Countless songs from the '70s and early '80s remind me of houses we lived in, either from records my father played, or when they were hits on the radio.

Right now I'm listening to Blur's Parklife album. It always reminds me of my first trip to Katoomba, NSW in October '03. That was just after I'd found out I had AS, and was conversing with and meeting fellow Aspies for the first time. Why Parklife? After all, it deals with life in suburbia, which I was escaping from! Well, it was the last CD I'd bought, just a couple of days before embarking on this trip.

A friend of mine who lived in Katoomba at the time offered to put me up for a few nights. I fell in love with the town immediately, and over my two nights' stay felt quite at home there. Katoomba has a charming, bohemian feel, and I felt relaxed and free to be myself - a stark contrast to soulless, conformist Brisbane. Hence that album conjures up fond memories quite vividly.

Yes this is one of the reasons I am TOTALLY OBSESSED with music I have trouble expressing my emotions but music sets them free, I love any music that gives me goose bumps or makes me weep with joy and I am constantly searching for more.
It calms me down when I'm stressed or when I’ve had a meltdown, my whole world feels right and everything is in order when I listen to my music, I am so crazy about it (have been my whole life) that I simply can't understand people who say they don't like music????? That view is completely and utterly alien to me.

I like good lyrics but it’s the music that really captivates me, it says things to my soul and takes me to places that words could never express.

I honestly don’t think I couldn't exist without it.


I'm exactly the same - to the extent that i will often find a song or poem to explain my feelings to family and friends. I find that it is an easier way to express myself. Some good instrumental songs have felt like full conversations to me and can move me to tears.

My husband really likes this song too, we danced to it at our wedding.
