It's funny how songs can take you on a journey into your past. One tiny snippet will instantly transport you through time and space until you are 17 years old again trying to tape the song off the radio, madly writing down the lyrics so you will be able to accurately sing them next time you are in your car. Or was that just me...
Every single time I hear the song Starlight by Muse, I am instantly on the E2 Bus in London on my way to work. I've always been a bit of a Muse fan, and that summer in London I basically only had one CD to play on my old school walkman. So Muse (and particularly Starlight) was a bit overplayed. It's five years later and I recently heard the song in the trailer for the movie Crazy, Stupid, Love - and once again I am on that bus, two seats from the front, dying of heat exhaustion (stupid summer heatwave) and pressing repeat over and over again.
Which songs are particularly effective in inducing a flashback for you guys?
