day 07 - a song that reminds you of a certain event

In high school we liked to go to the Square One Mall when we had extra money and a free Saturday because it had and H&M that we didn't have in NH.  One particular Saturday the roads were wet and we were heading toward the tolls when the car in front of us stopped unexpectedly.  Our driver hit the brake and avoided the car in front of us.  In doing so, our car spun around so that we were 180 degrees, completely turned around so that we were faced the other way of incoming traffic.  This was around the time that we were graduating high school so our friend had made a "friends forever" mix cd.  When we righted ourselves in the car and we all got our bearings, the song playing was "Bridge Over Troubled Water" by Simon and Garfunkel.  It was perfect.  We all breathed a sigh of relief and started laughing at the song because we were saved!  It was an event that we will look back at in exaggeration since one friend says it we turned 560 degrees and it was pouring rain.  Neither of which are true. 

So every time I hear this song it reminds me of the time we survived and avoided and accident.
