Music imprints itself on the brain deeper than any other human experience. Music evokes emotion and emotion can bring with it memory. – Oliver Sacks
Alive Inside: A Story of Music and Memory | 2014
Sometimes, I find myself lost in the musical flashbacks.
Morning radio in the kitchen while my mom made breakfast, where occasional crepes were the crown jewels. Me glued to the hypnotising music videos on MTV or Bravo TV and recording them on a DVR – Haddaway, Enigma, Metallica, you name it. Local dance floors that pulsed through the night till my feet threatened to walk home without me. And those late-night solo sessions with the 90s radio stations – just me, the hit lists, and the night programming. Here’s the thing: all these ordinary moments have rich, wild stories just sleeping under the surface. They spring to life when one of these familiar melodies sneaks up on me and hits me with a flashback of a moment. A perfect fleeting blip where sound met experience and turned it into nostalgia. It could be anything – a vibe, people, places, or just a feeling. My music collection isn’t just a playlist – it’s this living, breathing archive of all my moments: the victories, the vulnerabilities, the growing pains. All the things that shaped me.

Just grab your headphones, crank up the volume, and let the music be your guide. And hey, while you’re at it – could your own musical journey be waiting to be rediscovered? I bet you also have forgotten gems of moments hiding in your playlists. What better way to rediscover yourself than by letting your music guide you?
