Songs that have affected you
 

Well I dont know about you guys but there is a song that has really effected me

Something for Kate - Monsters

Really pulled me out of a ****spot in my life...although they may sound weird its true...so anyone else have any songs like this...?

I think the song that I can't get sick of and I love so much, and was like my anthem lol a few years ago is Karma Police by Radiohead.

I think thats completely fantastic :)

If you really want to feel something - goto fionajoy.com and listen to the piano of this Australian artist.

The Misfits "Fiends Club" & "Last Caress" warped my mind now im who i am today.

the song that has effected me alot is "Breaking The Habit"-Linkin Park
that song has alot of meaning

Family by Malignus Youth, when the weight of the world seems to be on my shoulders, this song always keeps my feet on the ground.

As cheesey as it sounds, the song Konstantine by Something Corporate effects me sometimes :-S
Mainly depending on the mood I'm in at the time of listening

i say this every single time and its a cliche but ****it- its affected me.
radiohead- creep

also:
radiohead- 2+2=5
BRMC- head up high
BRMC- suddenly

and a lot of beatles songs

'Lost Cause' by Beck. Sure it's a song about never being able to shag Winona Ryder again, but blimey. Any man can empathise with that.

oh man. "Mother" by John Lennon. I cried when I first heard the end of that song when he's screaming. poor guy.

Lookin' Down the Barell of a Gun by the Beastie Boys.
It makes me believe that I'm right and kickass. Which probably isn't true.

freedom - RATM

Coma White by Marilyn Manson

Have i told you lately by van morrison, this was played at my dad's funeral and it still sets me off sobbing today, great song.

there have been so many that have...I can't name them all.

Man Over ~ Robinella & the CCStringband

A stark Delta Blues song about a man who loses his battle with alcoholism. It tells me how my life would have been, had I not stopped drinking. I hold it near.

Time Will Pass You By - Tobi Legend.

Everytime I hear this song it reminds me of how short life is.
It reminds me of family members lost and the friends that never made it.

...life is just a precious minute baby,
open up your eyes and see it baby,
give yourself a better chance because,
time will pass you by...

for future refrence the word is affect.

affect is to change in someway were effect is the result of an action

Bridge To Solace - These Maps Are Written In Blood.
amazing song about self-sacrifice and giving your all to achieve what you want.

i didnt know what it meant when i first heard it but man i was scared by it - i didnt sleep for a week, the way it builds up and gets louder and faster and louder and faster *shudders* very scary

also the first ever Who song i heard - I Can See For Miles, once id heard that i knew that they were the band for me

Warning by Incubus -
Gone by Jack Johnson
Jane Says by Janes Addiction
Going to California by Led Zeppelin

Billy Austin by Steve Earle: Made me re-think my views on capitol punishment

If You Ever Did Believe by Stevie Nicks: I know what it is like to want something that badly

Johnny Come Lately by Steve Earle: Speaks of the heroism of the WWII vets and the warm reception upon their arrival home, and then belts you in the face with a Vietnam vet returning home to no one. Pointed out a severely grave injustice to me

Funky Beat - Whodini opened my eyes to hip-hop

Beatbox - Art of Noise

Genius of Love - Tom Tom Club

The Damed - Plasmatics (combination of the song & the video)

the old program Night Flight, in general

The entire Opiate CD
Scarlett Bugonias - Sublime

11 y 6 - Fito Paez (latin singer)

Radiohead - Let Down

Seeing as this (in my opinion) is the pinnacle of Ok Computer's melancholy. It actually brought me to tears and it still scares me the emotional value this song has.

Can - Halleluhwah

My first ever experience of Tago Mago was in my bed, in the dark and through headphones. This song just completely blew me away (much like the album).It felt as though it was actually breaking my brain in two.

This song gave me the idea of moving back to a town where I had cooler friends, as soon as I did, I met my fantastic girlfriend of 3 and a half years!
THANKS BOWIE!

Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees

and the whole of Tool's Aenima

Iris- Goo Goo Dolls, means something to anyone in love

Adam's Song- Blink 182
Killing in the Name- Rage Against the Machine
Distance- Cake
Hanginaround- Counting Crows
Zombie- The Cranberries

Do You Still Taste Or
Are You Thinking Of Are You Thinking Of Me?
With Your Lips Pressed Tightly Up Against His Skin
Does Your Body Still Scream My Name?
Does Your Body Still Scream My Name?

stairway to heaven
 

Stairway To Heaven..wow...where should I start, the song itself? the lyrics?
the softness of the song in the beginning and how it slow starts to get a lil heavier.....and well....its the first song I learned to play on guitar so it holds a special place in my heart.
