Oh well that would be Jesus Christ Superstar
I was about 9 years old when i first heard this first on the West End Stage back in the 1970s and later i watched the film version. This hit me emotionally as even as young as i was, i was already searching far reaching relgious questions and answers. My school reports are evidence of this too, i was even criticised for paying attention to other faiths as well! Today the teacher would be slated for making such a comment. But anyway this song does symbolise my deeply spiritual side and my search for answers.
Another song that made me think was Another Brick In the Wall
Again this was because it made me think. It is a song about how people are being controlled and made to adhere to the way Government wants us to think, and not have our own views and opinions. This song is still relevant today. We are becomming a nation of sheeple. That is human beings who act like sheep. Following but do not think or protest. For example why do not people protest against the oil companies over the oil spill in America. We are so passive! And the Government knows it. This is applicable to many countries around the world too.
Finally Everybody Hurts by REM
This haunts me because it has very personal signifcance to me. I see alot of myself in it. I empathise with the lyrics and the mood of this song because i have been there far too many times, it is only now that i have revealed to the world my up until now secret battle with depression which i have hidden trom the world for so very long. I also had a friend who commited suicide. i think of her often and it angers me still the circumstances leading to her suicide. She is much missed.
