Giant’s Causeway, Ireland by Dariusz W

CONFESSION:

I'm taking a music history class and we're currently studying 80's music. My professor uses videos as part of their discussion. So when  this video from this band called a  Flock of Seagulls came on, I unintentionally blurted out "Its the Storm Coast" because it was filmed at the Giant's Causeway. My professor remarked  that it was good name for the place.  After class another student came up to me. She smiled and said "I played Dragon Age Inquisition too."  And we're going out for coffee this weekend.
