Music Game in anticlimatic

What’s a song that is special to you because of a memory attached to it, and what was the memory?

I’ll go first:

It’s summer 2008 about 3:30 am and all is quiet in the Perry Hotel. I was working night audit as the only staff member on duty for the full house of four stories, three elevators, and two wings of the early 1900s building. It had been an hour since I last saw a guest stumble up to their rooms, drunk and fully spent on the day that I alone lingered in. I was listening to this song on my new ipod in the rose garden while paperwork was printing, smoking cigarettes and star gazing- my mind on my current girlfriend of 4 years as well as the woman I was actually in love with at the time. It was a special inflection point of an evening for me- a memory light house of my peak young adult musings. Always brings to mind the thick dark green leaves moving in the summer breeze below the street lights and the smell of roses.
