Some songs just have the ability to transport us to a certain time or place. The music-memory connection really is pretty amazing, right?
Why am I talking about this? Well, since the school year has begun, I have to start waking up to an alarm again. I havenβt gotten to changing the alarm tone since the England trip, so each time it goes off, wonderful vacation memories are brought up.
Which got me thinking about all the other tunes that invoke some lovely memories. Here are just some on the top of my head.
- Come & Get It – Selena Gomez
- Every time I hear this now, Iβm brought back to the gymnasium in
- Β where all the dance troupes slept.

I’m a big big music lover. I make a monthly playlist and each one reminds me of something that was happening in my life then. I like to go back and listen to them π
Shawn says
It’s awesome that you make monthly playlists! Must be quite nice to listen to them and relive the moments. I usually just listen to the songs I like on repeat till I get tired of them which takes quite a while, if I get tired of them at all that is. Haha, I should really branch out more when it comes to music.:P
Liz @ The Girl on Fire Now says
That looks like an awesome trip π
Shawn says
Yup, it really was!
Courtney says
Love these! Now that Selena Gomez song is stuck in my head π
Shawn says
Thanks! Come & Get It has been stuck in my head practically forever too. π

Since I have 4 teenagers, these songs usually remind me of my kids. You look like you travel a lot and are able to do a lot of things. It’s nice to see a person enjoying and embracing life!
Shawn Tang says
That’s really sweet. π
Thanks Nicole! Well, I am trying my best to live my life to the fullest and to enjoy every moment of it.

Music truly is the way straight to emotions. I have the music on my phone sorted into types. Fast and loud for when I’m stressed or want to clean the house. Touching for when I need to let it out. And of course The Muppets Christmas for any time of year. Enjoy your SITS Day.
Shawn Tang says
It most certainly is! That sounds like a really good idea, the music on my phone is just a jumble of songs I like. π
Thanks Sheila!
Rabia @TheLiebers says
I had a boyfriend who loved John Denver music. Now every time I hear a John Denver song I think of him. Nothing bad, just fond memories of a relationship that ran it’s course.
Shawn Tang says
That sounds pretty interesting. π Good thing they’re fond ones instead of bad ones.
Tiffany says
Wow! A $50 caricture? LOL You’re right though…music has a way to transport you instantly back to a moment, feeling, emotion connected with it. Great post! Thanks for sharing and Happy SITS Day!
Shawn Tang says
I know right? π That’s one of the reasons why I love listening to music. π Thank you so much Tiffany!
