"The Flood" - Take That

It's over eight months early to post about this song's seven-year anniversary but hey, why not write about it now?

It's "The Flood" by Take That, is from their sixth studio album (Progress) and as I'm sure can be gathered, was released in October 2010. It is the first song Take That released in years with Robbie Williams back as a member of the band.

"The Flood" holds some sentimental value to me because I associate it with my first few months back in this country and coming to grips with its musical artists.

"Blade Runner (End Titles)" - Vangelis

The following song is from a film's end credits:

It's the ending music, composed by Greek musician Vangelis, from Blade Runner, a futuristic dystopian science fiction film from the 1980s - possibly the most notable one from that era. This afternoon, my mother and I were sorting out some more of hers and Dad's CDs when I came across Dad's copy of the soundtrack to Blade Runner, which was Dad's favourite film. I decided to keep the album for nostalgic purposes.

A visit from the East of England

My East of England aunt, uncle and one cousin are here for the night; my other cousin from there and his girlfriend were also here but they recently left to return to their city. For the evening, my aunt and uncle showed us some of their pictures from their visit to Aisa, which they undertook last month and into part of April. I still have to show my grandparents what I took in Poland.

Third and final of a year ago

It was one year ago today when my third and final term of my first college course began. The lesson that day was mathematics and afterwards, several of us went to a presentation about the course most of us are on now, hosted by two of our current teachers. I'm surprised it's been a year even since then - I remember that day like it happened earlier today!

The college interview redux

Do you remember this post two years ago to this date?

Two years since my initial interview at college. Two years. The days when I was applying for college seem as though they happened ages and ages ago. Next up, university!

It was twenty years

This was my evening contribution to Facebook:

"This recent February 7th marked twenty years when my family and I moved to California from the UK; somewhere at the end of February or into March of that year, we moved to a town called Patterson, located near Modesto in CA's Central Valley, a region home to the state's agriculture (and epic heat).

I completely forgot on the day that it had been twenty years, as back on this February 7th I was more concerned about catching up on exercise than I was remembering an anniversary of mine.The day we emigrated seems as though it happened not only in another lifetime but in another universe completely."

Twenty years...such a long time ago.

Songs from 2006, now a decade old

This article materialised in my Facebook feed yesterday evening:

http://www.thehitsradio.com/music/features/10-songs-that-are-ten-years-old-this-year/

I know almost all of those songs but the two that I find the most alarming on that list are Rihanna's "Unfaithful" and Justin Timberlake's "Sexyback". I remember those songs popularity as though it happened a few minutes ago. They're both ten years old now? Wow.
