I listened to a CD that I haven’t listened to in some time. The last time I listened to it was when I suffered from anxiety. Now that I heard the songs once again, I literally got nauseous and had a stomach ache!
Does this happen to you too?
So do certain odors/aromas, or colors, or anything that was associated in your mind with a strong feeling or memorable happening, even if at the time of the occurrence you did not consciously notice those details. Why do they play happy music when you walk to the chuppah? Why do theatrical performances rely on certain types of music to set up the listeners on what to expect in the upcoming scene? Because in our minds certain kinds of tunes are already associated with certain kinds of events (or vice versa), or we want them to be.
Refuah sheleimah!
If you want to get to be able to listen to the tape again without getting sick, maybe when you are in an exceptionally good mood, with a good friend around, listen to one song, then stop and do something you really enjoy. Kind of retrain your brain in regard to this CD. Hatzlachah!
well sometimes i listen to a song and i get the same feelings as when i first heard it at a certain place..
like one time while doing a chesed i first listened to shabichi Yerushalayim and was in a very happy mmood, and now every time i hear it feel so happy like when i was doing the chesed
If I listen to music or something that I only listened to on a long car trip than it will bring back memories…no symptoms though, just memories.
maybe it was the music that made you anxious in the fist place? music has intence power and can greatly impact your emotions…
but yes music can bring back memories – again its very powerful.
Definitely, 100%. The reverse also happens – try to stick with music that brings back good memories for you.
ALWAYS. Theres also a cd that i listened to throughout my 1st siblings engagement period; i cant listen to that cd bcuz i get so nostalgic and feel like crying bcuz i miss that time so bad. it happens to me alot; listening to some music brings back good and bad memories for me!
Listening to Abie Rotenberg’s “Together” makes me cry.
What will become of all the memories…
Yes. I think the brain has a sort of file and the whole “setting” (even the unimportant stuff) gets filed away. I associate a certain CD with a book I was reading the first time I heard it.
I can’t speak out my emotions so easily with music since I’m deaf, but I play a ton of music and everyone likes what I play forreal!!! I might produce a cd one day.. I’m in the process of compiling songs that I’ve created for this!! I was born with a natural ability for it. I’ve been playing piano since I was 5 naturally!!! Started lessons at 8….
Deaf- selective hearing!!! I block out these emotions… When there’s a will Theres a way!!
Moshiach, that’s absolutely amazing. Hatzlacha rabba!!!!
There’s a song I used to hear being played in my sister’s kitchen before she passed away. I get all choked up when I hear that song now. You can build new associations with music, if you want to. I would not want to, as it’s one of the few things that keeps those days fresh in my mind.
Listening to the old Miami Boys Choir songs triggers so many memories!! As a child, i grew up with those tapes playing. When i listen to them now, i remember my wonderful blissful childhood!
Yes, but not in a negative way. Some of the older songs just remind me of a simpler time. However, the quality of the recordings and the simple arrangements compared to what the same artists produce today also remind me that in those times the community was not as well off as it is now and that we did not have access to the kind of technology that we use today.
Y ea it does learned it in psychology
i dont only have it with music. have it all the time when I pass certain places or when I go on certain highways.
Sometimes I am listening to a fine song and something happens and I think “aw shucks, now every time I hear this song I’m going to think of this.” It can be quite depressing. Really ruins the song.
you are forcing that connection to be stuck in your mind. Not every single time that I hear a song do I know where I listened to it the first time… just SOME songs.
