What is a song that makes you think of your first job?
There isn't a particular song that reminds me of my first job. But I do remember when I first moved to London, which I suppose was, in a way, for work and trying to get used to how people would sit in deathly silence on the tube. All eyes darting around, scanning the ads above or fixed down in concentration on free newspapers. I just listened to music on a portable CD player the whole time, and one of the records I played a lot was 13 by Blur—in particular No Distance Left to Run, whose lyrics held significance at the time.
