what are song(s) that you associate with a time, place, memory?

any ozzy osbourne song, reminds me of when i was little and in the car with my dad and he'd put his music on

i just associate music based on what i was into when [thing] happened, so this might be kinda boring??

my favourite song when i realised i was a map was the night in question by tv girl, so thats a pretty big association
mr brightside associated with my very very unrequited love for a straight boy in high school
"i just sighed. i just sighed, just so you know" by los campesinos completely sends me back to getting outed as trans with how much i listened to it at the time

The entire "Pretty Hate Machine" album from Nine Inch Nails is associated with my last year of high school, and attached to a hot but abusive relationship I was in.

The Eagle's "Hotel California" is associated with me being stuck in the psych ward for a bit, it constantly played on the radio (one of the very few sources of entertainment) and it felt like the universe giving me a fuck you.

Somehow I do not hate any of these songs or feel too bad about anything while listening to them, thankfully, because it's good music.
