Our youth partly defines us. The memory of the 'first' stays with us. The first love, the first kiss, the first of anything. The first time we experience the pure bliss of music. Therefore we go back to the music which defined our youth.

The music we hear during our years of firsts stays with us. The music playing during our first kiss, our first love, our first heartbreak is tied to our soul.
