What is it about music in particular that can take you back to a place in life?

Not even just a particular place, just a space in time.
The strongest time this seems to apply to me is like my last year of high school when I started driving and all, 2010ish.
It's wild how just hearing a song I listened to back then can make me feel all of that all over again.

Good way to relate to things in past.

I worked in a music store during high school so there's a loooot of late 90s music that I had to listen to on repeat at work - anytime I hear it now I get flashbacks. We used to start our shifts in the spring/summer of 99 with Citizen King's "Better Days". As if I had real troubles then.

I just put it off on how the brain works, but it really is fascinating.

Some people's memory is triggered by visual senses. Some by smells. Some by audio.
Think about the smells associated to the first day back at school. Music and visual keys can trigger strong memories the same way. Both positive and negative.

Every time I hear You Should Be Dancing by the Bee Gees I think about partying and cruising through the Iranian desert in the summer of 76 before the Ayatollahs took over.

I can hear Crime Mob, Paul Wall, Mike Jones, etc blaring from some ratty stereos in the parking lot now.

I think it's fascinating and wonderful how music can help people with Alzheimer's and other dementias. Even people who have completely lost the ability to talk will perk up and sing along to songs they recognize.

If you look in the youtube comments on old music, there is almost always some comment like "dad and I used to listen to this when I was young and he died a few years later. I miss you dad." Always make me

Totally agree
But there is nothing like smell-triggered memories, and there is a biological explanation for it (let me sniff my college psychology book to remember what it is). Be right back.

Music is a soundtrack to a memory.

I remember learning about this in freshman year psychology lecture. It has to do with the fact that sounds are your second most sensitive and memorable sensory perception.
Olfactory is most.

Starry Eyed Surprise in college, when my new at the time girlfriend came over with stunning blue eyes and we spent the weekend screwing like rabbits listening to that song on repeat.
