The Great Gatsby
T.S.Eliot- The Love Song of J.Alfred Prufrock+ Burnt Norton+ The Wasteland
Lana Del Rey- Chelsea Hotel No.2
If that's the song I suspect it is, you should have a listen to the original. Leonard Cohen. It's about Janis Joplin.
Also, it hasn't changed my life but at the moment Young and Beautiful by Lana Del Rey is one I listen to a lot when down.
I met Jacqueline Wilson when I was 10ish, she told me she loved my outfit and would dress a character like that in a book one day haha! I can't remember what top I had on, but I had a purple silky skirt, with stripy tights and converse.
(bit off topic, sorry helen!)
I read Flowers in the Attic when I was young. It was very hard hitting, but was one of my favourite books at the time.

Great song.
" So I say thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing, thanks for all the joy they're bringing, who can live without it, I ask in all honestly what would life be? Without a song or a dance, what are we? So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me "
'' It's a beautiful day and I can't stop myself from smiling "
I don't think it changed my life, but it got me thinking.

Can't believe that was 10 years ago...
It's heart breaking...but also highlights so many important things about friendship and how we perceive ourselves v how others see us.
Got me into dance music and ravin. This led me into the drug scene later on, and all this probably had a big effect on who I am today.
