Music and Memories

Post by AliW »

Does anyone else have visceral reactions to some songs? I sometimes feel myself crawling out of my own skin when I hear certain songs and artists. I'm sure I have memories tied up with them that I haven't yet explored but I know, deep down, that something happened.

Hey AliW,
Yes definitely church music and hymns i do. Hearing singing in a church gets me like that also! Never really knew why until later on! I thought it was just me.
Thanks for sharing that.

Hey AliW
Yeah I understand that for sure.
I’ve come to know there’s a reason why things happen like that. Takes time I guess.

Hoping for peace.

Hi all,

Agreed, I definitely do 1) for some hymns if they speak about closeness to God amidst suffering, or 2) songs that are more rich with underlying meaning or honestly about struggles (some of Raleigh Ritchie, Mike Posner, Daughter, etc.). So I can relate to both and they would be quite eclectic/varied.
