Music is a non-verbal language that acts upon the subconscious in a way that words can't. Certain songs can serve as anchors for specific events in one's life, such that hearing a song many years later will immediately evoke whatever emotional state the listener was in when the association was created. Sometimes I cue up all the songs I can find from a specific period in my life, and immersing myself in the music makes me feel as if I have been transported back to that period. I imagine this is similar to the effect Christopher Reeve's character produced in the film Somewhere in Time.
