When I hear a song from my past on the radio, like today when they played "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", it somehow distills the culmination of my longings and yearnings to break out of my usual routine. (I'm certainly the master of setting up routines. Mastered it in my teens.)
When I hear these songs on the radio, it's not even a conscious thought process - it's more a feeling that runs through me - of wanting to break away - hit the road and keep on going!
So much of life is filled with marking time. Maybe what happens is that the song makes a direct connection to something in my brain and forcibly pulls me into the present, the Now, to use Eckhart Tolle speak. Goodness knows that I often need to be pulled into the Now!
