I like music …<\/p>\n
I like the lyrics … their meaning … their poetry.<\/p>\n
I like the way the beat makes me feel … breathe … move.<\/p>\n
And I listen to a lot of music … all types.<\/p>\n
But every now and then …<\/p>\n
A song burns such a connection with a point in my life, a place in time …<\/p>\n
That as soon as I hear that song … I’m right back there.<\/p>\n
That happened to me today …<\/p>\n
And instead of being in my car heading down the street …<\/p>\n
I was back in undergrad … reliving … a very cool time in my life. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Isn’t that what makes music so great?<\/p>\n
Any one song can just so touch you.<\/p>\n
Transport you … to another place.<\/p>\n
And the song in question ??<\/p>\n
Heat of the Moment<\/i> – Asia.<\/p>\n
And for a bit more of Amy-trivia … just off the top of my head, the following songs also send me tripping down memory lane: Crazy for You<\/i> – Madonna; Truly, Madly, Deeply<\/i> – Savage Garden; Pressure<\/i> – Billy Joel; Do Waa Diddy<\/i> – Manford Mann. (Aaaah, technically, I really don’t remember much associated with Do Waa Diddy<\/i> … as it always seems to be belted out while under the influence of extreme quantities of alcohol … but whenever I hear the song … my body automatically responds with a smile.)<\/p>\n
Yeah, I know … you’re saying the same thing Shaft said when I mentioned this list to him …<\/p>\n
“Geezuz Amy, you listen to that crap … you really have<\/i> been a girl your entire life !<\/i>”<\/p>\n
