What makes you remember parts of your past. when you hear a melody, or hum a tune, do you recall your past? Is this tied to heritage and to cultural memory? If a melody is ancient, could it be stronger in it’s call to our inner minds.? Can’t say for sure, but sometimes when I am Listening to music or singing a song. - quickly it leads to Remembering past experiences. Do you find this to happen with your melody experiences?
