What was that one time when a song came on at exactly the right moment to match what was happening around you or to you just then?

FIDLAR keeps describing aspects of my life as it’s happening. These four were actual needle drop moments as something big was happening in my real life.
2012 - Wake, Bake, Skate
Minus the skating, this is pretty much what my life was in 2012. My Nexus 4 had mysteriously stopped working as a cell phone (everything else worked fine, but the IMEI was all zeroes), Google was unwilling to RMA it because I didn’t have a spare $300 in my bank account and no credit card, so I was using Skype on it as a primary “phone.” “No Waves” and “5 to 9” also described this time as well.
2015 - Leave Me Alone
Felt this one a lot in 2015. “Stupid Decisions” and “Bad Habits” from the same album also hit hard that year.
2019 - Called You Twice
As my long term relationship started to really fall apart.
2024 - Orange County
I’m not from Orange County nor do I drink, but this easily described the aftermath of the end of the relationship and neither of us being able to move on easily. “Sad Kids,” “Making Shit Up,” “Dog House,” and “I Don’t Want To Do This” from the same album also described this year as well.
Anyway, here I am, surviving the American dream.
