Is it normal memories trapped in music?

So I was at home and some old Halo CE ost was playing. I remembered exactly the first time I played it when I was a kid. The music was awesome, and the music is the only thing that triggers some of my memories with my brother. They make me really happy as I no longer get to see him for more than a week every year. Is it normal the music brings my memories of him that nothing else can?

    Normal I get it with music to games, When I hear a specific song it triggers what I was doing in the game at the time, Really amazing. Perfectly normal.

    Sensory memory or something like that that it's called. I know of a test where they where scanning the guy's brain, and they made him listen to a song, and then sing it from memory without the song playing; the same parts of the brain lit up from bot listening to the song, and remembering it.

    I just recently found and downloaded an old Tekken soundtrack and it brought me way back... It's amazing how that works.

    I'm the same. Though some songs bring back bad memories or weird memories so I don't listen to those songs anymore. Then when I tell my friends that I don't want to listen to certain songs they always ask me why, but I never tell them.

    Yeah, I do this too, specifically with books. When I think of a book I can think of a band or songs that I listened to non-stop when I was reading that book:)

  • I feel the same way. I love it when I hear an old song. It gives me a good flashback.
