Some Songs Reach our Hearts


Some songs reach our hearts in a special way. What makes one song unforgettable? Songs are the strongest memories we have - the best songs link between the words and the emotions of the melodies to bring the clearest and most powerful images of all.

The best songs have the strongest images. We all have songs that transport us to different times and places. The first time I heard Don McLeans American Pie was dancing in a big circle at a student party; some of the Motown classics; dancing to the BeeGees Massachusetts and Gotta Get a Message to You; Maggie May or Brown Sugar…more, so many memories of younger days..
