Write about a memory connected to a song from the 80s. Sure, you could treat that lightly and write something fun, but you could also write about the song that was playing when ______ happened, or the song that ____ loved and makes you think of them now, and the song that makes you wonder what if or the song that reminds you of who was once wanted to be.
Remember also, you don’t necessarily have to write about something that happened when the song was new. You could write about what happened last week while you were listening to Ah-Ha’s “Take On Me” in the car, for example.
