Muzak

I bought some music tonight. It is truly amazing how music has an inherent power to transport me back in time. Notwithstanding Old Spice commercials on TV, it may be the strongest sense tied to memory.

As I am sure is true for you, there are some songs, bands, and albums that evoke strong memories; memories of joy, freedom, and deep sadness. Occassionally, you stray too far from your memories and it often takes music to remind you of who you were and what you once believed life to be.

I experienced a wave of this nostalgic awakening this week and availed myself of the afore-linked technology (which, by the way was not around when I last listened to this music) to take a trip back in time.
