I’ve been listening to some early 90’s rock, pop and rap today. Somehow I feel like I feel be embarrassed about admitting that but you know what? I don’t. It’s bringing me back to being a teenager. Are you curious about the songs? Yeah, I thought so. I’ve been flipping between “Tootsie roll”, “I’m too sexy” and “Little things”. I’ve even managed to squeeze in a little “U can’t touch this” and “Linger”.
It just seems so strange to me, how a song can instantly take you back to a certain time in your life. I don’t mean just in general but like an exact moment. When I hear “Tootsie roll”, I suddenly picture myself driving up and down “The strip” (main drag in my hometown) with my sister Nikki and my friends Melissa and Jess, blasting it so loud that my ears hurt.
The same thing happens when I hear “Adore” by Smashing Pumpkins. I can remember the exact moment when I heard this song for the first time, which was in Calgary, Alberta when I met Jo (my husband) for the first time. It’s one of those songs that I instantly loved (and still love to this day). We’d just moved into a new house in the Country Hills area and after an exhausting day of loading, moving, unloading and unpacking.. we decided to listen to the radio (the cable wasn’t hooked up yet). Adore was the first song we heard that day.
Does this happen to you too? Surely I’m not the only one it happens to!
