Empathy for Lyrics

Here’s a little something to think about; do you ever notice that no matter what kind of emotional state your life is in, the music you listen to always relates to your situation? Furthermore, when you do find that music that relates, you can't help but listen to it over and over again? My friend introduced me to a new artist, Colbie Caillet, and the lyrics in her music have been relating to my everyday life lately. While driving in my car, or just listening to it on the computer, I can't help but just replay her music. Maybe it's because I feel like someone else is going through the same problems or situations that I am, and I find a little comfort in that I guess.

Also do you ever notice that if you hear a song you haven't heard in awhile, you instantly think of a particular time or place in your life? I wonder why we relate certain things back to past memories. I think it’s interesting to look back on how music and lyrics have an impact and relation in my life, and I also wanted to see if anyone else feels the same way as I do.
