Music and Memories: The Remakes That Still Make Us Smile.

Even newer renditions of some of our favorite songs can reinvigorate the soundtracks of our lives.

By Jeff Tomik, AARP Experience Counts. Published January 07, 2024.

Everyone has a personal relationship with their playlists, and for me, it’s impossible to separate music and family. My mom would sing Red Grammer songs to me when I was a baby. I went to my first concert when I was 7, dancing in the aisles and singing every word to Genesis. From there, the soundtrack of my life just kept building. I’ve even convinced myself that Leon Bridges is already my 3-month-old daughter’s favorite artist, as his soothing voice seems to always put her at ease.

Music’s intimate relationship with our memories has long been studied, and the results show that songs have the ability to evoke strong emotions that may be forever intertwined with a specific experience.
