Man. About 35 years ago when I was young I took over an apartment from a coworker whom had left because our boss was notorious for not having money to cover our paychecks. I was eating buttered rice with salt for dinner for weeks because they were the only three ingredients I had.

The power was shut off but I fell asleep on the carpet and woke up in the middle of the night to that song playing on a battery powered boom box with an electrical storm going on outside.

Made me feel a little less alone.

I love stories like that. There are some songs that stay with you forever simply because of some unusual circumstances when you heard them.
