Music has so many cues for memory, most of them ‘stored’ in [areas of the brain](https://www.ucf.edu/pegasus/your-brain-on-music/) which are activated by different stimuli.

The beat activates one area, the lyrics another, the association between the music and your emotional state, the location you were in, etc. all lead to multiple relationships and triggers for recall.
