Music is about memories. It’s as much about the song you heard as it's about where you heard it. Even though the blog is titled Radiodays (I grew up with the influence of radio), it's about music and where it takes you. Here are a bunch that still take me back to a dusty road or a rainy afternoon back home. Please feel free to contribute your songs with links and a brief description of where it takes you when you hear it.

Govinda
You think it’s a fusion Indian band song when you hear it at a friend’s work place. While waiting for him to finish work so you can go for a pint downstairs, you see the name and the album cover, which almost confirm your suspicion till your friend, who’s back now, says it’s an English band. Surprised, you look at all the songs on the list, and discover a lot Indian influence both in the names and the music. It’s got a nice sound that stays with you even after a couple of Stellas at the regular watering hole down by the river. You jot down the name of the band and the album on the back of the receipt as you leave. You’ll get it the next time you’re in a CD shop.
