Songs that remind you of...

Childhood: One Summer by Daryl Braithwaite. Most of the mid-80s hits will trigger some happy childhood moments but I like this one in particular. Carefree summer days at the beach. Good times.
Love: I was together with a Norwegian for 18 years so got into a lot of the naff Scandinavian pop that was huge over there in the 70s and 80s. This is When two become one from Gyllene Tider. The voice may sound familiar because it’s Per Gessle from Roxette. It’s a load of bubblegum but always reminds me of innocent teenage love.
Death: I played this at my wife’s funeral. It’s The Most Beautiful by Jan Teigen. It’s about love lost and the things he never got to say to her. Gets me every time.

No Doubt - Dont speak, just had a chick break up with me, was the first song I heard when I got in the car to drive home, although I was more gutted I couldnt hang out with her family anymore than her, that was part of what pissed her off so much is that her family would often ring me to ask if I wanted to go fishing or do stuff even when she was away!
Lou Bega Mambo #5 - me and my mates on a roadie to Edinburgh, was being thrashed on the radio, was in the clubs, but such a cool time!
Dave Dobbyn Loyal - 2nd song played at our Wedding
Bic Runga - Something Good was first song played at our wedding, wife heard it while we were holidaying in NZ and loved it. -
The first song I heard when I arrived in UK. Oh how I was looking forward to catching live gigs in the worlds music capital.
Fiddlers Fucking Dram - Fortunately you never hear it but I can picture the scene now. Dull overcast London day AND THIS SHIT COMES ON THE RADIO
Second song was much better

I wonder what trauma happens in people's lives that they listen to folk music

Not so much a song as an entire album. I went to a 21st a long time ago and the birthday boy played Tom Petty's Damn the Torpedoes. All night. There was no other music, he just played that on repeat. I can't listen to it even now.
edit: Just to clarify, there was free piss, so leaving early wasn't an option.

I would guess that the answer is in your very true statement - they were forced to listen to folk music, a cruel and sadistic parent or suchlike. A sort of Stockholm syndrome ensues.
Eventually you end up with the masochistic self harming, of listening to it by choice.
