(10,611 posts)8. "Sweet Caroline"
takes me back to the family cross-country road trip we took when I was very young.
There are others, like George Harrison's "Blow Away" that I connect with a vacation in L.A. I took with a friend a few years back. It was playing in a restaurant and stuck with me the rest of the trip. Now whenever I hear it, I flash back to our drive through the Hollywood Hills.
Another one: "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" (R.E.M.) takes me back to a visit with my sister's family on Long Island - with a quick visit with a long-ago ex-BF in NYC while I was there. Memories!
