Lately, this means A Northern Chorus, Bjork, Ben Harper, Thom Yorke, and Wilco. There's something about laying flat in a dark room with the window open, letting in enough wind to cool and sooth the most delicate and trying of emotions.

But when is it that a song becomes a part of you?

• when the words are known?
• when the song links you to a memory of significance?
• when it becomes the soundtrack to a particular moment?
