7-Day Wayback Music Challenge: Day 7 - Galvanize
I remember the day (Tuesday 10), the month (October), the year (2006), heck even the time (20:09), when my sister - not @alinak15 but the other who's not on Steemit and is a lawyer too - was calling me to happily announce to me that I had graduated from the Law University of Athens.
I was in Mallios MMA Gym taking a shower after sparring, so I didn't pick up the phone the first time. I didn't pick it up on the second and third time either.
When I eventually picked it up (it was the fourth time, 20:09 as I already mentioned), I heard my sister almost shouting at me: "Why don't you pick up the phone, fool? You passed your last exam...Just checked it out. Congratulations! You're officially a lawyer now!!!!!!"
I can't describe the satisfaction and relief I felt when I first heard such news, but I can tell you that Galvanize by Chemical Brothers was the song playing loudly in the gym as I was heading out to go get my motorcycle (I had a red Gilera DNA 180cc back then).
My last exam was on "Εφαρμογές του Διεθνούς και Ευρωπαϊκού Δικαίου" (Composition of International and European Law), one of Law's largest (over 7,500 pages of studying) and most complicated exams in my opinion.
So, since this challenge was about our high-school and University years, I couldn't find a better way to close this chapter with the song that marked and pretty much ended my academic "career."
Well, an 18-month period of my Master's Degree followed, but it wasn't the same. Not to me at least. I wasn't even feeling as a student during my Master's, as I was being a trainee lawyer at the same time.
Anyway, a big thank you to @mariossap for nominating me as I TRULY enjoyed this awesome challenge. Thanks to everyone who voted, enjoyed and read my posts during the past seven days.
I Really Appreciate You ALL :)))))
God Bless You!!!!

This is a very nice challenge. It almost does not matter the music itself as much as we can to get to know each other better. However, the music that we love describes us or our condition. I could not say that Galvanize is a song that I like or I'm used to, but I have to admit it gives out a great energy. I think it's your character! I allowed myself to comment because I was also nominated by @mariossap who had the goodwill to allow me access to this community.
Never heard of that group or song before but the music and the videography are sick.
The intro of the song that repeats throughout the track and has a bit of an Arabic sound to it, reminds me of a Greek song...or a lot of Greek pop music from 1999-2009...
Chemical Brothers are quite legendary, bro! British electronica duo that was particularly big during the mid-90s and early 00s. They were quite popular in the US as well. From what I see they had a couple of gold records there and won 4 Grammy awards

The name doesn’t ring a bell... but I will be doing some acoustical research.
Damn...what a song man....
Brings back so many memories...I even used to have this as a ringtone at some point...
And to be honest it is a bit underestimated song...should have hit music's trending page at that time!(unless it did,which i don't really remember)
Just classy
Chemical Brothers are underestimated in general (I consider them superior to Daft Punk even though I am part French lol), especially in the American market. Oh well...
