Music Linked to Memory

"Every man's memory is his private literature."
- Aldous Huxley


Sharing memories is universal. And I have always taken great pleasure in sharing memories, even if it's only with myself. As I've mentioned before, I keep a lot of journals. It's not enough to just write in them for me though, I also go back and read them. I love realizing how much I've grown, or just remembering something hilarious that happened years ago.

In this vein, I've decided to dedicate my Wednesdays to sharing memories. (And, shh, don't tell, but this is sort of my concession to not posting any of my fiction of this blog.)

To kick things off, here are a series of memories I have linked to specific songs. Music is a huge part of my life. Pretty much everyone in my family loves good music, and any time we spend hanging out together will invariably be accompanied by it. Finding new music has found me new friends. Having music tastes in common with my boyfriend makes our road trips a hell of a lot shorter too!

After the cut, a growing list of songs and the memories they induce.
