What about you? Any songs bring up movie scenes in your head? Or remind you of certain times or places in your life? An example I can think of for that is The Best of the Doors album and a CCR Greatest Hits album. I listened to them on repeat for the time I took me to read Koko by Peter Straub. I read it one summer while at my grandparent’s house in Texas. When I hear the Doors & CCR now I flashback to that book – scenes from it, smells of Granny’s house, being in the pool reading, etc.
