    that feeling when you're 40 years old and you had a very, very tumultuous time in your 20s and then you forget about an album that was pivotal to your time living and partying in NYC as a 21 year old with an unstable identity and then you hear the first bars of one of the songs and suddenly you can smell the perfume you used to wear, with an undernote of the cigarettes you used to smoke and you can taste the drip in your throat from all the cocaine you were doing
