back memories of my first apartment after I moved out from my parents house. That album was on the stereo a lot......

Doesn't hurt a bit that it's a pretty awesome album. I remember buying a "remastered" version of this on vinyl. Then digital music took over the world. LOL!
