“Super Trouper” by ABBA and Brahms’ Requiem are both tied to a very personal event that happend Christmas years ago.
And I’ve got a very profane one: when I first listened to Danny Elfman’s EDWARD SCISSORHANDS, it was Christmas and I had some chocolate covered caramels. To this day I think of chocolate covered caramels when I listen to that score. (Not the worst association, I still like chocolate covered caramels.)
