What Does Music Mean To You?

Music can mean so many different things to people.  It can make us happy, sad, thoughtful, bring back good times, bad times, trigger particular memories or feelings. 
A few weeks ago we had a meeting where we each shared music that meant something to us.  It was a really interesting evening and a great way of getting to know each other as the group has really grown this term.  

What really struck me was how brave people were with their choices.  People shared music that had been played at the funerals of loved ones, pieces that made them think of siblings, pieces that had had got them through hard times when they were being bullied or feeling down, and pieces that reminded them of special friends.  

I really enjoyed getting a little insight into the rest of the group through this activity, and also getting to know some music I'd not heard before.

What piece of music would you pick to talk about?
