to me records, can at times be records/diaries of my life. i remeber where i was, what happened etc when i first heard a particular song on the radio. i find, looking back in hindsight, that where i was physically or mentally at a moment in time reflects what music i was listening to or purchased.
two classic examples for me are 'wrapped around your finger' by the polce... 'you consider me a young apprentice', that means something to me because i just started my apprenticeship the same time as that recieved airplay, i remember where i was working at the time, almost every detail of that time, when i play,hear or think about that song.
'long hot summer' by the style council, came as a breath of fresh air with its cool summer breeze type synths in a bloody hot summer in 1983.
just little things like those two examples bring a smile to my face, fond times learning about weed,uppers,booze and girls....fantasic!
its true what some people say, music is the soundtrack to our lives
