Music Always Says Something To Me

Sometimes, music I listen to says something to me. Take Bluey, The Dumping Ground and CBBC, How To Train Your Dragon and Sesame Street and Sesame Workshop. Each piece of music reminds me dearly of something.
Bluey - Riptide & I'm Yours
These songs remind me of Bluey because it always brings Summer in on a cloudy and cold day. When you tune into Disney Junior, Bluey can bring you pure childhood Summer.
The Dumping Ground/CBBC - The Mission Soundtrack & Song From A Secret Garden
When I first heard the soundtrack for The Mission after seeing Mike's final episode as careworker at Ashdene Ridge, I thought the Dumping Ground had ended for good, so I imagined the music conjured up an image of Mike's ghost reminding Mitchell Tanner of the joy he and his friends brought to CBBC throughout 2013-2019, ala the famous Mufasa's ghost scene in The Lion King, before Tracy Beaker arrives and comforts Mitchell. Luckily today, the Dumping Ground wasn't ending yet, but now that May-Li has left the DG, the Dumping Ground will be set to change for the 2020's.

How To Train Your Dragon - Chapters
I was attached on both Dreamworks' How To Train Your Dragon franchise and the role the TV series played on CBBC last decade, so whilst watching How To Train Your Dragon: Homecoming and How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World on Sky One last Christmas, I realized that a piece of music from the Disney film 'Christopher Robin' reminded me of how much Hiccup has grown up over the years, the success of the original books and the franchise and a secret hidden scene in 'Homecoming' where Hiccup and his friends and their dragons celebrate Hiccup's birthday before he shares a heartfelt moment with Toothless.
Sesame Street & Sesame Workshop - Light The Night
I'm just reminded of Sesame Street's worldwide impact and all of Sesame Workshop's works, including Dragon Tales.
