Memories are made of music

Listening to World Party I just downloaded from eMusic (finally jumped onboard after watching Bryce).
Brings back memories of the hot, sticky summer of 95 and Yo Mamma, a girl that I totally fell for. In retrospect, was probably mostly in love with her lifestyle (downtown bohemian in Pittsburgh/Oakland) and in lust with her long legs and very open mind. Not that that prevented me from leaving some long rambling late night messages on her voicemail.
Still great music though. Perfect for summer without AC.
People talk about smells as the great “reminders”. That has never been true for me. No doubt this is partiually caused by my terrible sense of smell, but music has always played that role for me. Certain songs, artists, albums, bring me straight back to periods of my life or even certain days, hours, or minutes.
Makes me wonder if in the soundtrack of my life, each friend has a song. Great friends must have multiple songs, depending on the period of the friendship or certain moods/moments with that friend. I can’t imagine boiling Mike, Ben, Cory, Ali, Charlie, Mark, or Kelly down to a single song. It is odd to me then that people do that with relationships. Is it because it takes longer to become friends than to fall in love?
