Uncanny synchronicity

I'm typing up notes on self understanding and identity, reading and referring to the Stanford Encylopedia of Philosophy. The article by Eric T. Olson is entitled Personal identity. I'm also listening on iTunes to a smart playlist shuffle play mix of high-rated Elton John songs. I come across this passage on the website:

Evidence. How do we find out who is who? What evidence bears on the question whether the person here now is the one who was here yesterday? What ought we to do when different kinds of evidence support opposing verdicts? One source of evidence is memory: if you can remember doing something, or at least seem to remember it, it was probably you who did it.

And at precisely the same time, the song Talking Old Soldiers from Tumbleweed Connection is playing, and Elton is singing this lyric:

You're right there's so much going on
No one seems to want to know
So keep well, keep well old friend
And have another drink on me
Just ignore all the others you got your memories
You got your memories

I mistakenly hear the lyric "just ignore all the others" as "just ignore all the evidence" as I'm reading the words "One source of evidence is memory: if you can remember doing something, or at least seem to remember it, it was probably you who did it....Does memory supply evidence all by itself, for instance, or does it count as evidence only insofar as it can be checked against third-person, "bodily" evidence?"
An odd conjunction: hearing this random Elton John song about memories while reading a recently googled web article about identity and memory, while my mind bends the experience, fusing the two perceptions into something even more meaningful ("others" morphing into "evidence").
