I always knew you were a softie you big lug!
Please dont kill me. I'm too handsome to die so young.
Although you're absolutely right. People really identify memories and emotions to music. For instance, I cant listen to a Metallica song without remembering hours and hours studying for a grade 11 math final.
Then there are great driving tunes. Albums, artists or songs that I remember from taking long road trips with friends.
This same phenomena is why couples have "that song" that they define their relationship by.
Its interesting, I'm not sure if its a manner of memory storage or just a by-product of circumstancial repetition.
