Funny you say that. I listen to the 70’s channel on Sirius all the time. That was my 12-20 year old period. The music lifts me up and makes me optimistic happy and reflective. You are right!

It's brain science. That's when the adolescent brain develops and basically wires itself for life. NPR did a segment on it a million years ago about why certain songs from your youth have such an impact. Similarly, it's why nursing homes play certain songs from certain eras for residents (and dementia patients).

Everyone has a soundtrack for their life.

Didn’t Susan Boyle have a really good one?

Not interested in dwelling or “whoa is me “ types of songs. More about feeling good and powerful now that his phase is over and I’m on to better things.

Just don't make it about him or about the relationship (which you seem to be doing). That's dwelling. That's turning over too much power.

Again: what songs do *you* love? What songs make *you* happy? What's your walk up song? If you don't know, then you should do some serious navel gazing and get to know yourself, figure out what you love, and go after your own dream.
