What songs or music have had an impact on you?
Well, there was a time when I would strap on my toy six shooter, strut around drawing it out, while listening to Marty Robbins' Big Iron. I failed to become a gun slinger though.
Later it was Alice Cooper's […]
Just completed a piece featuring the silhouette of ancient ruins and trees against a vibrant sky, beautifully mirrored in calm waters. What emotions does this scene evoke for you?

"7 Seconds" by Youssou N'Dour and Neneh Cherry
This was unexpected global hit from 1994, from Senegalese and Swedish musicians, sung in the West African language Wolof, French, and English.
From Wikipedia:
The title and refrain of the song refers to the first moments of a child's life; as […]

My YouTube feed automatically ran into this one but it fits - hard to argue that this song hasn't had a major impact 🙂 Wonder if Mr Astley ever envisaged he'd be doing this song at Glastobury 38 years after its first release?
Especially love the security […]

Music whose impact on me I did not realise until comparatively recently and it's because when of this hashtag, when I realised how often Roxette songs would come to mind.
First discovered them in Sweden a bit before they broke in the US, visiting my parents […]
A song by 25 artists from North Africa and the Middle East, published nearly 2 years ago.

Likewise, this is the first Springsteen song I can remember hearing, leading to another life-long obsession.
Bruce Springsteen - Cadillac Ranch
Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up your engines, let 'em roar
Tearing up the highway like […]

Suspect I probably had heard other Iron Maiden songs before this but this was the first one that made me pay attention, because the opening lines from the Book of Revelations.
Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast
I left alone, my mind was blank
I needed […]

And another from Frank Turner. Pretty much sums up my thoughts about the state of the world.
Frank Turner - 1933
But I don't know what's going on anymore
The world outside is burning with a brand new light
But it isn't one that makes me feel warm
Don't go […]

Frank Turner was also our last gig in London before we left for New Zealand. Good thing this wasn't released at the time or we would have been wrecked. Even now, I can feel a little lump in the throat as I listen to it while I type!
Frank Turner - Farewell […]

Watched the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics fully expecting a car crash but actually found something rather inspirational in its portrayal of a Britain proud of its history, willing to acknowledge it wasn't perfect and comfortable of its place […]

One from my very first case of unrequited love...
Hall and Oates - Every Time You Go Away
Babe, if we can't solve any problems
Why do we lose so many tears?
Whoa, so you go again
When the leading man appears
Always the same thing
But can't you see we've […]

Similarly, there came a time when this went from being just a great song to a very relatable one too!
Rush - Time Stand Still
Time stand still
I'm not looking back, but I want to look around me now
Time stand still
See more of the people and the places […]

Big moment when I realised this was now my personal anthem!
Bon Jovi - Older
I've been up and down and in between
After all these years
Can you believe I'm still chasing that dream
But I ain't looking over my shoulder
I like the bed I'm sleeping in
It's […]

First heard this in the midst of my first and very painful breakup and it certainly helped me through. Comparing notes with a fellow fan many years later, seems I'm not the only one!
Big Country - Alone
Alone inside my head
Alone inside my room
I feel […]

And first heard this the first time I went to see The Men They Couldn't Hang live - this time, a song about the counter demonstrations against a march through London by the British Union of Fascists.
The Men They Couldn't Hang - Ghosts Of Cable Street

First heard this on Radio One when my radio alarm went off in my first year. Took a while for me waking brain to realise I really was listening to a song about a mutiny in the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic wars. This may have kicked off a political […]
