A mix
I have a couple of songs I adore. If I can be arsed, I will tell you you them. I know, I know, you await with baited breathe.

Anyhoo.

While at Uni i had a portable CD player, in which lived a CD. A mix CD if you will. I can't recall the whole play list but i remember the last track was was Roads by Portishead (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vg1jyL3cr60). This is one of my most treasured songs.

I remember one morning, i had taken the bus to Uni, as usual, headphones on, music blocking out the world and lost in thought. The bus arrives, i disembark and start my walk to my lectures. This song came on, a moment of silences, then the intro, i open a set of doors and encounter people, the lyrics start. I walk thru the crowd, with "Can't anybody see" in my ears. I felt so alive, tranquil and disconnected. Things seemed to be moving in slow motion.

A bit of backstory on the song. I first heard it when i was watching a movie i had flicked off half way thru. It was about a small boy who was uncared for and lost. At the end of the movie he shot some old bloke, ran home, set fire to the kitchen. Then went to his room and hit in his cupboard and started to draw. This was his happy place, the song played as smoke filled the house and the flame engulfed his home.

What's the film? Sounds intriguing.

Erm
Not sure, it was quite a few years ago and I had flicked over half way thru.

I will see what I can find.
