Using Music To Create Memories (Mere Mortals Episode #83 - Music)

Do you intentionally listen to a specific song/artist to recall a memorable time period? In this themed episode Juan and Kyrin discuss the topic of 'Music'. As usual the crew start of with some Mere Mortal Moments as well as the etymology and definition of the word. They then start listing some of their favourite artists and genres before diving into how music can evoke past memories and whether this is only a good technique or could potentially ruin songs.

Music plays a big part in all our lives and has huge effects on us both consciously and subconsciously. Movies use soundtracks to create certain atmospheres/feelings and listening to sad music while alone or pump-up music for the gym can also have physical effects on our body and endorphins. To finish up the episode there is a discussion of some musical facts, such as the 1/10000 person perfect pitch phenomenon as well as the only band to perform on every continent.
