<human>: Concerts, songs cemented in your head forever, music associations that will never leave you. Gimme your stories! Heres mine:

I grew up on a small island (about nine thousand people within 30 square miles) in a very tight knit community. Many of the people I graduated high school with also attended school with me every year from pre-school onwards. In 2009, my friend took his own life in his dorm room. It was incredible shock to everyone around him, he had been studying musical composition happily for two years at a school he loved. We've postulated that this unmeditated was probably a result of some traumatic brain injury sustained previously. 

Anyways, two months after he passed, a concert was organized to showcase his talent and as a way to get together the people who loved him from back home and at his school. The concert was in an [intimate and beautiful concert hall] and lasted about 45 minutes. I had heard all of these compositions previously, but only electronically. I'm fairly certain there wasn't a single dry eye in the house. The final piece of the evening was played by Xian Gao, who is a professor at the school and a violin virtuoso if I've ever heard one. He came on stage and humbly spoke a few words of loss and love, and mentioned that tonight was his birthday, but that he could think of no greater honor than playing in remembrance of our friend. I've honestly got tears running down my face writing this writing about it, but I've never been so moved before. It was more than just a reflection of his life, he was *in* the music. Unfortunately, I've lost several friends and family since I graduated high school, but *never* have I felt so close to them after they'd died. It was like sitting in a room speaking with him, but so much more intense. I can only liken it to what music feels like while tripping on mushrooms, only a hundredfold strong. I wish I could share some of the compositions with you, but there isn't proper copyright on them yet.

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: after my friend took his own life, listening to his musical compositions performed was one of the most intensely beautiful moments of my life. I still hear clips of his music in my head and get serious goosebumps every time.
