Memory Triggers Day Three



Day Three - Sound

The word "bejesus"
Floyd's piano playing
Creaky stairs at my house
Waves crashing
"Strange Disease" - Prozzak
Music in general, especially "Barely Breathing" - Duncan Sheik, "High" - The Lighthouse Family, "Bittersweet Symphony" - The Verve, and "Belief" - Gavin DeGraw.
The Wave
K-100 before it got stupid
Stick shift in reverse
Crickets
Jazzy's collar jingle
Stick shift stalling
Splashing
Rocks skipping
Rocks plunking in the water
Skis carving, especially on ice
KKKS laughing
Andrew's resonating lows
Andrew's voice
Mitch saying "Prag" and "P-rag"
Keel's storytelling and the almost tangible, hearable tension while we listen
Thunder
Wind
Sax, clarinet, acoustic guitar, drums
Andrew playing piano
Band
Pouring rain


Sounds are a little less important to me than images and smells. They don't really take me back to certain events when I hear them. It's more like I identify with them when I hear them, and they mean something to me. However, some of them are directly related to memories I have.

In general, hearing a lot of these sounds just makes me feel at peace, either with the world, or with myself.
