Power of Music - Part Two

As I stated in a previous post, I LOVE music. Especially music that has some significance to me. I first got into World of Warcraft my senior year in high school. (2005) I had no idea what to expect and I was a big fan of Warcraft 2, and Warcraft 3 games so I figured I would like it.

Boy, was I right. I practically became obsessed with Warcraft. I wanted my Tauren Druid to be the best there ever was! There were a few times where I called into work just to play Warcraft all day. ( I know, it's sad!)

While playing my Tauren Druid I disliked Orgimmar. Don't really know why but I just didn't like the feeling of it. So, I spent all of my time in Thunderbluff. Because of all that time spent there every time I hear the Thunderbluff song I am taken back to those all nighters with my Tauren.

Those were the days! Stay up all night and explore the World of Warcraft. So many good memories, and this music takes me right back!

The Power of Music

Music has always had a great effect on me. If I hear a certain piece of music it will instantly take me right back to my greatest memories associated to that song. A lot of these songs that have this affect on me are from video games. Countless hours gaming with friends, by myself, or with my father.

One particular song gets me every time is 'Chicago' from Perfect Dark 64. My dad got laid off when I was about thirteen years old. When he had his job he was always traveling and I hardly ever saw him. When he was laid off it was bizarre. He was always home!

Since he was home we got into playing Perfect Dark 64 multiplayer together. I would put all of the settings together and off we would go. I couldn't stand any of the music in Perfect Dark except for the 'Chicago' track. So, I had it repeat constantly. No other was allowed to play.

My father and I played tons and tons of hours in the Combat Simulator. It's been fifteen years since those days but every time I hear that song play I'm instantly brought back to playing Perfect Dark 64 with my father.
