There's one sound that, despite experiencing it alone, brings me and one friend back in time to when we were teenagers and our friendship first started.

This would play in the game Star Wars Galaxies when it started to rain, I spent _a lot_ of my time on that game just sitting around enjoying the rain and talking with friends. Several of my teenage years and defining moments were spawned from that game, if I had never played it I would be totally unrecognisable to me now. But play that little snippet and it takes me straight back, to both the good times and the bad.

You see, that snippet became bit of a ritual. I accidently found a relief for my depression in my teenage years, I would play a short playlist of three songs which I found would take me through grief to acceptance and a feeling of being in touch with the rest of humanity and it's misery.
