Ever
since humankind has existed, there has been music in our lives, created to
worship, memorize procedures, commemorate an important historical event or just
to have fun.
I’m sure
we all have listened to some songs which bring back memories into our minds.
Among
those songs, I’m going to pick one or two and tell you about what event in my
life they remind me of.
The
first song I’m going to mention is Michelle by Gerad Lenorman. It is a French
song released in 1978 (now you can calculate my age, hahaha) and what this song
reminds me of is my first year studying French at school. I went to a private
school and in those days, you couldn’t choose which language you wanted to
learn. We had to take both English and French. Since I had never had French
lessons before I found it fascinating. I loved French then and I still do. I
hope, one day, I manage to speak it fluently and be able to go to Paris and
speak to people there as if I were a native speaker, oooh oui, oui, oui. C’est
le plan.
Another
song which brings back memories - not that happy - is “All star” by Smash
Mouth. Those were the years I lived in the States, and in the late 90’s, Smash
Mouth released this song. I remember I used to go to the lake near the town I
was living, to have some time on my own. I felt homesick and lonely although I
wasn’t alone. I missed my mountains in Chile – just like Heidi, “Girl of the
Alps” hahaha. The thing is that, somehow, this song made me laugh and cheered
me up.

those memories
