I always find myself saying "this song reminds me of the time..." I can be driving in the car, sitting in a restaurant, or walking in the mall and all of a sudden my mind triggers back to a moment in time where the certain song playing overhead first affected my heart. Not every song can be connected back to a memorable moment or time in my life, but there are certainly enough songs out there to constantly keep me on my toes remembering the good ol' days.
"Never Leave You (Uh Oooh, Uh Oooh)" - Lumidee Memory sparked in the car listening to random radio station on I-35. Memory: behind the kitchen in Fazoli's fast-food Italian restaurant, summer after sophomore year in high school, finally made it past being just "the breadstick girl", The Beat 98.5 always playing on the radio, washing dishes in the sink, painting melted butter on the breadsticks for the next day, listening to the O'Connor kids talk about their school gossip, glancing down at my Casio water resistant illuminator watch to see the time
"Falling Slowly" - Glen Hansard, from the movie "Once" Memory sparked by listening to American Idol contestant, Kris Allen. Memory: white fluffy bed, sun shining through blinds of window, late May summer day, Apple laptop sitting on comforter, soundtrack to "Once" playing from the speakers, lying down next to my love, warmth of his arms holding me, looking up at the ceiling, breathing in a deep breath, looking back into his eyes, feeling untouched by time, heart skipping beats, wishing it could last forever
