Maybe not one that is musicallt profficient, but one that means the most to you, for what-ever reason. This is the song that does it for me, Carl Hall, superb..

never liked the Jams/Paul Wellers version, no doubting the quality of the original though

A bit out of my comfort zone this one, but beautiful..

Sorry for the long story but it's the only way I can explain my love for this song.
I heard about this project that was being done by LCD Soundsystem in collaboration with Nike where they were making an album to supposedly work out to, I did some digging out of curiosity as I wanted to know what they had churned out as the majority of DFA records is usually a good listen so I eventually found this white label promo cd that had the first 2 tracks on it, I bought it as a bootleg for £8 and it was a bit sketchy but the second track that builds up from the initial space sound just beamed me, what a fucking record and I pre ordered the big double gate album "45:33", when it arrived it was without doubt the best thing music wise I had bought in years but purely for track 2.
I was going through a really intense and shite breakup at the time with someone who I had a son with, she was a complete nutcase and after every visit I'd go back to my apartment and I'd play this and it would just smooth itself out, this record is just my son all over, from the first strike of the piano that fades in low and slow I would sit there and soak it up and be thankful that I had him.
This was 2006 leading into 2007 and I'd been split up a while now but seeing my son every Monday. Wednesday, Friday and 2 full weekends out of the 4 a month which was great, but as time grew she completely lost the plot and throughout 2007 I went through hell with her to get to see him being attacked with pan's and knives when I went round just complete fucking hell, this record was prominent throughout this and in July 2007 I met Kell purely by chance of me being a bit of a sex pest at the time, I would play her this record and it was part of the start of our relationship and eventual marriage, it was there through the great times and the down times.
In the October I finally told my ex that I was seeing someone else to which she went completely scatty and was referred to doctor's and supposedly put on treatment like anti depressants, there was various thing's going on between the 2 families at this time and I went and started a legal process to gain full time access of my son, when this was going through she then claimed that her deterioration was due to her developing cancer and she only had month's to live, and I was approached by her and her family and asked to finish my new relationship and move back in with her full time until she died and then take hold of my son, bearing in mind I fucking hated this woman and her family and I refused as morally it just didn't sit right with me and I never trusted them, we paid in the end to send her to see a specialist and she refused point blank saying that this was her time.
The one day in early December I had a text from her saying to go up as she had something final to tell me, I refused and I was in Wales anyway, that day on December 9th 2007 she murdered my son and then committed suicide.
We found out at a later stage that in one room she had a large knife laid out which was meant for me, then we found out that she lied to my family and hers and she didn't have cancer as it was a ploy to split me up.
Kell was still living in Cardiff at this time and I needed my own space still, During my darkest time's on my own I would open this record and from that first needle drop I would remember everything that I had with my son, all those precious time's were opened up when I played it, it helped me get out of that place and into a new thinking, it's more than just a record and the emotional attachment I have with it is unrivaled.
It was very much my record now and although I put it in a few home mixtapes during that 2007 I didn't share it anymore I just played it on my own whenever I needed it, I proposed to my wife on valentines day 2008 and decided to move forward take what I had and to build on it, through the build up to my wedding in the August I took a box of records to Wilksy's house in Newport (SoulStylist) and we just took a load of E and played each other the records we had, I had to share this record with him, I'm glad I got the chance as I wouldn't have played it to anybody else, he was hooked on it and I could tell it hit him as hard as it hit me the first time I heard it, that emotional tie I've got with it was now shared and he knew what it meant to me, we played it 36 times in a row 7 minutes each time until his neighbours banged the wall, on that night I took it from just being mine to be able to share it, this was my life on vinyl and I could finally see so much good in it that I could play it and feel the joy in it again as opposed to dwelling on a time that hurt so much.
Over the next year or 2 I started DJ'ing again as it was my focus, my release and my way of doing something in Lewis's memory and pushing something good out of it, which is part of how Boogie Cartel come about, because if I hadn't started playing again I wouldn't be spending all this time with Wilksy and our friends and playing records together putting our night on and once it hit home the importance of all this it was without doubt the best decision I had made since I decided to get married.
Which is why I get so much joy out of playing this record out, it's a continuous source of relief, joy, and above all when I play it, it remind's of how I am where I am today and how playing records with Wilksy opened my life back up to the full extent again.
This record touch's me in places that no woman ever could, and fill's gap's in my heart and soul that nothing else ever could, I played this on new years eve again while out and watching it fill the room with love and seeing Wilksys face beam just put's the icing on the cake of this record.
A long one I know but I wanted to explain why it mean's so much and that the power of music can indeed heal.
If your not into music you won't get this post but if your a music head you'll know what I mean.

I still play this record at least twice a week, it felt good getting that off my chest to explain it properly.
I was going to write a message to James Murphy at some point and try to explain what part his record played in my life but I've never done it and doubt it would get to him anyway.

I will write to James Murphy chap's, I just want him to know what that record has done for someone, I'm sure I'm not the only one. I've got closure on it all Gav I'm not searching for that, I just wanted to write what this record has done for me.

Kenney spot on mate, never underestimate the power of music.
