Music triggering memories and feelings  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 91/100. TrinityRose (274) 6 years ago

Have you ever noticed that music can seriously trigger memories and feelings that could have been suprressed for years and brought them back? The other day I was getting my hair cut and this song came on the radio and I knew what song it was within a few seconds of it starting. Well my father died of cancer on August of 2006 and the song came on and reminded me of him and how much I miss him. The lady was so sweet she just kept talking to me like crazy trying to block it out for me. Have you ever had this happen?

I am sorry to hear about your loss! Hugs! I have had this happen to me so many times. It is has been over 13years since i saw my family, reasons beyond my control. There are days when i am all alone and hear a music that have triggered memories. It is hard to block them. I just let my memories take me back in time and enjoy the time i had with my family. The other thing that triggers memories is smell. Food smells have made me miss my mom a lot. :(

Aww hun I am so sorry but I know that we both can feel each others pain! It is true though that not just music can trigger memories! I am having a hard time with my dad's death because he will always be the number one guy in my life and I look up to him, idolize, and well worship him! Remember the good things and make sure they overwhelm the bad things!

That has happened to me many many times. It's amazing how a song can take you back to a certain place. I have actually started crying over long past heartaches because of a song that plays. There's a Trisha Yearwood song about this phenomenon called, "The Song Remembers When" and it's an amazing song. I think even if you don't like country music it is an interesting song to hear or read the lyrics.

I don't even really know this but I think that music was originally created to make you feel emotions and anything in your heart and give you a chance to really get to know yourself

Well that is your opinion. Most people have feelings and actual souls. So it is positive to think of memories past because it can give you comfort and help you move on and build a thicker skin. Obviously you have no heart.

All of the 80's music does this to me. lol
Just about every song that comes on reminds me of a person,place, or even just a single day.
Some music reminds me of when I was a kid because my mother listened to it.
That is what makes music so special.

Evenif it brings bad emotions or heartbreak back I think that it helps you develop a thicker skin on some areas and it also give yoiu a chance to revisit the past and remember the happy things in life when you are sad. Music is my way of escape!
