A musical trip down memory lane

dazahomestead

I have always had really strong memories of when I was a child. Every Sunday we would take a trip to our local air base and watch the planes come in and out followed by a drive over the nearby heath. This was always accompanied by the UK Top 40 on Radio 1, medium wave, we're going back to the 80's here. 

If I hear a song from that time I can recall with clear accuracy where I was, the light levels, the air, the time of year. It's almost like I am actually connecting with the little boy I once was or vividly reliving those moments. Sometimes it's so strong that I'm physically paralyzed briefly.

Music has always been incredibly important to me and it's been a part of my life at every moment.

Moving on into the 90's, the teenage ages, I can still recall those momments, events, sights whenever I hear songs from that time.

I was looking through the chart lists today for 1986. I felt, smelt, tasted all those places, events, memories, songs.

 Not sure if it has anything to do with ASD. Has anyone else ever experienced this?

    why?because as most often any reply written doesn’t actually get posted, it takes forever sterling sround then invariably fails. 

    Land so I tried to paste but that also didn’t work.

     Sorry to rant here and off topic but it annoyed me so much. Maybe every time it does that I will think of this post? 

    My answer is yes, I do experience the same as you.

     My dear friend DC says everyone does, I agree, but as they also said certain fixed experiences or memories can evoke physical feelings again. Smells conjur up memories for most, freshly cut grass, creosote, hot bitumen..

     I call my moments relieved because of certain sounds, smells or feeling sensations through the skin de Jevu moments, very vivid to the extreme, I am literally transported back to that fixed point and feel every type of sensation.

     Thank you for asking about this.

     Take care, oh and so nice to see DC back here posting, I miss you, you can run away now Lol....()

    ... I hear you, Sir. I am going to try a new Thread about this, now, to see what NAS and/or WebPM might have to say about it... (apart from Merry Christmas!)
