This morning listening to old songs from Bon Jovi whilst in the shower I suddenly saw myself back in my high school. I revisited the class room and the long corridors... I saw Taciane, a class mate of mine who adored Bon Jovi - or fancied the pant off him I should say - and who introduced me to his songs.
Music seems to have this magic effect; it take us to places and scenarios bringing memories of happy - and unfortunately sometimes sad - moments of our lives.

Mariah Carey (specially the song; Hero) always brings on memories of when I was 18 years old and managed to overcome a depression that had taken over my life for over two years. I was introduced to Mariah's world by a angel in my life - a friend named Marcello Mike. Marcello literally saved my life and it was when I listened to Hero by MCarey that I realised I should get up and change my life...

Hey Jude, Beatles, always reminds of my dearest mother (who died when I was 8 years old). She taught me to sing this song and we used to sing this song together when I was a child. ...




Oasis, Wonderwall, sends me back to 1998, when my best mate, Marcia, bought me tickets to watch their concert in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Marcia is a huge fan of Oasis and every time I hear them memories of our friendship comes alive and brights up my day wherever I am.




And so many other songs... Music has this magic power of bring on memories of people, placesm situations...
What about you? what Music has impacted your life?
