This is why my mixtapes are in the dust corners of my closet never to be thrown out. My ipod has replaced these tapes but the effect is the same.
Besides music, smell can turn me inside out. I have stopped dead in my tracks when a certain smell has hit me I instantly frozen by a flashback of memories.

But I can honestly say that these same things can bring back of a flood of memories that warm my soul. reminding me of a moment in time that the sun really did shine on me.

Man, this paragraph:

“because life is beautiful and sad and full of songs and memories that can make you cry. because i am an inveterate muser, a melancholy baby.”

Is just it.

Wow, once again you describe so well a familiar feeling. When I was traveling and moving a lot I would spend a few weeks a year with my mom. Invariably I’d find myself in her basement, pouring through old things…photos and “stuff” from my youth and just wallow there for hours. It was strangely comforting, though strangely sad.
