I wonder how much that exact context - at a club, coffee shop, travelling, walking by a store - is part of what makes us fall in love with songs. I can remember the exact open air bar in Lisbon that I first heard a favourite song, the exact furniture shop in Berlin where I heard another. One particular song brings back the night time walk round San Francisco where I first heard it, another contours up the lazy summer the poolside lunch on a Greek island where I heard another. There are very few that I remember that don’t have a context of people, time or place.
