Yeah, specific times and places.
"Fast Car," Tracy Chapman. Sunset on the Gulf of Siaman, '88. Was staying in this little tourist hut thing -- kind of a thatched-roof motel, with no cars -- on Koh Samui. For some reason, they'd play "Fast Car" late into the evening at the open-air bar/cafe, and it'd echo out down the beach and out to sea into the velvet night.
"You've Lost That Loving Feeling," the Righteous Brothers. For some reason, brings back memories of being 10 years old in the back of my folks' '61 Buick with my feet hanging out the window as the old man tooled it down country roads in Napa County on a summer Sunday, the Righteous Brothers crooning from the tinny AM radio.
