Amanda Talar is "a (late) twenty-something who can’t help but wonder about the mysteries of dating, people and life in general." She seems like she is a really friendly open minded girl who likes to express her feelings on here with her blogging. Today I read her article about songs that make you reflect on a past memory or people in your life. She wrote "It often makes me wonder what makes a moment something that will stick with us for years to come, possibly even for the rest of our lives? I find myself remembering the smallest details of a memory that can come rushing back to me instantly". This article really grabbed my attention because I always find my self either scrolling through my ipod or listening to the car radio and coming across a song that really brings me back to a time in my life where it reminds me a good memory or a person that had really put an impact in my life. Agreeing with her on her question "What is it that makes us remember certain moments of our lives?". Thinking about it now it's crazy how much songs will go about and describe just what your feeling at that point in your life or bring you back to a certain time. She describes this feeling just like a dream that you awoke out of and simply think to yourself "Wow. That was crazy. I need to remember this dream later this morning. And, you wake up maybe hours later and for the life of you — have no idea what the dream was about. So, maybe we often remember the moments we don’t realize are actually moments at the time?" As I now listen to the radio I always will keep track of the lyrics in each song and relate to them in each point of my life now just as Amanda has and making me realize what the song is really saying and how it really can bring back the good old times in your life.
