One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite artists is about this phenomenon.

Inflammatory writ by Joanna Newsom.

    And as for my inflammatory writ?
    Well, I wrote it and I was not inflamed one bit

You made my entire week. Years ago, I stumbled on a song of theirs and could never find it again. After recognizing the voice, I went through the catalogue and there it was: Peach, Plum, Pear. Thank you!
That makes mine!

I had a similar experience having first heard monkey and bear on the radio, but the dj failed to name the track and artist.

Then some time later I heard Inflammatory Writ on an internet radio provider so was able to see the artist’s name.

In addition to immediately recognizing that distinct voice, I also recognized her beautifully dense poetry.

A true bard.
