Way back when, during my high school days, I thought the coolest thing would be to have a black Saab 900 turbo. The height of these daydreams always occurred during the summer months, when I envisioned myself driving my ultimate car through the seaside enclave en route to my favorite beach, music pumping from the car's cassette player (it was the 80's, if you must know).I was at work the other day and a song came over my Pandora station and it immediately transported me -- in an instant I was behind the wheel of my 80's dream car, the glimpse of the ocean just over the next hill, the stately mansions passing by, the caw of the gulls and the tangy smell of bright sunshine and salty spray. For a minute, I forgot about this cold and snowy winter, forgot about my dreaded day job, and forgot about the burden of knowledge that comes from experience as we grow up. For a short period of time, I remembered the joy and optimism and possibility I felt in dreaming about that car, about that beach, and summer in general.
Do you have a soundtrack that transports you? Inquiring minds want to know!
