> What is it about a song that instantly jerks your mind back to when you heard it at a particular time?

I'm no expert (and indeed I haven't even looked it up), but I've read various places that we remember most things by association. As for how long you remember, I think it depends on the intensity of the song or feeling, and how often you think about the memory.
