Welcome to Blue Monday Moment
What is a Blue Monday Moment?
We all have songs are etched into our minds as they are linked to a certain special moments in your life. Some of these songs remind you of that particular moment in time that was especially memorable. It can be a song that was playing when a lover left you or good memory, like the tune that summed up your wedding day. It can be whenever you hear that song, you're back with the first girl you kissed or going to a party with all your best friends. So that when you think about it, your whole life can become scenes from a movie; the good scenes, the bad scenes, the happy scenes, the sad scenes, the silly scenes, all of them scored to a selection of songs. It's like no one can hear “In Your Eyes,” without picturing John Cusack holding a beatbox in the pouring rain or hear “Oh Yeah!” without seeing Fry & Cameron in his father’s garage or any scene from nearly any Tarantino film.
For me, one of my most vivid musical memories is about the first time I heard the song Blue Monday by New Order & that memory means a lot to me. Every time I hear that song, I’m back in 1983, in that 6th Form Common Room with all my school friends, staring at that tatty brown record player with its raffia speaker, listening to that amazing song for the very first time. So that's a Blue Monday Moment & that’s the idea powering this site.
So we want to hear about your Blue Monday Moments, the songs that mean the most to you. Tell us about those songs and the stories that go with them, that are part of the soundtrack to you, the music that has made your life what it is, for better or for worse. All your own Blue Monday Moments.

Recently I managed to get my hands on a proper car for the first time in a long time. Convertible, six cylinder, manual, nice....
So I decided to take it for a hoon early on a Sunday morning before I had to give it back. Now, round where I live there are some major roadworks and despite it being 6.00am I was stuck behind some sandwich truck as I trundled through the average speed limit when this came on the Ipod.
And at exactly 0:51 when it all goes loud was exactly when I cleared the road works, dropped it down a couple of gears, bye Mr Sandwich Van in a roar of exhaust noise.
Oh I remember now, that's why I like fast cars. And very large grin for the rest of the day.
Just now, Blue Monday Moment will mostly be listening to...
