Listening to 'Bubbly' by Colbie Caillat and it reminds me of Hanoi. We (me, Yas, LY and June) were in a hotel room watching MTV with this song being shown, the night before I left Hanoi for Bangkok. The following day while sitting inside a cab heading to Hanoi Airport, this song was playing again. And for the first time, I started to miss those left behind in the hotel. This song will forever remind me of Hanoi and the time spent traveling with friends there.
I'm sure you have songs that remind you or bring back memories of things, places, emotions or people you have come into contact with or experienced in your life.
Here are mine:
- 'Music' (Madonna), 'I Wanna Be with You' (Mandy Moore), 'Only Love' (Trademark) and 'Come on Over (Christina Aguilera) remind me of the time I had in King Edward VII Hall, NUS, Singapore. These songs were popular then. I would always hear these songs on my radio set. I didn't have a computer; the only source of entertainment and information when I was in my room was from a radio.
- 'Around the World' by Aqua reminds me of NUS and its Central Library. I remember the first time I stepped out of a shuttle bus and walked into the vicinity of Central Library, there was some event happening below the library (I can't remember what it was called. It was the event to mark the opening of a new academic year where students brought stuff and food to sell and put up some performances), this song was playing so loudly there. After that encounter, this song stuck in my head and it grew on me.
- 'All I Ask of You' (The Phantom of the Opera) and 'Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin' (The Moon represents my heart) remind me of the singing class I took as an elective subject in my 3rd year in NTU. These were two songs that we had to practice singing. I performed one of these songs in front of my classmates. I was shaking and very nervous at that time. I never manage to finish the song.
- 'Electric Storm' (U2) and 'Game of Love' (Santana Ft. Michelle Branch). When I was staying at Hall 2, Jeremy and Daryl were my neighbors. Jeremy liked to introduce new hit songs to people he knew. These two songs were introduced by him. I liked Michelle Branch. And soon these two songs became regular in my WMP's playing list.
- 'One Last Cry' (Brian McKnight). I sometimes get emotional when I hear this song. Camile Velasco performed this song on American Idol. And I have been in love with her ever since. I will get married anytime soon if I find someone like her.
-Besides 'Bubbly', 'Clumsy' (Fergie) reminds me of Hanoi too.
How about yours?

Two songs by this band, Camera Obscura, really brings me back to Cambodia - Hey Lloyd I'm Ready to be Heartbroken and Let's Get Out of This Country.
"Sober" reminds me of my time in Tampines JC, but I can't remember the name of the woman who sang it. Songs by Third Eye Blind also remind me of JC.
Most songs by Travis and Coldplay's first album brings me back to my first two years in NTU. Great fun. The soundtrack of Legally Blonde also, haha.
There is one song by Keane that reminds me of the time me and Lianyi started dating. I think it's called Bend and Break or something, I can't remember.
I didn't know that there were soundtracks of Legally Blond.
I have no idea of all the songs you mentioned. I guess we have different tastes in music. Know some Travis's songs though. Sing!
Can anyone recommend the robust RMM software for a small IT service company like mine? Does anyone use Kaseya.com or GFI.com? How do they compare to these guys I found recently: N-able N-central system management
? What is your best take in cost vs performance among those three? I need a good advice please... Thanks in advance!
