Every Tuesday, we dedicate this segment to the songs that bring you right back to a very specific time in your life - first love, exams, moving out from home, backpacking around the world, nights out, nights in, going to college, bad jobs, falling in love, falling out of love, weddings and babies.
For coming on the show and sharing your Milestone Music Moment, we'll send you a lovely momento of your story. You will receive all the elements of the tale - the date, lyrics of the song and more, all on a beautifully finished poster for you to treasure.
This week's Milestone was brought to us by Conor Murphy in Co.Cork, with a song which always brings him back to South Africa in 1997.
Back in the day, Conor was in-between college courses and decided to head to Cape Town to experience something a little different. His girlfriend at the time, Aislinn was working full time at home so couldn't make the trip, but they came up with with a great way to stay in touch, and keep the romance alive.
Love letters, and telephone calls were the mode of communication, but it was Conor's idea which sparked a beautiful memory. A new movie had just been released, so he thought they should watch it the same day and compare notes after. Lots of fun ensued, but the main result was a love story, and eventual wedding.
"Young Hearts Run Free" by Kym Mazelle is the song from the movie which transports him right back to 'that' moment in time - the perfect milestone!
If you've a milestone of your own, we'd love to hear all about it. Email your story to breakfast@todayfm.com
