Music Banter - View Single Post - Songs that just sound better at a certain time of day/place

I have noticed that you can only get the full force and full meaning of some songs when you play them in a certain place or at a certain time of day.

For instance,
I ride the bus everyday for 45 minutes to get to school. We drive through many miles of country roads, and during this time, the sun is just coming up. I played the song "Can't You See" by The Marshall Tucker Band the other day on my bus ride and it sounded like a completly different song that when I listened to it the night before. The flute, the guitar, and his voice fit so well with my morning bus route, the sun coming up, getting ready to start the day, I could never listen to it again at any other time until I was on the bus going to school.

Here are a few others that have had this effect on me.

In the dead quiet of a dark room at night these songs have so much more IMPACT

1. The Wind Cries Mary - Jimi Hendrix
2. Long Nights - Eddie Vedder
3. Red Headed Stranger - Willie Nelson

How about all of you?
I want to know what songs you guys feel sound best when/where.
