Riding my motorbike back from the farm to the village this morning for breakfast, i passed a cat ran over on the side of the road.

Immediately my brain tuned into The Doors live intro to Break On Through

Dead cat, dead rat
Can't you see what they were at?
Fat cat in a top hat
Thinks he's an aristocrat
Thinks he can kill and slaughter
Thinks he can shoot my daughter

Do other posters often involuntarily link real life experiences to songs they have heard, and yet perhaps not listened to for years? And yet there they are, way back deep into the brain.

If you're not listening to this with severely elevated volume then you're doing the song (and yourself) a huge disservice.  The Pretenders with Room Full Of Mirrors off of their '86 Get Close album.

Associative thought process.  Just another way of ordering experience.  Happens all the time.  With music it usually works in the reverse for me.  Oftentimes when I hear a song I get not only visual memory flashes but the feeling of that time is recreated, too.  Michelle from the Beatles '65 Rubber Soul album always brings me back to Christmas in Germany in '66 with the quaint lit candles on the Christmas trees, which were still legal back then.

Rita Coolidge, romantically involved with Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, Joe Cocker, and Leon Russell before finally getting hitched with Kris Kristofferson in '73, covering Neil Young's I Believe in You off of her '71 self-titled debut.

bannork, I've been holding out on posting Emmylou as I was waiting for you.  I just got another year older, LOL.

Emmylou Harris with Linda Ronstadt on backing vocals performing the Gram Parson's penned Ooh Las Vegas off of her '75 Elite Hotel album.

Jessi Colter, the final wife of Waylon Jennings, with the title track of an album I had bought back then, the '78 That's The Way A Cowboy Rocks And Rolls LP.

I guess this was a major hit in the U.K. back in '69.  Not my cup of tea but I don't want to be too partial to my tastes in offering music up.  Sue Glover and Sunny Leslie with Brotherhood Of Man on United We Stand.
