Does anyone else..??

Does anyone else associates everything with everyting? Like… when I’m listening to a song and doing something at the same time, the next time I hear that song I’ll remeber what I did. The same happens with smells. For example, everytime I smell passion fruit I think Kelly Clarkson, and when I listen to The Scientist - Funadvice :P I’m not the only one, am I?

Answer #1

no I do that sometimes to.

Answer #2

It’s a natural brain function. It’s generally reffered to as ‘association’. It’s a mild form of synisthesia. ‘Synisthesia ‘ is when two of your senses sort of inter-twine and act together. Some people, in very rare cases, have this happening all the time. Yet it’s stronger, to where they can actually taste a flavor when someone’s name is said or they listen to a certain song.

I like it, I mean, I listened to an album called, ‘Turn on the bright lights’ by Interpol while I was in Chicago visiting family. Well that trip turned out to be one of the most amazing times I’ve ever had and every time I want to re-live those moments in a small way… I pop in my favorite Interpol album and sit back.

I suggest you take advantage of this ability ; )
