" Using the past tense doesn't mean you don't still feel that way. It simply doesn't address the present situation. Perhaps you have not recently heard the song or seen the play.

Use "always reminds me," or "always reminded me."

Using the past tense doesn't mean you don't still feel that way. It simply doesn't address the present situation. Perhaps you have not recently heard the song or seen the play.

If you hear the song every day, then use the present.
If you're watching the play right now, use "this play."
