Playing The Elder Scrolls Online DLC/expansion Morrowind has me frequently visiting Vivec City, primarily because it's the only city that I've found in the south (thereby starting area) that has both crafting tables, shops and banks all in a fairly confined space, all within short distance of a wayshrine. That means any time I log in (so, daily), I'll usually spend 10-15 minutes in the often crowded area to fulfill equipment writs and deposit more consumables into the bank so my inventory isn't overflowing with ingredients, 50+ potions, and scrolls.
So with all of that in mind, I hear "Grazelands Dawn" a lot, which is wonderful because it's a gorgeous peace on its own, but one that also integrates "The Road Most Traveled"* from the original Morrowind soundtrack. Yes, both the title of this song, and its integrated homage suits roaming the wilds of Vvardenfell more than it does running between crafting stations and the bank, but I don't really care. Having that little motif crop up at 0:43 and 4:1 while blended seamlessly with the rest of Brad Derrick's composition here brings a little skip to my cockles.
