The Waif's - Bridal Train, jolted memories of a major life-change for me. Fanciful melody, poignant lyrics, along with video that amazingly recaptures scenes of a journey from Australia to America...First, Mom and I boarded an ocean liner in Sydney Harbour rode the wavy Pacific to the Golden Gate and San Francisco. Next, we boarded a train east to Buffalo, NY. The Waif's video and music captured magic and mystery of a past era. What's your impression?
Music and images jolted memories to life! Interestingly, the brain remembers things by categorizing them. It could be a smell or body position such as kneeling that stirs it from your brain's hippocampus and neocortex. You might be interested to know "when the brain recollects something, these areas of your brain talk in sync to generate 'a memory.' Your brain rewires several different connetors to a an event as you sleep...
The visual connectors helped recapture my early experience. "Memories are not so much retrieved," according to Robert Jourdain as they are re-created. Memory is actually imprecise and unreliable.
Thanks, Gavin, for introducing me to The Waifs. I'll be whistlin' the Bridal Train tune as I go about my work.
What tunes might create joy as you carry out daily work routines today?
