So.. I'm driving home yesterday evening and a song, The Closest Thing to heaven by the Kane Gang comes on the radio.. Had to pull in to deal with the wonderful memories it evoked. What does it for you? A song... A smell.. A taste..? |

"Blue Monday" New Order brings me right back to the Warwick in Salthill Thursday nights in my college days
The smell of pipe smoke (not experienced in years now) reminds me of my father

There's a place in kildare just off the old N7 called Cherryville.
Everytime I used to drive on the road it used to bring back amazing memories....A long time ago I was officially declared dead in a field there. |

"Songs
Smells
Noises
Even occasionally feelings bring me back to the past.

I didn't grow up in ireland so certain noises at night or on holiday will bring me back to my childhood. Crickets, birds, thunder, etc. |

I'm very much a smell and sound person:
Smell of the sea and call of the seagulls = living in dun laoghaire
Smell of the guinness brewery = living in D8
Sound of tram and tracks = being in my hometown
Smell of goose and pine = Christmas
Crickets and sweet smell of stone pine = Italy, Croatia, France
I could go on forever but I don't want yo bore the shit out of anyone.
So just one last one, one I really dislike:
Sweet smell of damp - yuk! = living in a basement (never again) |

Smell is probably the most underestimated sense we have because it acts most of the time in the background, yet it is so powerful and much more important to our psyche than we think. |
