It's amazing how songs can bring back a certain point in your life so clearly. I actually worte a paper on this topic once and got an A. There are so many for me but a few off the top of my head are:
Pearl Jam's "In my Tree" - When No Code first came out I was getting ready to go away to University and I clearly remember listening to this song as I was driving away from one of the best Labor Day Weekend parties at my cabin towards a new town where I knew exactly nobody.
Jimmy Buffett "One Particular Harbor" - This song and a lot of other Buffett songs remind me of driving to and from some ski hill with my dad. He was always listening to Jimmy and therfore I was too. I love it though. A lot of Jimmy's songs are starting to take on new meanings to me though since listening to them while sailing in the caribbean. They just fit so well with sailing there.
Ben Harper "Forever" - This song easily brings me back to the first time that my girlfriend left for school across the country. I was listening to a lot of Ben Harper around then and this song stands out. It was the same way with her too cause she was listening to it on a cd that I made for her. We're using it for our first dance at our wedding in June.
I better cut it off there since I could go on and on about this topic and I'm stuck at home, sick so I have nothing better to do.
