Isn't it funny how some songs remind you of specific times of your life? And specific occasions.
Like Wham - Last Christmas reminds me of all the skitrips we used to take as a family to Norway. Many, many years ago. I still remember driving to Hovden in the middle of the night, not being able to sleep because I was afraid of the windy mountain roads being to slippery, and it seemed like this song was always on the radio.
Another song, that I've first started to hear recently reminds me of my trip to England last week. Macy Gray - Don't Forget Me. I don't really know why, but it does. Just like Norah Jones - Back to Manhattan reminds me of Mallorca .. And Dido - Sand In My Shoes reminds me of all those times coming home from holidays, and not really being happy about being home again. KT Tunstall - Suddenly I See reminds me of my old roommate Claudia. It reminds me of her because she told me that when she heard this song, she always thought of me. I don't actually know why. C'est Si Bon by Eartha Kitt reminds me of .. wait for it .. France! .. No, but actually I heard it for the first time in the movie Something's Gotta Give .. One of my favorite movies btw. And everytime I'm in France, I think of this song. Cause I loooove France, and this song means "It's so good". And it is. In France, everything just feels .. good. Which brings me to something that makes me feel not-so-good. I was supposed to be going to France in the easter holiday, which I was looking SO forward to. But now it turns out we're not going anyway. Again. So .. That sucks.
Michael Bublé - Home reminds me of all the times I've been down in the dumps and just tired of everything, and just wanted to be somewhere else. And his other songs Come Fly With Me and Quando Quando Quando just make me happy.
Okay, so we've established that every song reminds me of something. I'd better stop before I remember too many things. But that's why it's fun to listen to old songs that you used to hear a lot once .. It suddenly reminds you of things you had forgotten about.
