When I was at Goodwill earlier, I thought I heard a familiar song. I was in the line to check out when I first became aware of the song that sounded like I had heard it before. I waited for a certain part to know if it was the song I was thinking about. It was.

You ever do that? You hear a song that sounds vaguely familiar, but you can’t be sure until there’s a certain phrase or riff or melody that solidifies it for you.

In my case, it was a song called Set Adrift on Memory Bliss by PM Dawn. That actual song might not be one you recognize, but there is a sample from an 80s song that a lot more people know. The sample is from the song True by Spandau Ballet.

The point is that it was a moment where I recognized the song and thought about how it had been a long time since I last heard it. It takes me back to the good old 90s when life seemed a lot simpler and when there was way less technology demanding our attention.

I like those moments. It’s like for a split second I can pretend that I am 19 again and the whole wide world is still ahead of me. And the song is not bad, either.
