A melody can bring back a memory...

"Ain't it funny how a melody can bring back a memory
Take you to another place in time
Completely change your state of mind

It can make a right from a wrong, it can make you fall in love
It can get you singin' along"  Clint Black



Isn't it funny how a song can bring back a memory or even change your mind about a certain event?

For so long, I hated the song "Hey, Soul Sister" by Train.  Until... I visited the Texas State Aquarium last November.  I watched the dolphins playing together in their underwater showcase and this song came on the speakers.  I never liked this song before, however once it start playing and the dolphins started playing, I fell in love with the tune.  Don't know how or why it struck me, but it did.

From that day forward it will always be a part of me.  I will always remember the dolphins every time I hear this song.

Another, is the time I ran the Houston Marathon back in the early 90's and Phil Collin's, "I Wish it Would Rain Down" came on my walkman.  I remember it vividly, like it was yesterday.  I was at the 20 mile marker and it helped me complete the race.

The Lion King was released when I was dating, Lisa (my wife), who I met at Texas A&M University and the Elton John song "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" came on.  It has since been "our song".   Happy Valentine's Day Love!


What song(s) place you back to a time that you will never forget?
