Songs and smells will bring you back to a moment in time more than anything else. It's amazing how much can be conjured with a few notes of a song or a solitary whiff of a room. A song you didn't even pay attention to at the time, a place that you didn't even know had a particular smell. I wonder what will someday bring back Dex and our few months together. Maybe the sound of Dido's voice. Maybe the scent of the Aveda shampoo I've been using all summer. Emily Giffin
About This Quote

Amongst the many things that make us human, music and smell are two of the most powerful. Our emotions are strongly tied to memory, and music and smell can often trigger those memories. We associate certain music with certain places, certain smells with certain memories. And when we're far away from those places or those memories, or when we can't remember them, sometimes music will bring it all back.
