The effect of a Song....

Its weird how a song has the power to bring back the oldest memory in such deep detail that you remember everything, even things you want to forget...

A song, the words... bring back everything...put you back in that moment. You can see yourself in the exact location or state you were in. What you were wearing, the ambiance, the smell and over all, THE FEELING... you feel the exact same thing you felt at that moment.

The heart captures whatever happens in those few minutes to a song that was playing at that moment. And of course this happens only when that moment means something to you... it doesn't matter if later on in life you think of that moment in the same way... you might want to hold on to it or completely forget it... whatever the case that one song just brings it all back to life...

Just another way our mind works... associating memories to a song... i wonder if we can do more with this power (can I call it a power?) or ability that we have...
