I have a strong affinity for music - not that I have any talent in music, I don't play any instruments and can only sing when my iPod is at full volume so I can't hear myself sing - rather, many of the significant events and emotions of my life are associated with particular songs. I was talking with a friend about this just today. Here's a brief list of those songs that have provided the soundtrack to my life, in chronological appearance in my life, youngest first:Surrender - Cheap Trick (my first kiss as I remember)
