Music is a really great way to bridge generational gaps, especially now that collaborative playlists are so easy to make. (From 2021)
The more I delved into the research, the more I wanted to tap into music's uncanny ability to excavate memories and bring people together. My first thought was to create a playlist of my dad's favorite tunes. Whether you use Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, or SoundCloud, most playlist apps have technology that helps you fashion playlists from just a few song titles.
Their responses uncovered things I didn't know about my father. Mom texted that Dad fell in love with the Beach Boys' "Surfing Safari," then attempted to surf and failed My sister recalled Dad singing Barry Manilow's "I Made It Through the Rain" during long road trips. And my brother-in-law chimed in with a memory of Dad trying to master his moves to "Boot Scootin' Boogie" and nearly taking out half the people on the dance floor.
For me, listening to the carefully curated "Dad" playlist and viewing the accompanying music video my brother-in-law created on Vimeo brought me back to cherished moments with my father—how he shimmied through our living room singing Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" and transformed himself into the perfect swing dancing partner when "In the Mood" played during family weddings.
"Music taps into the emotional center of the brain, and it's strongly associated with memory," Glowacki says. "If you hear a piece of music, you can pull up the emotions, the affect you had from other times in your life when you heard it. It's an immediate sensory response in a way that spoken language is not."
