Today I went to Santouka ramen shop for dinner with some friends. It is a busy, noisy place with some Norah Jones songs playing in the background. Not the kind of music you usually find in places like this, right?

And suddenly, our of nowhere I heard an old, timeless jazz tune that I used to love. "A remark you made" by Weather Report. For most songs, I am drawn to the lyrics first, then the music. I guess for masterpieces like this, words are redundant.

And once this song ended, Ms. Jones was back with her sultry voice. The ramen was good. The company was even better. But that song, making a surprise appearance like that, really needs a special mention.
