Nothing recalls the past like music Madame de Staël I absolutely think that pop music is hormonally related. And in our memories it is tied irrevocably to certain moments in our lives. I can't hear Scarborough Fair or For Emily WHerever I May Find Her without a heavy, bittersweet feeling filling me. And if I hear Come on Baby, LIght My Fire, I'm suddenly in a student apartment with a bunch of summer school VMI cadets, lighting candles and laughing ourselves silly. I can be struck dumb in a grocery store by a corny arrangement of Cherish which brings back the first lonely weeks away at college. And see myself in a mirror at the country club pool putting on pale pink lipstick and fixing the little bow in my teased hair while Whiter Shade of Pale pours through the speakers. So my guess is that the all those songs that still hide in the corners of your brain are from those adolescent moments, when everything was so vivid and your senses were more open than they would ever be again. As adults, we often say, "thank GOD I'm not 16 again." BUt in your heart of hearts, do you ever wish you could feel again- just for a little while-- the intensity about life and love that you had then?
