So its Saturday and random thinking time!
I was just in the shower and thinking what my all time most influential or profound songs so here are my top 5 (in no particular order): -
Frou Frou - Let Go
It is easily my favourite song above any other. I'm not sure why really - it just forms the perfect mix of a song for me and the lyrics somehow seem quite poignant for me. It tells me that I do need to let go at times.
Alanis Morissette - So Pure
I think this song's theme runs along a similar sort of lines as Let Go. It has again told me that I do need to let go and go with the flow. Specifically regarding my confidence in clubs and dancing and stuff.
Eva Cassidy - Fields of Gold
Well for those that know me fairly well they know what this song signifies. It is probably the most emotional song that I know. My dad and I chose this song for my mum's funeral in 2001 after she died of Cancer. It's a strange song for me as it is both uplifting and deeply upsetting - so it all depends on what mood I'm in when I listen to it (though to be honest I can't listen to it very often).
Feeder - Tell All Your Friends
Strange one. This song signifies the Summer of 2001 and leaving Marlborough. It reminds me of my friends there (most of which I've lost touch with) and just that step change from College to Uni.
Santana - Moonflower
This is another Summer song for me. During the summer when my parents would have BBQ's and parties this was almost universally the first song of the night. Such a relaxing song.
They're not necessarily my favourite songs (well bar Let Go which is my favourite song ever), just songs which bring a flood of memories back, good or bad. I'm very much a person that heavily associates songs with memories (to the extent there are a black list of songs which I simply won't listen to because of this).
What are your 5 most influential/profound songs? (and why if you so wish!).
Anyway random Saturday rambliness finished.
