There are songs, if I happen to catch them on radio or the web, that can instantly transport me back to another time. Place doesn't much matter since the time machine remains all in my head to begin with. Random access memory via grey matter, all byway of music and lyrics. For instance, I can find myself back in the
90s whenever I come across Santana's
Smooth (or other tracks from that album) -- all of this care of my wife because she brought the CD home one day.
Sci-fi Fanatic has been sending me back to the
80s recently with his
thoughtful music posts (Cutting Crew's
Been In Love Before will do that to me). Just so I don't forget surviving the
70s, Macca and Wings'
Band on the Run (along with
How Long by Ace) will not let me leave behind that troublesome span. And if pressed, I will say it is Coldplay's
Viva La Vida that does it for the
00s.
