i think we should do changing tracks just like it is on radio 1 on jo whiley show
if u havent heard of it before It's basically that one song that makes you say: "Without this, my life would be totally different."
So, it could be: "Without this song I would never have met my girlfriend/boyfriend..."
Or: "Without this song I wouldn't have broken my leg, as I tried to breakdance..."
Or: "Without this song I would never have got a job..."
basically a song that was playing on the radio when you there depressed it made you cheer up
if we are allowed post the youtube link so everyone can listen to the song

yea sorry forgot to say that lol
For me, it isn't so much a track but an album and every song off it has the same impact but for the purpose of this post I will choose one song;
Song: If I Could
Album: In Between Dreams (2005)
Artist: Jack Johnson
In January 2006 my Dad found out he had lung cancer, he had been unwell for some months but for some reason wasn't diagnosed until things had got very bad. He was booked an appointment to discuss treatment plans 5 days after his diagnosis and he died the morning of the appointment. I got a phone call at about 2am to get to the hospital asap and he died 10 minutes before I arrived but my brother and Mum had been there. I spent the next few weeks picking up the pieces and trying to hold my Mum together whilst my husband (to be) helped hold me together. This album was in my car the whole time and as a result I couldn't then listen to it without thinking of the hardest and most challenging time of my life.
Later that year I was flattered to be asked to be present at the birth of my best-friends baby along with her fiance. Alongside my wedding, this was the best day of my life so far. To be present when Charlie was born was just breathtaking and as my friend had a few complications immediately after having him he was handed over to me whilst her fiance looked after her. I sat there for 30 minutes holding this tiny baby in my arms whilst the hustle and bustle of the doctors doing their work went on around me. A few hours later when everything had calmed down we were sitting in the hospital room with music playing from my friend's ipod. This album came on and I picked up Charlie and danced with him.
For those that don't know the particular song I have referred to I thought I would include the lyrics of one of the verses;
Down the middle drops one more
grain of sand
They say that
new life makes losing life easier to understand
Words are kind
they helped ease the mind
of this, my old friend
And though you gotta go
we'll keep a piece of your soul
What goes out
What goes in
Suddenly the meaning of the album changed for me, it wasn't just one that reminded of the bad times, but also the good... I can now listen to it and smile, albeit a tear in my eye, but never quite sure if it is a happy tear or a sad one!
im so sorry to hear about your dad that must have been really hard for you and your family and its a great song thanks how old is charlie now
And i think its one of the reasons me and my boyfriend started going out, cause before we started going out we used to chat loads on msn and send each other songs and stuff we liked and cause both of us liked the Cure it sorta put things in motion i think
After one of those massively in depth yet full of random bollocks conversations you have with someone at silly times in the early hours, when completely sober. When not so much pouring you heart out, but pouring out your soul. You discover that you and this other person have the same song playing, and your both listening to the lyrics, it becomes your favourite song for both of you, and whenever you hear it or have it stuck in your head it reminds you of the aforementioned person. This person being someone that could turn your head and give you butterflies even after not seeing or thinking about them for years, someone who just changed the way you looked at things in life, and made you more of a complete person over all.
Thats my changing song.
It was very hard as I was only 23 at the time but you learn so much from these times in your life...
Charlie will be 3 in September and his baby sister is due at the beginning of August!
The title (Von) translates as hope.
It never fails to bring a tear to my eye but it makes me feel good.
It's a great song to listen to when everything else around me seems to be falling apart.
I can't really explain how it helps me, but it does.
The Fat Contoller - In Complete Darkness.

From then on in I was a raver and my life took a different direction. ESP bomberjackets, record bags, forest parties and raves and drugs. Most of my close mates I met through the rave scene and from sharing such experiences.
Also, I hate Jo Whiley.
I still haven't seen that film, but I'm gonna buy it now. I love all the videos on youtube of random, slightly bemused looking audiences.
Or maybe not, since it's apparently out of stock everywhere.
i love their video's!
As in Sigur Ros: Heima film?

This just reminds me of the best times with my ex boyfriend, i would like to think we will get back together one day, he is the only person i've even been out with who 'gets' me ( and this was 3 years ago we split up) and more tellingly, he is the only person i feel comfortable being angry with (which is a huge problem for me)
it's comforting though this song
