It is so popular with lists these days so I thought I make one of the music highlights for myself too. This is the selection of today with some reflections.
1. Fix You, Coldplay
Summer of 2005
Writing thesis and solutions to a PhD course in Salabacke, Uppsala, the offsite trip to Asilomar, and the nightly walks during the same offsite. Sitting outside the reception taking pictures of a foot and looking at the stars…
2. Living Room, David Gray
Late December 2004 – January 2005
Staffan, love you, man. The beer nights at Katalin, Uppsala, with lots of Kilkenny, laughs and our “strange†discussions.
3. 20,000 Seconds, K’Choice
September 2001, Montpellier, France
Sitting on a plan with a "sad" mind from France back to Sweden thinking of the smell of Dolce & Gabbana perfume, crazy French drivers and the extremely loud bells of the Cathedral outside.
4. Dansa på min grav (Dance on my grave), Bo Kaspers orkester
Autumn of 2004
Squashing pear outside my parents house, crazy spinning sessions at Nautilus and the color of Swedish autumn.
5. You Oughta Know, Alanis Morissette
Spring 1996 (during my military service)
Sitting as fire watch during the nights in the field somewhere in Sweden with one earplug, the other constantly listening to “surprise attacksâ€. Eating my homemade buns.
