I always thought it was because I pick up things and turn them in my hands like scavenging raccoons for YEARS that made me so slow and outdated, but yeah, basically I hold onto history. Something that resonates deeply with me will always stay that way.
For example, when I was 15 (a decade ago) whenever I would start to feel the sway of a bad trip coming in while on acid, the one key to dissolving it was Alberto Balsam by Aphex Twin. EVERY TIME. And so no matter when, if I felt bad, I would play that song. Still, if I hear it, I'm ok.
Typically, songs without vocals tend to stay more solid in mind.
