Associating songs with everyday things

Many people use everyday songs, or lyrics to help them remember things or help make something seem more real. Some people probably think that it’s stupid, or a waste of time, but to those people who do associate things with music or song lyrics, it’s just another daily thing. Just like going to school or work or sleeping.

Some people even associate people with songs. Like many relationships have their “song” that they share together. That way when they hear the song, they can think about that person and all the great times that they have had together, or why that person makes them happy. And why that song is theirs.

Other people connect songs with promises, such as my cousin and I, the song, Break Away by Kelly Clarkson has become to mean a lot to both of us for multiple reasons. Such as that is our “getting out of here song”. So every time either of the two of us hears that song, we think about the future and getting out of here.

Maybe associating things with music is hard for people to understand. Next time a song comes on just listen to it and think. Just see what comes to your head, and see if you think the same thing the next time it comes on. The results might surprise you, you might be doing it without even realizing.
