Music Meme

I don’t usually do survey memes, but since this one is passed on to me by the boy, I just have to be a good girlfriend and comply. 🙂

1. What’s the total size of music files on your computer?
Well, my computer is back in my room in Indonesia so I have no way to check. I’m using the boy’s computer while I’m in Canada so I’ll just copy the boy’s answer: approximately 3.2 gigabytes of music.

2. What is the last CD you bought?
Oh gosh, I really don’t know. It’s been ages since the last time I bought a music CD. The last few CDs I got are gifts from my weblog readers. They bought them off of my Amazon wishlist. I do have the best readers in the world. 🙂 Anyway, I think the last CD I received in the mail from Amazon is The Red Violin: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.

3. What is the last song you listened to before you read this post?
I think it’s Hiding Behind the Moon by Jeff Hanson. I had a dream that night that I went to a restaurant with my late mother and my mother told me that she liked that song and I was like, “But you’ve never heard of that song!” and it’s true because the first time I listened to that song was several months after she died. She just gave me a mysterious smile. I like to think that she was just trying to tell me that she’s still watching me from wherever she is.

4. Name four songs that you listen to a lot or that mean a lot to you.
“Moonriver” means a lot to me because it was the last song my mother ever heard me singing before she died. “The Book of Love” by the Magnetic Fields is pretty much our (the boy’s and mine) song. I love “Circle of Friends” by Edie Brickell because it speaks for me. And finally, “Wise Up” by Aimee Mann, mostly because I like the movie where the song came from, i.e. Magnolia.

5. Which three people are you passing the baton on to and why?
Errr, I don’t know. Whoever wants to do this, I guess. Anyone? Post a comment if you did it! I promise to check it out. 🙂
