Nostalgic music linking to games

[poisonedcon]

Have you ever listened to a specific song while gaming and you hear the song years after you stopped playing, making your mind wanders to that moment in the game?

I only bring this up cause Kid Cudi brought me back to Howling Fjord. >_<

I actually have a few of these memories.

Devo reminds me of Age of Mythology because of all of the nights I'd spend in bed reading the guide while listening to devo.


this song reminds me of Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced 2 because of the time I spent playing this game while Led Zepplin 3 was playing in the background.


this song reminds me of 9 hours 9 persons 9 doors because when I played through the game, I was in a KMFDM phase and this song is the same length as the time it takes to auto-scroll through the early game exposition dump scene.

Any song from Queen makes me think back to when I beat Ocarina of Time. I was 9 years old. I didn't wanna stop playing, and I didn't wanna leave Hyrule. My dad was listening to lots of Queen at the time, and I had never heard Bohemian Rhapsody until that moment. It's gotten so bad that at this point, most classic rock music reminds me of Ocarina of Time. If I even THINK of Queen, I'll reach for my 3DS and turn on OoT3D.

Shiina Ringo/Tokyo Jihen really reminds me of Yakuza. Besides the fact that she's Japanese, her jazz/rock styling with Tokyo Jihen gives me a feeling that the Yakuza games emulate really well: That sort of elating feeling of "going out for a night on the town."


Sometimes she also sounds sleazy and "noir" to me, reminding me that Kabukicho is a place with a million stories of fortunes and lives made and lost every day, and looks equally best and worst at night.


Her more bombastic stuff will remind me of the melodrama of the stories.


On a side note, "Cum on Feel the Noize" by Quiet Riot reminds me of both GTA: Vice City and Diablo. I played Diablo with the sound off a lot as a kid so I could listen to whatever music I wanted. For some reason I really liked that song...

As soon as I hear these I think of San Andreas
The first two specifically make me think of the Hydra fighter jet
