I recently was on youtube and found this :


Lava Reef Zone Act 1 from Sonic and Knuckles. Fuck man...so long since I last heard it, each time I do it is always the same, whisked back through time to 15 years ago as an 8 year old boy. It was the summer holidays, and a hot and sunny Saturday. Me and some friends got ready to go swimming in the river, but couldn't decide which swimming hole to go to, so went to the local swimming pool. It was without a roof, and the sun was shining on everyone. The water was nice and cool. After hours of mindless fun, I went home, got my dinner and then went to my room to put the Mega Drive on and played Sonic and Knuckles. I got to the Lava Reef Zone and fell in love with the music, it is my favourite piece of music from any video game, not because it was the best, but because it is catchy, upbeat and I played it at the right time. I almost cry hearing it, longing to be that 8 year old kid again. The power of music, it is truely awesome.

We all must have stories like this. Tell me yours.
