Have you ever noticed how closely music and memories are tied together? I can hear a song from long ago and a clear memories of what I was doing and who I was with will pop into my mind.
Even now I have an instant memories of walking hand and hand with my first love with him singing "My Girl". It is a special memory for me. We had broken up recently, I was broken hearted, and was sure I just couldn't go on without him.
He showed up at my house about a week after we broke up and asked if we could take a walk and talk. Of course I said yes. We talked, got back together, and ended up getting engaged a year later.
Anyway, after we made up we kept walking and he held my hand and just started singing "MyGirl".
It will always be a special song for me. Do you have a special song and memory?

The song 'Picture' by kid rock and sheryl crow is my song with my daughter. When she was a newborn-3months old i would sing it to her all the time so whenever she cried, i would sing it and it'd be the only thing to make her stop.

@HazySue my daughter wasnt much of a crier but when she did cry the song worked. Also to put her to sleep.

@Courtlynn Mine had colic which kept her up a lot. Back in those days they did not have a suitable solution for colic.

@HazySue thank you for sharing, such a personal truth. The power of the mind, and heart, to remember a song - despite the challenges of dementia -,a song so loved by your Dad. Xxx
