The process of creating and reflection upon autobiographical memory
is an everyday practice that is typical within the human
experience. When music becomes integrated into personal memories,
an invitation to remember is provided through both purposeful
listening activities and incidental engagement with music in the
everyday. The result is a metaphorical canon of music that
accompanies life experiences. The Lifetime Soundtrack investigates
musically motivated autobiographical memories as they relate to the
lifetime soundtrack in order to provide further understanding of
their occurrence, nuance, emotionality, and function for
individuals. Drawing on in-depth discussions with younger and older
adults, each chapter reflects on a common theme or aspect of
musically motivated memory. People, places, and eras feature
frequently, with memories of childhood, family, past romantic
relationships, and the major and minor events occurring within them
acting as prime sites for memory and music interaction. The book
also considers the ways in which musically memory may manifest
differently for trained musicians, for whom music represents both
leisure and work. Forging a broad foundation in an overlooked area,
this study brings together sociological views on the personal use
of music and existing ideas on the workings of human memory. At the
same time, it aims to fortify the concept of the Lifetime
Soundtrack as a sociological concept with broad application in
future research. In so doing, the book highlights the significance
of music-enhanced reflection as a tool for the composition of
meaning within everyday life.
