This really hit home. It’s crazy how music isn’t just sound. It’s memories, people, and entire moments frozen in time. The part about certain songs carrying the ‘ghosts of people’ really stuck with me. It’s so true, some songs just instantly take you back to a person or a place, no matter how much time has passed. Loved this!
Absolutely love this. Music does a lot for me, but I always appreciate it giving me various waves of nostalgia. It’s like I can reconnect with my younger self just by hearing a melody!
Ahh, I feel ya on this! Songs that take you back to the good old days are always to be held close. how happy memeories, and vibes it must have been then! Happy to know that music does this for you, Paige! 💛
Music is basically my personal hard drive for memories. I’ve got a whole playlist of songs tied to very dramatic life moments. Nice to see so many folks in this thread doing the same. Guess I was a bit too innocent thinking this was my rare superpower. :P
yayy!! I'd vocuh on this too, Abhilash! Some songs can portal you to the golden old days in seconds! soo happy to have you here! haha, making a playlist for such moments itself issa superpower! 💛gotta be proud!
Lovely post Anjali! Low-tech is better in my opinion. Even though life is easier with Spotify, I miss the days of buying CDs and listening to all of them on long road trips. So much nostalgia haha. Thanks for sharing this.
I’d def favor this! There was always that moment of stumbling upon good music and converting it into MP3s from YouTube and whatnot! <3 kinda miss those times! so happy to know my piece brought back happy memories from then, Daniel!! 💌
That was such a gorgeous piece. Indeed, music reminds us of a things- from home as a place to home as a person. I love to share music with people, that automatically makes me close to them. I really enjoyed it. Thankyou sm for sharing it with us 🫶🏻
yass! Sharing music is a kinda intimacy! casual or persona, your call! <3 thank you so much, Misty! I'm sooo happy you enjoy, and resonate with my thoughts! 💌
Oh yes yes! Totally to every word of this except on sharing playlists. Sharing good music is one of most divine things to share? To share my favourite playlist and then after couple of months you see that friend grooving to it - it’s a beautiful feeling :)
Yass! Sharing playlist is elite, but yeah, guess I gotta work more on it! watching someone grow into your music is lowkey the best feeling everrrr. soo happy you resonate with this, Aman!! big thanks for the reads, yayy!! <3
Ahh, this was such a happy trigger! My earliest memory is of me and my mum vibing to Maria by Ricky Martin! Then came the Blues, BSB, Euphoria, and the glorious early Y2K albums. This just reminded me to look for my forgotten memory cards, chock full of songs downloaded from Limewire. A spring-summer-nostalgia playlist is in order for me now! :)
oyy, thankss, i've just discovered a new song from your happy memory! :P i recently discovered that artist with a song, livin la vida loca. your comment issa playlist itself, woohoo!!! those times, when Limewire and those shady downloads were some legit core memories!<3 sooo happy this brought back good old happy memories, Khushboo!!
Lajjavathiye supremacy✨ Love this piece on music , Anjali . Very heartfelt and a potent nostalgia trigger . I absolutely loved the vibe you created here Anjali, bringing to my imagination a medley of songs that brought in memories woven together 🌸
I love it when someone recommends me music that they think is my vibe and I started doing it for them too!! On my recent trip, I had this album downloaded and I had it on repeat: Inner Song by Kelly Lee Owens. It's very light, girly and a breath of fresh air, perfect for a solo trip and I think you will like it, Anjali :)
yayyy!! Just checked it, and I can already imagine it playing while watching landscapes pass by!! I'll always remember you by this piece, thanks, Vaanya! <3
This is true - how music connects us to people and to past memories. I have several I can think of. I will share a moment in a clothing shop with adear friend. The song 'Happy' by Pharrell Williams came on and my friend and I must have been in a glorious mood because we started dancing around the aisles and goofing about in front of strangers (who smiled at us). And so now when it comes on the radio - I text my friend to let her know I'm think of her. This song will forever evoke that very happy memory!
ayyy! that’s peak energy vibes here!! I could literally picture your happy memory with this song! whatta time to be alive and be joyful in the company of people and music! Love the texting part; I do that too! Ik this song, and it's all that the title says! Sooo happy that you resonate with this tiny share, buddy! Keep dancing more and rocking at life! 💛
