One song that genuinely changed your life

[Ste1969]

Simple minds- dont you forget about me

Wouldn't say it changed my life, but did a lot of travelling around europe years ago going to see them in concert, and meeting some great people.

Not sure any song has changed my life but "Maggie Mae" was the song that started my love affair with music.

Casey Jones-Grateful Dead

Atmosphere - on the Peel Festive 50 in 1980, certainly changed my life.

Also, Ways to be Wicked by Lone Justice on Laser 558 in Summer '85 started a life long obsession.

 

[Carstairs]

Sussudio

But it's too traumatic to talk about, now that Phil's gone

 

[Ifwecouldjust.......]

Hearing Rat Race by the Righteous Brothers Band as I walked down the steps into The Pendulum club in Manchester for the first time....started me on a journey and love of Northern Soul that took me all over the UK and into a culture and lifestyle that will never be recreated again

 

[Bill Walker]

I remember hearing I Am The Walrus when I was 15

it was like fucking hell, anything is possible

it really was outrageous in its day

 

[robinhood CITY]

Happy Birthday

 

[BimboBob]

Wanted Dead or Alive - Bon Jovi.


I remember sitting on a ferry, just leaving Portsmouth heading for Cherbourg, watching the docks slowly disappear whilst this song was on my walkman. I was about to bugger off for a few weeks, which turned into a year and a bit, back packing around Europe and I felt the songs lyrics captured the moment.

Well the only one i can think of that genuinely changed my life was Whatever you want-Quo. This led to a conversation at the juke box which led to marriage which led to 2 children and 6 grandchildren. Probably saved my life along the way as i was on about 16 pints a night 7 days a week at the time.
