Yeah. A lot of music takes me back to that trip especially, and most likely because it was an actual trip while road tripping. Probably just flashbacks. Was young in my 20's. Car had a great stereo and I was with good friends. Music was just on and I was so hyper focused on pretending everything was normal while the scenery and sounds were blowing my mind. This song triggers those memories as well. Probably a good dozen songs will put me right back in the backseat of that little shitcan car.

People put so much value on things, material things, but it's the experiences that mean the most and are most fondly remembered, in my opinion any way. Moments like that trip you mention, and the one for me in this post...casting back to them brings almost the same feelings as the trip itself. Wondrous, and how cool is music!
I've been building a playlist for when I'm zoning out inside the digital art world. A song will make me think of what I was working on and where I was at the time. Helps me concentrate if I find a good one and have it play continuously. Keeps me in one space for awhile I guess. And just in general helps drown out the bad memories that like to come punch me in the brain as well. Brings back the good ones, shits out the rest. You damn right it's cool.
I was commenting with someone last week about this, music on loop. I do it a lot when I'm writing (not Hive writing, I mean my book) as it can keep me in the right mood to write a particular passage, just like you say, take me back to a feeling or emotion and hold me there. It's a powerful tool.
