Just yesterday I heard the shop music from Ocarina of Time on a YouTube video. I immediately recalled the shop, the surrounding buildings and a few of the platforming paths. I also recalled a memory of playing the game with a friend at the time.

For me, all music functions in this way. Certain songs, even extremely upbeat songs, can cause me to tear up if I listen for too long. I can also listen to songs I associate with successful projects to increase my desire to start a project.

Truly fascinating.
