Oh man...

I was poking around in iTunes, adding a few more of my favorite music to the My Top Rated playlist. Earlier today I said to myself "you know, I don't have any Lord of the Rings music on this". So that's what I did... I added Lord of the Rings music.

That, in itself, isn't really interesting...

But I got to the grand finale song "Into the West" and played it, not quite remembering what it sounded like... and then a horrific flood of emotions hit me the SECOND the music started playing, it was almost unreal... I immediately recalled the announcement of Uru Live's failure and it's subsequent closure. Then I remembered that I'd played this song constantly throughout that whole fiasco.

I assign things to music like that... it's subconcious almost, but I still do it. I remember a certain Enya music track that I was having trouble reading from the CD, so when I got it ripped off the disc, I played it incessantly for a while, since it was being such a pain... but while I was playing that, I also discovered the an amazing Wheel of Time MUD. So now whenever I play that song, I remember exactly what I did in the MUD... weird.

Anyway... I'll never be able to listen to "Into the West" without remembering everything I went through during Uru Live's closing. ...and that really makes me sad beyond description. I probably won't listen to this song much anymore, fwee.
