New Kid in Town (Eagles) - On New Year's Eve the radio station used to play the Top 100 songs of the year. I remember hearing this one as I was making a bird feeder from a milk carton, to hang in a big tree across from our (closed, covered, iced-and-snowed-upon) swimming pool. It was one of those cloudy winter days with a light snow which beget you to go outside. I marched across the pool to hang my bird feeder, without thinking that I could have fallen through. Then I heard the song again as I was tucked in bed in the dark with the glow of the red numbers on my clock radio, and the multicoloured Christmas lights on my little bedroom tree named Freddy. I assume it was 1976 or whatever year the album came out.
Also Blinded by the Light (Manfred Mann) - When my dad taught me how to skate. We drove home in a snow squall and this song was playing as I hunkered down in the back seat with my blanket and some hot chocolate.

I go to some of the places I grew up, trying to remember things I probably shouldn't but also for sensory reasons.
Do you ever wish someone would send you ghost stories about castles?
