Smells, Songs and Memories...

Here is a thought - Do you notice how memories are always so much more vivid when they are associated with the senses? Like the smell of the frying fat at the local fish and chip shop you went to when you were a kid, or those strange smelling seed pods that you used to pick off the tree in the front yard to peg at your little brother.

For me it is songs or music that can make a memory, just this afternoon I started to hum the tune to an old Custard song. This reminded me of when I first met Ness way back when... then you think, shit, that was over eight years ago.

And now, because I heard the damn song at least a dozen times, everytime I hear Icehouse's "Electric Blue" I think about the cruise. The memories are great but getting that song stuck in your head can piss you off.

Here's one for absent friends...
