It's amazing to me how powerful sound is in our lives.

The other day I was working and I heard a song from a cd I listened to back when i used to walk to and from work downtown chicago everyday.  The memories that came back were incredible, all you can do is just smile and soak in the details.  Memories that were sparked from a single soundwave.

The details are amazing too, I was drawn back to remembering events that occured, smells that I experienced, how the weather was, down to such detail that it felt like I was reliving the experience.

This has been happening to me a lot lately, specifically listening to music, maybe it's because I pulled out a playlist from a while ago on my computer, or mayb e there's some other reason.

Does this happen to anyone else? I would hope so.  Or more specifically, does anyone have certain cd's that they always pull out in certain seasons? (christmas cd's do not count, I know everyone loves listening to christmas tunes in april)

I can't believe the impact that sound or music has on my life, it's awesome how it brings back all those great memories like a movie.
