Do you know what I love about music? I love stumbling upon an old favourite and listening to the melody unfold and instantly reconnecting with that one memory that you associate with that one song and just relishing in re-living that one moment in time. I love how music is so deeply associated with memory and emotion and how it can completely alter your mood. Music is one of the most powerful sensory stimulations available to man.
