A song can drop you back into the summer you were 14 in three seconds. Make memories worth soundtracking.

Music attaches itself to whatever was happening while you listened, and then holds on to it for decades. That is why a track from years ago returns a whole period rather than a single scene, complete with the weather and the people. Nobody gets to choose which songs take on that job.

Since the pairing happens by itself, the part you influence is what is going on while the music plays. Put the good songs on during things you would want back, the drives, the work, the evenings with people. The filing takes care of itself.
