Everyone, or perhaps most people, fall in love with something or someone. Literally, they fall head over heels and float on Cloud 9. It causes goosebumps and strokes the heartstrings with a unique melody. There’s no reason or logic to it, other than that one must have have it. It’s the sound of that Mustang revving its engine at the stoplight. It’s the way a sun sets in the distance while gazing from atop a hill. It’s the smile of an attractive person from across a crowded room.
Today we’re celebrating “National First Love Day”, that thing that grabs your eyes’ attention and stills your beating heart. I’ll be playing tracks from video games that gave me my first love: a lone teenager traveling separate worlds, a player seeking answers about a friend in a coma, and a visiting Traveler to a new world. I also have covers and remixes along with this original tracks.
As you listen to these tracks and their covers or remixes, perhaps you’ll consider some video games with which you fell in love for one reason or another…
