(Ok, this Kinda, indirectly, follows on from Ali*'s 'Peaches' topic...) I have this theory where favourite songs don't have that 'ahh that takes me back' feel to them, as you listen to them so often, they no longer transport you back to a chosen moment in the past, whereas other songs immediatly DO have this effect. For example, for me Ben E King ,'Stand By Me' immediatly sends me back to my final day of school, whereas one of my all time favourite tunes, say, 'Not Dark Yet' by Dylan, really has no...err...meaning?!
Anyone agree/disagree/care to share an example of songs and where they take you?
Please excuse my rambling.
