Music Does It

[ithildin]

Funny how music can really remind of you of certian times in your life. iTunes came on with 'How Deep Is Your Love' by the Bee Gees, and it immediately reminded me of summer when I was a teenager. Odd, since I had ever seen Saturday Night Live Fever (still haven't, didn't own any Bee Gees albums at all at that point, but I guess the soundtrack from the movie was so pervasive, it stamped itself on my subconscious. What else reminds me of those not so great years? Star Wars, always and forever, and musically, the Mecco version of the theme. I used to always play it on the jukebox at the pizza place in Victoria. 'You Light Up My Life', 'Mull of Kintyre', 'Blue Bayou' and 'Don't It Make My Brown eyes Blue'. And 'Voulez Vous' by ABBA is always connected to Darkover in my memories.

What music takes you down memory lane?

I so know what you mean about music being evocative of times of our lives.

And I think you meant Saturday Night Fever? ;-)

My Cherie Amour, Sittin' on The Dock of The Bay, Deacon Blues, Dreams, Band on The Run... just a few of the way too many!

Abba's 'Soldiers' off of The Visitor's album is always linked to Dragonquest and Dragonflight by Anne McCaffrey. Queen's "I'm Going Slightly Mad" is linked to some family memories - watching the music videos for the first time with some family we rarely see. A great time was had by all.

Similar types of things are linked to other songs and albums as well: England is evoked by the Waterloo album - it was the one I had with me on that trip.

J and I were discussing that this past weekend as we pulled out some old CDs. Most music has a specific memory for me.

I love music so a ton of songs, but the first to pop into my head was "The Right Stuff" by New Kids on the Block from the 80s. Me and my cousin would sing along and dance just like they did in the video, lol.
