Minds have this awesome capacity to hear a sound and connect it to some far off memory.

Purpose and Audience
For any musical lover, dreamer, or just someone looking for something new. This was a great article about how music helps to shape our lives, whether we see it or not.

Structure
I really enjoyed how Hey Jude transported you back to a specific place and time and how it felt as if it could've happened just yesterday. You went from mentioning the song, to letting your reader catch a glimpse of your past. That was vivid for me.

Style
I am an avid music lover as well. I think a lot of people forget just how powerful music can be, how some songs remain with us decades later and can still cause a reaction when you haven't heard it in a long time. You touched upon all of that and really made this piece a good read.

Personal Response
I admit I didn't know the James song, but that didn't matter. You managed to remind me of many songs shaped my life so far, and I'm positive plenty more will come around that will leave their mark as well. I'm glad you have such great memories to hang onto. And I agree with you, these are the moments we should hang onto and look back upon. I cannot remember the last time I felt carefree, but I imagine as you pointed out, one song could propel me back to another place and time and remind me of what that feels like all over again. Nice job!
