@Sandra – Some memories are tough to relive in your mind. When those come to me, I make sure to not let my thoughts focus on them, but rather on the good memories that are so wonderful to have again.

@Stephen – When songs like that get stuck in your head, you have to remedy them by finding something utterly blissful, or silly even, to overwrite the sad song.

@LP Blogger – Thanks. That song was an amazing find, and at the perfect time for me.

Indeed, it’s actually kind of funny to realize–just the day before yesterday, as a matter of fact–how music can shape my mood. Listening to Pandora.com Monday night, I heard an old–not exactly ancient, however–Tom Petty song, “Face in the Crowd,” which always struck me as an exceedingly sad song.

I’m not quite sure why, perhaps only because it refers back to a sad time when I was much younger (lost love and all that happy horseshit).

I woke up the next morning in a deflated mood, with a noticeably long face. And it wasn’t till mid-morning that I realized that “Face in the Crowd” was playing in my head over and over and over again. After realizing that, I laughed and it went away.

Great playlist! I love the way you shared the actual music. Recently, I wrote an article based on a Pen On Fire writing prompt “Teaching Your Pen To Listen” at http://tiny.cc/rZnFM. That was a tough assignment because each musical memory led to so many other memories.
