Is there one song that takes you right back to a moment of your first kiss, a school dance, summer vacation or driving with friends? Share the song and the memory it unlocks every time.

I have quite a few songs that take back but I'm going with the one that popped up right away. David Bowie's Let's Dance. It reminds me of a time when I was Greece during the summer. I think it was either 85 or 86. I was driving with my dad's older cousin in his BMW convertible and the song came on the radio. Whenever I hear the song it always brings me back. Never fails.
 
I love Let's Dance. That sounds like a great time! Greece during the summers? You were lucky! Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper brings me right back to a summer night in 1984. I was riding in the back of my friend’s car with the windows down. That song came on the radio and none of us said a word. We just let it play while the sky turned dark and the streetlights flickered on. I can still feel the breeze and hear the soft hum of the tires on the road. It was one of those quiet moments you never forget.
 
I Ran by A Flock of Seagulls. It takes me back to the roller rink. Every other Saturday night I was there and skating to it. It was such a vibe back then.
 
Here I Go Again by Whitesnake. Reminds me of my old garage and trying to fix my car with that blasting in the background. Good times. Frustrating times too.
