    Simple as that... post the songs that bring back memories crystal clear.

    For me it's 'Semi-Charmed Life'
    I know the song is about crystal meth, and I was not (nor am I now) a crystal queen at 7 years old, but this song reminds me of growing up in Arizona.
    I can picture my house, my school, my friends... everything perfectly when I hear this song.

    I couldn't find the official video of it.
    So I had to use some usermade video with clips from what looks like a really cheap version of WoW.
    It really bothers me... :/

    First video game I ever played, the first game I beat on my own, and the memories flood back every time I hear this song. Me, before I even started school, sitting in my mom's lap on a Sunday afternoon with my hand on the controller, getting the shit scared out of my when Bowser's cave rose out of the ocean.

    The Way - Fastball, probably the first song I ever heard live ever at my first concert back in the 90s. Fastball Opening for Sugar Ray and Goo Goo Dolls. This song just reminds me of going to the beach and summer and stuff. I miss the 90s...

    I'm 39. 99% of song on my iPod make me nostalgic for something or other. :slight_smile:

    Here's an odd one. The song is "Listen" by Tears for Fears. Every time I hear it, I flash back to one specific night. I've had a fun night at a pizza parlor in South San Francisco, and my parents are driving me home. It's actually very quiet on the ride back, but it's a happy (if a bit creepy) quiet. The quiet bit between 2:37 and 2:53 brings it back so clearly, I can feel the car seat, and see the streetlights swing by as we drive through the darkness.

    What's so weird about that? The song came out in 1985. The pizza parlor closed in 1982.

    Anything by Adam Ant, Duran Duran the older stuff or Sisters of Mercy. My brother and I would hang out for hours with our friends listening to records. They are the big black discs that you put on a turntable then place a needle on them :slight_smile:.
