As long as I can remember I have always felt this deep connection to music.  I can hear a song and it will make me think of something 20 years ago, or yesterday, or something I thought I had forgotten. 

Now that I’m grown I may not always remember certain things that happened awhile back, or when I was a kid, or whatever, but I find that when a certain song comes on I am brought back to that very moment…I can remember the emotions or situations or words said with distinct detail.

When I was young and stupid (and unjaded and not as proud) I used to listen to music and daydream about what occasion or moment that song would be perfect for.  A father-daughter dance, an anniversary, a fight, a reunion, birth, graduation, revenge…what have you.

I am listening to the radio today and this song came on.  I hadn’t heard it before, but as I listened I realized that I was a lot more familiar with a cover of the song.  I was instantly brought back to specific moments and conversations I had with someone in my life, and thought about (again), oh why didn’t we just work out?  In other words, it was like breaking up again, I guess.

I know I am not the first or last person to have such an experience, but man, do I ever still feel really pathetic right now.
