Does anyone ever find they associate songs with people? I do. I already know some others do because you always hear of people who were in a relationship having a song that makes them think of the person. However I am referring to those aside from the deep romantically emotional relationship connects for the most part here.
I think it must be natural to have a mental connection between a song and person for is not music emotional. The same way a picture can make people think of an event or a smell; music works in a similar pattern. Music can remind people of an event that is connected to it like a obon song to an obon or gongs to a festival or performance that featured them.
I am curious about mental connections that are not tied to a specific memory though. For instance I always think of an elementary school friend when I hear Santana's "Maria Maria" or how I think of a certain teacher I had when I hear No Doubt's "Spiderwebs" however I have no idea why. Maybe there is a memory at the core of these connects that I don't really remember now yet I still wonder how many others have these seemingly arbitrary connections.
