The Soundtrack of your LifeChe Grimsdale writes: Now that Simon Cowell's stolen Everybody Hurts, tell us about songs that mean something to you - good, bad, funny or tragic, appropriate or totally inappropriate songs that were playing at key times.

More Yellow Birds by Sparklehorse- I was getting into the whole album, and particularly that song) when things with my first serious girlfriend started to go properly wrong
- When me and my Dad went to visit my Grandma in the Old People's home a few weeks before she died and took her out for a drive to go shopping, we'd hooked up my iPod to the stereo on shuffle (we've got similar tastes), and it was the only song of that came on which she liked. 'There's nice and pretty, isn' it... leave that on.'
- A friend from home was into that album too, and we put it on once in his car driving on the motorway through North Birmingham at night in a rainstorm. It was a very atmospheric moment, stuck vividly in my memory. He died two years back.
So...
- Very beautiful, wistful song
- Bring back vivid memories
- Can't listen to it without remembering one relationship which went wrong, and two people close to me who've died in the past few years
I don't listen to it much any more, as I blub every time.
