I guess there are some songs that make everybody remember a great day, a special person, an unique time, etc.. so, no matter how much time pass by, it lives with you . Even, you can feel or experience exactly the same emotions you felt when it happened. I mean, a real teleportation when the song just starts. Either good or bad moments come to you, I think of this as a no matching characteristic of music.
But, perhaps, a more powerful music's attribute is related to the creation of an imaginary circumstacce from nowhere. You just got amazed when you start to listen to the song as it has such a faculty to drag you into a scenery you barely thought about five minutes ago or in your entire life! This is what i call art. Oh, yeah.. when someone is so talented is able to give you a little fragment of him/her or a clear perspective of life from his/her own. One of my favorite examples for this is: Death cab for cutie-We looked like giants.
I hardly can tell you I have lived something alike to what it's described in this fantastic piece of music, but I do ensure you every time I listen to it I get the plot the band wants to transmit, just like a movie in my mind. A real exaltation.
