Brains!

I wonder if I have written about this before? Well they say that smell is the strongest of the senses when it comes to connecting to a memory. But today I put my iTunes on random, which means its filtering through my whole library and through the stuff I wouldn’t normally listen to or have not in a while and songs keep popping up that I remember from a certain time in my life. I attach the music that is present when i am with a person or in a place. Like Pinback reminds me of Aleisha and founders hall. Kara’s Flowers and Tenacious d, Olga and cruising in her car. The Hippos are Anna and Manhatten beach. Switchfoot Colleen in Colin's car. Phish, Sara McLachlan Colin and his dorm room. The Velvet Teen and Matt. Heather and the New Radicals or Semisonic. Theres so many things I can connect to people and places its kinda crazy. It’s so horribly sad at times too. Bitter sweet, annoying that I cant just enjoy the music with out getting all sentimental and romantic. But sometimes it pulls me back to places i really do i want to remember and i am happy for that, i am happy that these times can be pulled out of me like weeds growing at the bottom of a pond.
