Now, look, we've talked about memory a bit and the link with music. matched

And Catherine was telling me earlier about this new paper out about what happens with memories as they get older. matched

So if you have a recent memory and you replay it, it feels like you're thinking of it in the first person still, as you're looking out at the memory. matched

But after a certain point, it becomes something that you look down on. matched

And you're looking at this memory as if it's happening to someone else. matched

That someone is you. matched

And I find this fascinating. matched

They have both ways of experiencing it. matched

But Steve, you've done a lot of thinking and work about memories and music. matched

I wonder if you had any thoughts on that. matched

Do you want to get set up? matched

OK, so we'll play out with you in a minute. matched
