Glad you enjoyed!

You mention smells, and in a strange way how you describe music can occasionally have overlap somehow. You might get this too, but occasionally I'll get a whiff, for just a fraction of a second, of something or other, perhaps something I haven't smelt in 20 years, and it'll immediately transport me back in time... not as a visual memory I can describe 'Hey remember the time when we did this' - but as the purest.. feeling of a time. Since it's only the sense of smell connecting you, it's impossible to pinpoint a tangible moment, but all the same, it drags up all those feelings and emotions you once had at that unknown time in the past when you last smelt that smell.

There's a name for the phenomenon, I forget what. But yeah, pretty fascinating where a human can find emotions, from art to a simple whoosh of passing air.
