Top 10 influential songs


Hello again! Following yesterday’s blog, I realized that there are also quite a few songs that will stick with me for the rest of my life. Unlike all the books, however, all of these will stick with me because of their emotional impact. Most of these are on here because they remind me of the circumstances in my life surrounding the time I downloaded them (but they still sound freaking amazing, too). There are a few, though, that just rock my world ‘cause they’re so cool sounding. Here we go!

1. O Magnum Mysterium – Morten Lauridsen

This reminds me of the end of spring semester 2007, when I was kind of going through my own little enlightenment period of my life. Always fun to play in a pitch dark room at volume = 100%.

2. Nothing Else Matters – Metallica

Reminds me of Spring Break 2008. That’s all you need to know.

3. Life Is Beautiful – Vega4

(no embedding and live, but still good)
Another song that reminds me of the end of spring semester 2007. A very beautiful song.

4. Farewell – Apocalyptica

This one’s just badass.

5. Hide And Seek – Imogen Heap


I think I found this song randomly in an iMix one day. The one in the first link is freaking amazing, but the second link is amazing in a different way. Wait till you hear the piano at the end.

6. Summer (Part III) – Vivaldi

Yay.

7. Fix You – Coldplay

Sad, sad, sad memories. This is my “I’m depressed” song.

8. Breathe Me – Sia

Listen to this song, then bask in the feeling of hopelessness and loneliness it conveys. This is what I listen to when I feel that way.
Also, Sia rules.

9. Fitter, Happier – Radiohead

This song is creepy as hell, but strangely wonderful.

10. Tannhaeuser Overture – Wagner

Badass.
