Something I have an issue with and that is with certain songs and how sometimes certain songs can bring on an anxiety attack for no apparent reason. It happened to me today in a shopping centre whilst on my own. I was walking through and this certain song started playing over the speakers and I felt I needed to get out.

Has anyone ever had that?

May I ask what song caused that, and which other songs cause that?

There might be some pattern...like the chord structure or rhythm of the songs that cause it.

The song in question was Green Onion by Booker T & The M.G’s. what happens when I hear it I start thinking I am on a long car journey and I am a long way from home and it is the Early hours of the morning and my thought is to get back. I have the same with Peaches by The Stranglers.
