let it roll right off your shoulders

It's a beautiful day here in the sunny Northern Rivers region, and I am sitting inside sneezing sullenly all over my laptop in the hope that I can finish this stupid EBM assignment before my immune system completely gives out.

It's also a beautiful day to be in Sydney for Supanova, I'm sure. SIGH.

Ooh, a question for you all: are there any songs that spark particular emotions in you because of their use in TV shows or movies? I can only think of a couple of examples off the top of my head: Michelle Branch's 'Goodbye To You' (heartbreaking) and Dire Straits' 'Brothers in Arms' (bittersweetamazing) because of their use in Buffy and West Wing respectively, and I rewatched Meet the Robinsons last night (IT GETS BETTER EVERY TIME I WATCH IT. MAGICALLY. BEST ANIMATED FILM TO EVER EXIST Y/N?) and thus have Rob Thomas' 'Little Wonders' on repeat as the ultimate inspirational work-hard-and-follow-your-dreams song.

(I would show you the Little Wonders scene but it's epically spoilery for the film and if you haven't seen Meet the Robinsons (I am not judging. ryokophoenix had to talk about it nonstop for months before I watched it. but you SHOULD WATCH IT.) then you really, really don't want to be spoilered.)

Tell me your songs with media-generated emotional associations! Bonus points for YouTube evidence.

There are so many! Unsurprisingly, a lot of Sarah McLachlan, as she was a staple in the old WB days aka the formative days of my adolescence. "Fear" always makes me think of the pilot episode of Roswell and gives me this feeling of, idk, strange wonderment. And "Full of Grace" for the S2 finale of Buffy and the heartbreak contained therein.

More recently, when I hear "Cut" by Plumb I always want to go back and watch this scene (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp9zH4d9JNE) from The Vampire Diaries. I associate it a lot with that scene and that feeling of first love.

Oh, that's a lovely song! I can't dl anything because I'm using my hosts' wireless, but I will try to remember to hit you up for it when I'm back in Sydney.
