Music is of great importance in my life - so much so that I can recall where it came from: a person, a moment in life, a random encounter... I still associate Ty zh mene pidmanula, a Ukrainian folk song, with dancing with my paternal grandmother, a Ukrainian, when I was three. I never remembered the moment - the footage suggests that I was very uncomfortable during the moment - but I bear dear memories about the old woman, so the song stays with me. Or that time I fell in love with a girl while riding home from the uni, listening to Noisia's Lilith's Club. For a long time, every time I listened to this song, I relived the moment in the bus when I saw her pretty smile. Or that mission in Far Cry 3 where you have to burn the weed while Skrillex & Damian Marley's Make It Bun Dem plays in the background. Loads of moments like this. Don't get me started with smells.
Damn that first song caught me by surprise. I loaded it, tabbed out of it and let it run in the background and it hit me like a folk-truck! Then my flatmates poked their heads in and found me like this http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fEXyKe5WLmk/UZ0uDdCJrCI/AAAAAAAAL_o/kS5Jzlu7IDE/s400/gandalf.gif
