Mr. Blue Sky Was Mr. Red Flag
A drunk husband, a fast car, and a pregnant designated driver, 20+ years later the song still plays but the memory finally makes sense.
Music Roulette 9 ~ Jagged Little Playlist
It is common for music to trigger involuntary memories. Without trying, a song plays, and a recollection pops up without trying. Music shows up during everyday activities, and we pay it no mind. We listen to music while commuting, working out, doing chores, and the mind wanders and old memories come wandering out. I’d like to evoke some autobiographical music encoded memories. Time for another round of music roulette. Let’s see what memories emerge from this random playlist of uncurated songs.
Music Roulette 8 ~ What’s the Frequency, Spotify
I read somewhere that music is the closest thing we have to time travel. Listening to certain songs will take us back in time to specific developmental periods in our lives, like timestamps in our personal history. I completely agree. Certain songs mean certain things. And certain songs evoke specific emotions. Music is a powerful tool, certainly not the “blunt tool” that Hannibal Lecter accuses Clarice of using on him at their first meeting in The Silence of the Lambs. Time to dissect with another round of music roulette.
The Ex-Files ~ Ghost in the Machine
The music survived the marriage. The person to share it with didn't.
Call Me ~ the Happiest Version of Myself
What’s a song that always puts you in a good mood? Call Me – Remix Version by Deee-lite, Method One. This song is guaranteed to put me in a good mood.
