I am looking for EVERYONE’S contributions for a project of mine. You don’t have to know a lot about music, you don’t have to write well, this is something for everyone.
You know how when you hear certain songs, you’re taken back to a different time in your life? Like every time you hear Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” you think about the night you and your college buddies drank too many shots of Surfers of Acid and played too much air guitar?!! Or how Bette Midler’s “Wind Beneath My Wings” reminds you of helping Grandma clean the house?!
We all have these musical memories. There is a link in the brain between music familiarity, memories and emotions. I’m asking for you to email me YOUR musical memory. It can be heartwarming, funny—anything really. Just start it out with the name of the song and the artist, then tell me your story that goes along with it. By emailing me your musical memory you give me permission to use it for possible publication (so if you don’t want you real name used, let me know!).
I’m going to be working out some sort of incentive for this, too — it will have something to do with Visa gift cards and/or mix cd’s.
Thanks!!! 🙂
