Lets Talk Songs & Memories

[Cr0fty]

My good friend Eugene is hatching a master plan of a graphics project and I've told him OcUK will be all friendly to his cause. The brief asks him to put together a community piece, so he's collecting data on memory and music and then displaying the results in an interactive exhibition.

So, I ask of you dear Sir or Madame, to please name any song and the memory you have linked with it. If you think the song has a certain colour or perceived colour to you then add that, if not then just fill in the other three.

:
- Track
- Artist
- Significance to you
- Colour

Here's a wee snapshot of some so far.

It's also pretty cool to hear the responses and read the memory associated

Thanks, and thanks from Eugene!

Aha awesome. I saw Wheatus last September, dressed in a skeleton onesie at Swansea University. My ex had just moved there as a fresher. We had an argument as I got a little drunk and partied too hard with her friends, but Wheatus were great

- Heaven for Everyone
- Queen
- Played at my Dad's funeral, so I always think of him when I play it. It took me years to be able to listen to it after he died without feeling sad, but now it just makes me think of the good times.

The year was 1970, I was 12 and my mate blasted Black Sabbath's Paranoid out of his Dad's hifi and my life was changed forever. He also played Led Zeppelin's Bron Y Aur Stomp which amazed me and then we left with me wondering how to get more.

(1 week later I was in a neighbours house, looked at his record collection and he sold me the first 3 Black Sabbath, first 3 Led Zeppelin and first 3 Uriah Heep albums for 50p each )

That was exactly the same for me with American Pie. I couldn't listen to it for years but now it's a nice surprise when it comes on because it just reminds me of him.
