Whats your song?

Can music really define a person?


Imagine..life having a theme song. Imagine everyone had a theme song or some style of music to define them. As if they had a dog tag collar which signifies who you are by music.

In reality though, it is similar.
For instance, music can express peoples feelings, moods, memories, etc.
But can it define who you are?

Lets take imaginary person, Stella. She is interested in going to the beach, adventures, learning etc. She listens to different music but particularly Rock, Pop and Alternative music..such as Jack Johnson, Sia, etc. Every time her friend Casey listens to Jack Johnson's 'You and Your Heart' it reminds her of Stella...

That example shows how music can signify or determine who people are...
Music is a powerful source of story telling...every song i listen to, i listen to so much that i either grasp the story the artist is trying to convey or match it to an experience I've had...

Do you know a song that reminds you of someone or an experience?
Do you think music can signify someone?
