Remember

Remembering stories in your life has many different triggers, mine particularly by music since it is a large part of my life being a musician and enthusiast.  It could be the lyrics that bring back the past or just a vibe that an instrumental gives off or even both at once. 

I personally try to live off of lyrics from Best Day Ever by Mac Miller because they really speak to me to keep positive about everything in life.

 

"No matter where life takes me, find me with a smile, pursuit to be happy, I'll be laughing like a child, I never thought life would be this sweet, It got me cheesin' from cheek to cheek, and I aint gonna wait for nothin', cuz that just aint my style, Life couldn't get better, this gonna be the best day ever."-Mac Miller

 

Music, through my eyes, is the best way to remember because there are so many ways that you can portray the music differently than what the artist intended.  Also, music can be a way to forget about something (or just not have it brought up in thought). People use music to supress memories too or just don't associate bad events in life with music because they want to forget and move on, even though it isn't that simple.  I personally don't associate music with bad events, but they do come up and I use music to get my mind off of it.
