Okay, this might sound like an odd thread topic (probably attributed to too much wine and feeling jealous from reading some of the great trip reports here on SQTalk whilst listening to music), but there are a few tracks that always remind me of special trips on SQ. These were all tracks that were available on KrisWorld at the time, and I was wondering if other SQTalkers have similar memory-joggers?:
- The BeeGees, Message (Gotta get a message to you) - mrs nickbot and I *love* the BeeGees,...this track reminds me of a particularly bad turbulence experience somewhere over India on my first SQ MAN-SIN trip,...listening to this song, which holds very special meaning to us, helped chill me out whilst lightning was flashing all around and I was feeling rather uneasy
- Chemical Brothers, Galvanise - Our first time in Raffles (LHR-SIN-SYD), on our honeymoon in May 2005, this is now always referred to as "nickbot's Raffles Song" and is probably my definitive, iconic SQ memory song!
- Nelly Furtado, Say it right - Brings back memories of our most recent Australia trip, during which we were so fortunate to meet CGK and Upright Man, and indeed to fly with both of them on our wonderful SQ321 trip as detailed in my trip report
Not on KrisWorld, but finally:
- Pet Shop Boys, Suburbia - A favourite of mine on my iPod, first track I tried on Upright Man's Sennheisers,...now listening to it at home on my own pair
- Midnight Oil, Warakurna - I've been a fan of Midnight Oil for many, many years, and have been fortunate to see them live around half a dozen times,...unfortunately they've now split up This song has a wonderful line, referring to the glorious sunburnt nation that is Australia:
"Some people leave, always return"
Sad as it may sound, I like to have that playing on my iPod when touching down in Australia Most recent touchdown in BNE was no exception
There's probably many more, but those are the first that come to mind! Would love to hear anyone else's "SQ tracks"!
