Do you agree?
I've ever felt this, so I'm pretty sure it's right.....

yes it can exercise your memory through association or whatever else...
But if u have a disease or brain/nerve damage, maybe not.

By saving your memories are you speaking of recalling things that happened in your life that a particular song reminds you of?

Let's say a girl you used to date, but you had a break up... do you have a song that reminds you of that during that time? I had a song by Extreme called More Than Words that I won't even listen to today since the break up I had. And that was over 20 years ago! :?

Absolutely agree. Times, places, events. Yup. Mostly good or neutral-ish.

Good topic.

Sure, music can save or trigger memories. The number one trigger for memory though is your nose. Scent is the most powerful memory trigger for some reason.

Associations, yes. I associate The Beatles "Your Mother Should Know" with mowing the lawn, and a specific tree in my yard. It always seems to play when I'm in that spot.

Haven't you ever heard a song that you haven't heard in years and then suddenly you are pulled back in a time and place that was secreted back in the recesses of your mind only to come to the forefront like the kiss at the end of a wet fist? :)

Yeah, I remember this song! Wow. I haven't heard this in years!

In fact, it just happened to me the other day. Dream Weaver by Gary Wright!

Yeah, you remember that song too don't you?

Certain songs take me back do a different place and time. They can make you wish you were back in that moment.

Scent is important because we still have Neanderthal genes.

Cause when you smell a sabre-toothed cat or cave-bear...

...gotta take action.

I'd say it's all about association, I hear a song and I think about all the times I heard it here or there in the past.

Every time I hear Jay Ferguson/Thunder Island or J Walsh/Life's Been Good I think of the swimming pool we hung out at as kids.

Or everytime I hear I Was Made for Loving You/KISS, My Sharona/Knack or Heart of Glass/Blondie I think of the skating rink..... :D

What I find unique about that association is that it's almost always a good memory I tie to a certain song. Not many bad memories ever come up when I hear a particular song. :D
