Is there one song that takes you back?

I have several songs that affect me.
One is "If Tomorrow Never Comes" by Ronan Keating - we played it at my Mum's funeral and if I hear it without warning, say for example if it comes on the radio out of the blue, I usually end up in tears.
Another is "Summertime" by Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, old I know, but it takes me back to driving around with one of my ex boyfriends when we were younger, balmy summer evenings and good friends.
The other day I was in a shop and "She Loves You" by the Beatles came on, and that took me back to primary school - our music teacher loved the Beatles and taught us the song for a contest.
I love that music has that effect on me - how it can transport me from one memory to another.
