whats your favouirte colour jellybean
 

the name of this thread is a inside joke.. but hell its funny
anyways

i want you to name that ONE song that changed your life.. even if a million songs changed your life.. which one did it first, and why..

i really want to see the reasons why a SONG can change someone's life.

Hell i can't even remember the first ten that changed my life.

Come to think of it, music hasn't really changed my life at all, I just thoroughly enjoy it.

Johnny Cash - I Walk The Line

that song i hated it so much, and i wanted to hear anything, something other then elvis or Johnny Cash, so when my father started to play more and more Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin,etc... begain my love for rock music thus leading to all the bands i love now :D

Lol, and I'm someone in on this joke, because I was about to go crazy with the coincidence of this thread if it was real!

Song: Judas Priest - Coming Under Fire

Because this was one of the first songs that got me into this band, and metal in general. I remember it being the song that made me feel an adrenilian rush, gave me chills.

Another couple of songs that worked me up was: Sash - Stay; U2 - With Or Without You; Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit; Crandberries - Zombie; Seal - Kissed By A Rose; Silverchair - Year 2000 (or something like that).

They didn't change my life but influenced my taste in music today.

huh?

I was told something funny about the title of this thread.

aww! ok i get it now.. sorry took a while, its 6am here.. i need sleep..

music is a tool for me....to compliment my mood at that particular time. Sometimes a songs lyrics will just hit me at the right time and right place and at that moment i remember how much i love music's presence. Whether it be inna club when i'm in the mood to get down, or after a break up when i need that one "empowerment" song...being the girl that i am lol...annnnnd of coarse, those lovey dovey songs when you have someone special in your life... or like right now, even tho i'm not a pop fan really...that Natasha Bedingfield "Unwritten" song....

"I Am Unwritten, Can't Read My Mind, I'm Undefined
I'm Just Beginning, The Pen's In My Hand, Ending Unplanned
Staring At The Blank Page Before You, Open Up The Dirty Window
Let The Sun Illuminate The Words That You Could Not Find
Reaching For Something In The Distance
So Close You Can Almost Taste It
Release Your Inner Visions
Feel The Rain On Your Skin
No One Else Can Feel It For You
Only You Can Let It In
No One Else, No One Else
Can Speak The Words On Your Lips
Drench Yourself In Words Unspoken
Live Your Life With Arms Wide Open
Today Is Where Your Book Begins
The Rest Is Still Unwritten"

As i get older :::sighs::: these type of lyrics become more and more relevant.

I think music/songs/words etc... serve to express. obviously i'm sure. but for me there's never been simply ONE song that mattered more than another...it all depends on where i am at the moment, and what mood is present at that time.

/rant :)

i think sevendust-black rlly got the wheels turning in my head

A Perfect Circle - 3 Libra's. It was just a sorta sad song at first but then it became really connected with a specific person and I understood it completely and it sorta gets me teary eyed to hear it.

unfortunately, the first song that changed my life is a little pathetic. fat lip-sum 41. before i heard that song i was still in my "OMGZ! NSYNC! BEE ESS BEE!" stage. so to me, that was a rock song & the only one i liked at the time. that song got me into sum 41 in general & the rest is history i 'spose. other songs that made a little dent in the timeline of amanda:

new found glory-singled out
armor for sleep-car underwater
relient k-who i am hates who ive been
the ataris-summer 79
good charlotte-change (blech)
new found glory-the story so far
new found glory-sonny (sensing a pattern?)
plain white ts-radios in heaven
smile empty soul-with this knife

"I want you"- Bob Dylan
makes me love my baby more :love:

Nirvana - Smell Like Teen Spirit

Because this song open my eyes. I really start to listen to music seriously after I heard that song.

Plain White T's - A Lonely September

Because I heard it at the exact same time that I lived a similar story to the one in the song.

Pink FLoyd - Brick in the Wall

interesting, so how did "Brick in the Wall" change your life.
also which song are you talking about? there are two.. and i'm sure by "Brick in the Wall" you mean, Another Brick in the Wall part II and or I either way, go more in depth with that, i'm eger to know how Another Brick in the Wall changed yet another persons life.

Actually it`s in 3 parts :p:

good job a real pink floyd fan :love: jk

Or at least I would be if they`d retired in 1978

the shins new slang. cause it convinced a girl to make out with me.

the eagles - hotel california, one of, if not the first thing i ever learnt to play and at the time it felt awsome to play so i started learning other things and really got into guitar, if i hadn't been taught that song by my uncle i might not have become a musician.

brand new - the quite things that no one ever knows.

its what made me have the guts to keep going, to keep me hoping I would be with my boyfriend that I have now.

and well here we are.. its changed my life forever..crazy.

Close To The Edge was a pivotal song for me. :D

Ah, been so many, I can't remember most, but:
Death-"Pull The Plug". Friend of mine played that when I was younger, I was hooked. Up until then, I had very little experience with death/heavy metal past Metallica and such. Best part is, he gave me the tape as collateral for loaning him 10 bucks...he never payed me back, hehe.
Also, I distinctly remember the video for Slayers "War Ensemble". I think that's the song that made me want to play drums, even though I'll never be that good.:(

mines was hello goodbye by the beatles. my teacher had us sing it to primary sevens and it was amazing. i started getting into the beatles which led to 60's then 70's and ledto what i am now. and halo- soil because my ex listens to it and she gave me a copy and it was amazin

This is going to be hard... I have had a short life filled with crap music (that I enjoyed at the time) so it's hard to pick a song that changed my life. Hmm...

Van Morrison-Brown Eyed Girl

I don't know why it changed my life, but it's the first song that I can remember that I totally loved. My Dad used to play it in his car when I was little and we'd both sing along to it, so I suppose it changed my life because it gives me many good memories and allows the link between music and my happiness to be bound even closer.

Hmmm, I never actually looked at this thread because of the title. But it's actually quite interesting.

One major song.....
Probably Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

It's the first song I remember hearing from my Dad's vinal collection and it just amazed me and turned me to music.

Another would be Supertramp - Bloody Well Right

Because it was the first time I heard curse words and music. Revalational moment. :)

hmm. tough one

id have to say...

Dont Panic, by coldplay.

considering coldplay is a rather newsish band from the last few years.. I can only imagine you being like what 12? anyways if not then please inlighten me and tell me/us why it took so long for you to find a song that changed your life? if not, and its too personal then fine.. but you made such a weird/intersting post I had to question it.

Wtf does age have to do with this...

what does coldplay being a new band have to do with anything? you said Brand New, if i read that correctly, which if im also correct again, is just as recent as coldplay. every song has a different impact on everyone. and by the way, i think its quite funny that you said i was 12, im not the one with spelling issues here sweet heart. "inlighten" is spelled ENLIGHTEN. the reason that song changed my life is because the lyrics are outstanding, it brings a whole new meaning to my day.

all this coming from someone who acquired their music taste from their boyfriend?

Let me explain. The first song that changed my life was a song by Johnny Cash. I guess I'd just expect an older song from the 90's or 80's 70's or and even the 60's etc.. to have changed your life before the band coldplay even came about. Know what I mean now?

I said Brand New later on cause its the newist song/band to have changed my life.

If it seemed like I was jumping all over you then I'm sorry, cause I didn't mean to come off that way.. maybe if I put !!!!! everywhere I would have come off surprised as I was.

My spelling.. msdhfshdjfjsh is because I have have spelling problems, and I've said this before.

most of the music I listen to I foudn myself, on th einternet and just by buying ramdon un heard of cds. Also by hearing some of my friends cd's got me into alot of msuic. Such as my boyfriend he has also gotten me into many bands, good bands at that. Whats wrong with that? I also got into alot of music because of my parents.. I think I got into most of music becasue of other peoples taste in bands, there cd's caught me. I think most people hear things and like things they hear in stores, from friends, on the radio, on the internet.. it just happens that way.. don;'t you think?

and because of the newer song I was just joking by saying you must be 12.

yeah. sorry, it came out the wrong way i guess.

not everyone gets their musical taste from stores and mainstream media.

I don't. Most of the bands i listen to aren't mainstream here. the last time I listened to a mainstream band was Panic at the disco.. *cough*, but thats because I heard them on the interent and liked one there songs because it was up beat and catchy.. But I wouldn't disclose a bands becuase there mainstream but most bands I like aren't, but if they go mainstream and they still have there sound then I would still have interest in them just not liek it was before.

lucky for me I live in Canada so most of the music I listen to isn't mainstrem here, and if it is, it wouldn't matter because I don't watch the music tv stations, nor do i listen to the radio.

Probably Tool - Parabola
I used to be into all that crappy nu-metal crap then I heard this song, so I bought a Tool album and it grew on me like crazy. I idolised Maynard, still do I guess. Heard Maynard was in a band 'A Perfect Circle'. Bought 'Thirteenth Step'. Thought 'What the hell have I just bought? This is boring' but listened to it anyway cause it cost me $20. After about a week I realised that it was freaking sweet, so I greatly expanded my music tastes.

Basically Parabola was the gateway out of crap music
