What object is evocative for me. Its there something that makes me reminisce about the past that draw up different memories at different times. There is music. Certain songs bring good memories and stories I want to tell but mostly good memories. Can songs be counted as evocative they are not tangible but the words the lyrics when written can be evocative. I not sure what the word means anyway. Its it something that pulls nostalgia from you? Something that make you think of something not related to the object that stirred the memory? If so I have to go with music. The first song that comes to mind is “American Pie” by Don Mclean. Different parts bring up different memories. Anytime, among my friends if in conversation someone says it was a long time ago or something to that effect we start singing. I think about all the places we sang it. When we sang it , who we sang it with, what happened when we sang it, who we will never sing it with again. That song is part of the soundtrack of my life.
