Q119 songs

I keep making these posts because I keep marveling about how songs make up playlists that remind me of a particular time. I keep these playlists as a sensory journal. Every time I set foot in a high school, I remember high school. There is a smell they all share: sweat and industrial cleaner and high fructose syrup maybe. I think often how I store my memories in my senses and I am logging what I can for writing about later. These are the songs I’ve sung along to in my car or listened to on my late nights of writing or thumbs upped on my Pandora at the coffee shop. These are the songs of 36-year-old Holly.
