Song Association Journal...!
-What Songs Remind Me of What/Who-
1. A-HA - Train of Thought
The beginning is Street Fighter music, right??! Tell me it is!
2. A-HA - Stay on These Roads
My friends and the trip to the beach, cuz it won't stop playing in my head that day!
3. Deep Purple - April
Definitely Gavin, somehow it reminds me of the trials and tribulations of the Gavin!? Someday I'll make it into a movie!
4. No Doubt - Don't Speak
YX, it was a memorable moment when I was at her house (was it that Sleepover day with Jemo?) when she introduced it to me. It was one of those random moments in life that u know will stay forever. Those dim lights, the song and her singing along, somehow it was all very memorable o_O
5. Mazzy Star - Bells Ring
The streets at night, especially Orchard Road at Christmas.
6. Taku Iwasaki - Cord of Life/The Pier
Sunrise. Just listen to it and you'll see what I mean!
7. YOSHIKI - Amethyst
Flying through the medieval world... Watching the mountains, rivers, villages fly past you.. that's exactly why it was so suitable to be in my Morrowind audio file! XD
8. Akira Yamaoka - Dance with Night Wind
Believe it or not, when I listen to this song, a Silent Hill furniture ad materialises in my mind! Metal grate flooring, anyone?
9. Taku Iwasaki - Quiet Life
Kaoru's place... walking through it in the morning and taking in the scent of the morning, like eggs for breakfast... somehow the woodwork of the place comes into mind too... well, it was 1800s Japan...
10. Nobuo Uematsu - Edgar & Sabin
This is the music that plays when you're at Figaro Castle, it will also be there during some flashbacks... So apart from things in the game, it also reminds me of one very regal person - Gram Gram.
11. Nobuo Uematsu - Celes
Snow. Falling snow. And blonde hair. : S (A heart as pure as snow, anyone?)
12. Nobuo Uematsu - The Blackjack
80s dining and star cruise o_O Somemore, I think it'll fit right in with a dining situation in the anime GS Mikami.
13. Nobuo Uematsu - FFVII Main Theme (on piano)
The struggles and triumph of Cloud's gang is well represented through this piece... it also reminds me of common men's struggle throughout daily life, for a greater purpose?
14. Nobuo Uematsu - Anxious Heart
Impending danger... like looking down a mountain you're sitting on or waking across the strings of a giant guxin. o_O And as the song progresses, trekking through snow...
15. Nobuo Uematsu - Junction
That dreamy feeling. Of trekking through unknown/surreal territory.
16. Nobuo Uematsu - Fragments of Memories
Precious memories play in my head when I listen to this one, except the sound been's changed to this current tune. It echos of childhood times, too. Subtle sad piece...
17. Nobuo Uematsu - Ami
Believe or it, this song frequently played in my head during Secondary School... It's like,"Ah, just another day in Garden school..." (At the highest point of FFVIII gaming withdrawal, I would even see my SEED rank bar popout with the correct sound effect, and my amount of Gil... )
18. Nobuo Uematsu - Martial Law
A hard to make decision, in the City.
19. Nobuo Uematsu - Dance with the Balamb Fish
An old black and white silent film with LOTS of black humour.
20. L'Arc~en~ciel - Farewell
The weird sound effect at the ending makes me of think blasting off into the afterlife?!!?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bands that remind me of The Sun, Sky and Country Roads?!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Pillows
hide (a lil' bit)
Oblivion Dust (maybe it's the youthful sound)
hmm... will add on when I can think of more!
P.S. I realised that the best songs (the songs I like best) have very little or no images attached to them... instead they only create some very powerful feelings, maybe someday I will be able to describe them : )
