From there, we just lose track of how to access it, even though it's in there. 

What can be really powerful is when a smell or a sound triggers a memory.

I was listening to te song "After the Love Is Gone" by Earth, Wind and Fire. I had not heard it in decades. Some of the chords hit home and just like instantly transported me back to 38 years ago at the high school dance. Very powerful.
