Meme ganked from riverheart

Total Volume Of Music On My Computer: About 3GB, much of which is stuff that was archived onto my system by someone else, and which I haven't winnowed through to see what's worth keeping.

The Last CD I Bought Was: Fever Dreams and Holding the Space: Fever Dreams II by Steve Roach, as a Yuletide gift for riverheart.

Song Playing Right Now: I don't generally play CDs on my computer at home. Sometimes I'll play a Shoutcast or Live365 stream, usually space music or trance.

Five Songs I Listen To A Lot, or That Mean A Lot To Me:

1. Rush - Bravado
2. Rush - Time Stand Still
3. Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody
4. Phantom of the Opera - Music of the Night
5. Gustav Holst - The Planets, Jupiter Movement

(Okay, the explanations: Bravado is, quite possibly, the theme song of my life; the song's message is that you do what you have to do, face the costs afterward, and love remains. Time Stand Still speaks to my desire to savor the good things in my life, to carve out a moment to reflect and replenish myself. Unchained Melody is Our Song, almost from the first day riverheart and I started seeing each other. Music of the Night used to remind me of someone else, someone I knew years ago; now that riverheart and I have seen Phantom on stage and screen, it too is one of Our Songs. Finally, the Jupiter Movement from Gustav Holst's The Planets is quintessentially British; until Peter Jackson filmed The Lord of the Rings, each of the movements evoked a memorable scene. "Jupiter" was the theme music. That's all.)
