I feel that music means quite a bit to me, it has given me inspiration in the past and also helped a lot to pass the time, (such as with travelling).
Childhood:
Green
Day - Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Around
the time I first really started independently listening to music, at
this point most of my music taste was derived from my brother's,
mainly because around this time I got an iPod and seeing as you had
to get music from iTunes I basically just got his music. However,
this wasn't from his library, and I have no idea where I first heard
it, but it's significant to me as I made a blutac stop animation to
the track, basically the first ever creative thing I did, and the
animation was played in my primary school's assembly so I felt pretty
full of myself.
Early Teens:
Pegboard
Nerds – Disconnected
I
first heard this track in 2012 and it was one of the first to really
open my eyes to other genres of music, especially electronic. It also
to a point inspired me in producing my own music, and has accompanied
me on many journeys when on holiday. Despite all this, I still don't
like the second half.
Now:
Felix
Jaehn - Ain't Nobody ft. Jasmine Thompson
This
song is significant to me as every time I hear it it reminds me of
the 1983 version and that reminds me of my childhood and good
memories as my parents always listened to Magic FM which constantly
used to play oldie tracks like it. It's also kind of weird as I
recognised the piano samples used for this track, as I've used them
and heard them in other tracks.
