There are some songs that just take you back to a specific moment in your past, where the song pin points your exact mood, thoughts, emotions, feelings, wishes and desires, longings, remembrances and everythingin between which I havent mentioned. 'Gravity' by Embrace is one such song; I heard it at university when I was in my first or second year, and it spoke volumes to me. It was a feeling that I was in the right place at the right time, being in Chester was just where God wanted me to be, and the pants stuff that had happened to me before I came to uni was just beginning to ease off of me, like gravity weighs you down; this was just the beginning of the opposite; it was like weights were being lifted off me.
Stereophonics 'Dakota' are another tune that reminds me of a specific point in my past; this song reminds me so much of how I was feeling about Craig before we got together. It summed up my feelings and put them into words probably a lot better than I could have done, sure not all of the words and lyrics fit, but the general 'feel' of the song was so right at the time. I don't want to add anymore as it was such a personal time and emotions were so high that I don't want to let anyone else in, but if you listen to the song lyrics it just makes so much sense (to me anyway).
Keane's song called 'Better than this' helped me whilst I was working at Clarks to think of doing something better than this; literally when I heard this song at Clarks I was thinking: God you are talking directly to me through this song... the lyrics say it all.
