Three songs

I've mentioned it a few times on my blog before that I have quite a varied music taste. Growing up my parents listened to The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac and The Beach Boys to name a few (actually this is only my Dad's choice of music, my Mum's was just Cliff Richard really and that's just embarrassing).

A shuffle play through my iTunes or on my iPod and the variety just shines through, I think it's as random as my life is to be honest. Spurs boy also has a wide variety of music in his collection so between us it's a pretty weird and wonderful collection.

1996

You know when you hear a song that instantly reminds you a time in your life?

A couple of days ago when (cough) the weather was sunny, I heard this song for the first time in ages and I instantly seemed to daydream back to the year it was released - 1996.

Sarah Loves... Empire Records

You've seen it right?

If not, you are missing out and if you have seen it then you know why I love it so much.

Empire Records is a film about a small independent record shop managed by Joe. His employees are all high-schoolers and young adults. The staff is very much a self-created family, with Joe as the reluctant and annoyed father figure.

Songs that seem to follow you

Do you ever have a song that seems to follow you over a period of days?

Whether it be on the radio, adverts, television or walking into shops and hearing songs on their in store radio, sometimes music and certainly some songs can follow you.

I first heard "Temptation" by Moby on Monday morning just as I had woken up. I put my spotify on random every morning (I can't stand listening to radio in the morning, too much chatter!) and Temptation came on. I probably haven't heard the song for years and I had forgotten how much I liked it and how beautiful it is.

I spent the rest of the day humming the song and deciding that I need to try and listen to more things on my spotify playlists that I haven't done for ages.

On Tuesday I was watching Vampire Diaries with Bestie when Temptation was featured near the end. It made me smile, mainly as I hadn't heard the song for years and now had heard it twice in two days.

Then on Wednesday I had put my spotify playlists on shuffle and had been sorting out my desk. I needed something from another room and when I came back, Temptation was playing.

Today I went out with Bestie to the charity I volunteer at for a visit and one of the guys said he'd been listening to Moby and had I been a fan. He said he would play his favourite to me, yes that's right, Temptation.

Now I'm waiting for the next time the song plays...silly really as if I don't hear it tomorrow I think I'll be disappointed.
