A song that influenced you?

Is there a song that you think has had an effect on you or influenced you? With its lyrics or its melody? I have a few but I think the strongest was Save Me by Avenged Sevenfold. It makes you think. It made me think. x

kerli's songs have influenced me a bit.

Forgotten Children by Tokio Hotel is really deep.
I feel sympathy for the children who lived out on the streets because of that song.

Kerli's songs have influenced me. I still remember when I felt so related and I started to cry.
Some Emilie Autumn songs have also influence me..

butterfly cry i guess it showed that iam not really alone everybody has problems in life........we can get out of them.

Kerli's songs have influenced me..
But the most important song is Bulletproof, because make me feel strang and because I lived something same

kerli of course....Her songs..walking on air is one

Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen.. it's twenty years older than me!
Emilie Autumn's 306 teached me a lot aaand
Thirty Seconds To Mars' songs....
Linkin Park...
Florence And The Machine's You've Got The Love...

I think I forgot somebody....

*grins* KERLI!!!!

Back when I was really depressed, Fully Alive by Flyleaf made me really appreciate what I have. I tend to listen to that song when I'm down because it reminds me that there are people out there who have it worse that I do and still enjoy life, so I should be grateful for what I have too.

Probably Pieces of You by Jewel, it's like so true

lot ofkerli songs

lately...
Ellie Goulding- Home
I miss home so much right now.

the melody of Für Immer Jetzt by Tokio Hotel really really touches me <3
i love that song and i feel something magical everytime i listen to

Always when I'm sad I listen to Forgotten Children and remember that there are others who are feeling more pain than I do. :/

Forgotten Children is a very deep song

Nightwish- Sleeping Sun
it's so sad...but at the same time it gives so much hope and light

i remember aaaages ago i saw ellie on this random tv show talking about her new album.. so i went and got her album without ever even listening to any of her songs.. and i love the entire album. and now its so strange to see how everybody's talking about her because she was like this unknown girl who i liked to listen before i went to sleep!

oh...I thought she got famous when she released her album in 2010? Starry Eyed was her 1st single and came out 2010 as well.
but I also see she has been active since 2007...

well ages ago i meant 2010 :D LOL well anyway, it was way before she got famous! like.. she released the song and then it took ages for it to be played.

Kerli-The Creationist
Ludovico Einaudi-Fly

Scar Tissue ~ Kerli

Yeah, I know Selena Gomez did her own little version, but I like Kerli's better. Her voice is soft and makes me think that everything will be okay when it isn't... things have been hard lately and the song just makes me feel better.

Kabul Shit by Lily Allen. She has a way of turning the most depressing songs into a peppy song. And of course, most of Kerli's songs.

i love Einaudi! i have two of his albums that i listen to before sleeping. It's so relaxing and he has a way of putting emotion into his pieces.

Misery Business by Paramore makes me feel like a badass <3
Walking on air really changed me <3
I also like robyn dancing on my own
Sanctuary by Utada Hikaru
And Everytime You Go by Ellie Goulding
All of these songs have a special place in my hearttt

Great topic!

Epica - Quietus
"See, hear the torture inside
Devouring what was left of my pride
You thought it's not going to happen to you,
thought you could hide
Deprived of my own, innocence denied"
were pretty much like straight from my life so somehow it made feel i'm not alone years ago

Epica - Never Enough
This one made me appreciate all that i got.

Epica - Design Your Universe
It's such an positive message so i started studying quantum physics and learned a lot about the world and myself

Kerli - Walking On Air
WOA really took away the worst depression and it made me want to be better person and try more!

Three songs in particular have had a massive impact on me and my life:

Kerli - Walking On Air
It always makes me feel like I can be anybody I want to be, regardless of other people's thoughts or opinions. I consider it the theme song to my soul.

Kerli - The Creationist
This one makes me think about all the good and beauty in the world. It spoke to me so much when I first heard it, it's like the song of my innocence and happiness. During hard times, it lets me know that there is a lot right with my life - this was especially important to me the first time I listened to it. I knew I wasn't alone.

Alice Cooper - Stand
This is the song that got me thinking about showing who I really am to the world, instead of worrying so much about what other people might think if I seem strange. It told me word for word what I really needed to do to move on, how I could change my thoughts about myself and others for the better. It began a massive revelation for me, like Kerli's music did when I first fell in love with it, except with Kerli it was more of a gradual, unconscious realisation that there really were others like me. This song inspired me to actively think about how things needed to change, then act on it more decisively than at any other time in my life. It brought out my courage. All of this could be ripped straight from a book of my life:

"Just a face in the crowd
Feelin' lost, down and out...
Millions more just like you
Afraid to do what they wanna do...

Lots of losers hanging round
Only there to bring you down
Get your feet up off the ground..."

And now I'm living by these words from the same song. "Put your hands in the sky, let your freaky colours fly"

Several Hatsune Miku songs have inspired me to experiment with new vocal effects.
Vahinkolapsi - Kurja Ihminen inspired me to write songs in Finnish.

Hm.

I can't really think of any insanely influencial songs.

I guess Darlin by Avril Lavigne...
And several Kerli songs, such as Supergirl.

Most of the songs that have influenced me are very ballad-like and empowering, mostly by female artists.
