dosa312 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 As I was driving home yesterday a song came on the radio and caused a really vivid memory to pop into my head of the time my brother got shot. I've had this happen a few other times with things such as sounds (mostly music but other sounds as well), smells, or visual cues. It's usually some moment that I had completely forgot about and it seems like when it happens I can remember really specific details. I find it pretty interesting because years of alcohol and drug abuse make it hard to recall much on demand. I figured I'd share a couple times it's happened. Anyone else have this happen? 1. The song "Return of the Mac" brings back the memory of my brother right after he'd been shot six times and was first released to a private room from the ICU. He was watching The Box and this fucking video was on when I walked into his room. I can still remember really minor details of that room and that moment whenever I hear that song. 2. The song Closer by Nine Inch Nails immediately reminds me of smashing this femme in high school out behind a horse racing track in the back seat of a 1988 Pontiac Sunbird because she made me play it on the TAPE DECK! while we fucked. 3. The smell of Cool Water for Women reminds me of sneaking in the window of this Asian broads house in high school and getting a head case from her in her bathroom while her parents sat downstairs. She wore Cool Water because she thought it was classy haha. It's another one of those cues that makes me remember really small details like the fact that her wall was covered in her drawings of Manga characters and she had Hello Kitty bed sheets. 4. Every time I read the word CON anywhere it immediately reminds me of the very first graffiti related t-shirt I ever saw. It was a white CONART t-shirt and the logo was printed to look like a pencil sketch on the back and on the front were these three hood characters sketched and they all were holding 9-mm's. The Pontiac looked just like this one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ginger Bread Man Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 for me memories are triggered via smells. certain times of my life are closer associated with distinct smells and the memories are vivid and detailed beginning with what time of day and ending with what i wearing. in short everyone experiences this.

grove rat Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 outkast - 'the way you move' & 'hey ya' when i was in the navy i was stationed in connecticut for my sub school and mechanics school. they only had like 2 radio stations with good reception and those two songs came out right during that time. those radio stations would play those 2 songs all day long the smell of popcorn shrimp or coconut shrimp it reminds me of being on a submarine. they use a chemical called amine that 'cleans' the air and it has a very distinctive smell, to me it smells like pop/coco shrimp but everybody says it smells like something else. sometimes i will be digging through my old stuff and i will open a book or something that i had on the boat and that smell will hit me the song 'rich girl' by gwen stefani i was hanging out with a friend of mine and we went to this chicks house that he had met on new years eve to party and when we got there it was just her...none of her friends showed up. awkward. she played that song at least 10 times that night. i ended up smashing, that was some good pussy now that i think of it... i am sure some more will pop into my head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShortFuse Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I dont listen to some music a lot because it triggers too many memories, not bad, just old ones I dont want to think about anymore. Tropical Skittles remind me of sex in my old truck because Id always stop by a gas station to get condoms and buy Tropical Skittles with them so it wasnt my only purchase. Also I never liked the girl to think that its all I wanted out of the night...so skittles was my cover ahahhah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
