Ok. Now give me a song that, upon hearing it, you are always transported (mentally, not physically) back to an event in your life. If you want to describe the event, great. If you would rather keep it to yourself, I understand.
And thanks everyone for participating. I have learned a great deal about you from your answers to the last few

On a more positive note... The Christmas Song by Alvin and the Chipmunks has the most powerful effect of any, at least that I can think of right now. Whenever I hear it, I can practically smell the vinyl record, feel the flannel nightgown, and, if I close my eyes, I am suddenly sitting by the Christmas tree with Tami, petting Sara, and I can't wait to go to bed so I can wake up the next morning and open up presents.

That was the song that randomly played on my CD player the right after I had said good-bye to the true love of life #2 (yes, I had two of them...) the night that I left him in D.C., before he flew to South Africa on the way back to Perth, Australia to meet his awaiting, artificially inseminated pregnant wife.

That and Portishead's "Only You" for similarly obvious reasons.

"Munich" by The Editors - the day Karyna dumped me.
