    Got a call to rush to hospital. They were going to switch off life support to cousins dad. Was listening to ColdPlay when I got into the car. Fix you was playing.

    Tears stream down your face lyric wasted me.

    The song will always be about supporting my cousin and being there for them.

    Billy idol greatest hits was playing on repeat when I played Super Hangon on my amiga. Always takes me back.

    But not tonight by Depeche Mode walking to church on Christmas Eve. I didn’t have it playing but I was singing it in my head that night. Not religious at all but that song in that moment was my hymn.

    Don’t bang the Drum by The Waterboys. Guitar screaming and nearly getting knocked by a car while walking to my final exams.

    Dead Island backwards trailer for the game. Mad World trailer for gears of War. Gary Jules Everybody wants to rule the world Assassins Creed trailer. Lorde. All of them take me to watching those trailer for the first time.
