Life is a Soundtrack

Freedom. Longing. Grief. Relief. Repeat.

My soundtrack to moving to a new home and being newly single for the first time in a very long time. 2013.

One of my fave NIN albums tbh

My soundtrack to becoming a parent. ~2000s

Wipeout was the game! I played it relentlessly and it was such a rush! The music was a massive part of that: tracks from this album, and the licensed music too.

My soundtrack to the original PlayStation. 1995.

This is my soundtrack to going to see my grandparents in Oxfordshire. I remember the way their house smelled (pipe tobacco) and the forests we drove through to get to them..

This album blew my young mind. And I listened relentlessly. ~1990s

My soundtrack to holidays on the North-West coast of Scotland as a teen. ~1990s

I used to listen to this album on a little cassette player that I bought from the Grundig electronics store in Mallaig.

Already, I was a fan of Clannad from the Robin Hood TV show. And this album became a gateway to more of their work, and later in life Celtic music generally.

It still brings happy memories of sitting by the sea listening to this on my tinny headphones.
