Is there a song which instantly---

takes you back to a person or event as soon as you hear it?

A Cornish beach, late at night, sat in the sand, holding hands(etc.). The waves breaking and out in the bay, lights from the boats flashing on the water. In the pub behind us, all the doors and windows open, someone kept playing ' The land of the rising sun ' on the juke box. Romantic!
Then the couple next to us told us the flashing lights in the bay were the lifeboats looking for a little girl who had vanished that morning and the couple walking slowly up and down the beach on the edge of the waves were her parents.They'd been doing that all day and were still doing it when we left much later.
As soon as I hear that song I can see those lights flashing on the waves.
