That's not to say I don't enjoy listening to music, I do, it's just that I don't have the same burning, all consuming love of it that some people seem to have. I have friends who can name every song or album by a particular artist. Who can name any song just from hearing a ten second clip of it.
I'm not that person.
When I love a song, it's usually because it's linked in my mind to something. I'll always love "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" thanks to an ex-boyfriend who serenaded me with it (and by serenaded, I mean warbled all the bits he could remember in a decidedly off-key manner ... but it was still sweet). And there definitely more songs that have a place in my heart thanks to their connection to a TV show or movie than I'm entirely comfortable admitting to.
See that's the thing, I really only love a song if it prompts an emotional response in me, and that emotional response usually has nothing to do with the song itself. And the songs that have the biggest responses?
AC/DC.
I know, it's a weird choice. Late 70's early 80's rock. But for some reason in my mind they're connected with being little. I'm guessing they played on the radio a lot when I was a tot and I've subconsciously linked them to being safe and contented.
Because nothing calms a scared toddler more than a good dose of "You Shook Me All Night Long", don't you agree?
So what are your go to comfort songs?
