Hej peeps,

Was wondering if you guys have any songs that are somehow very special/important for you.

For me it will have to be the Swedish song; Vart jag än går and the Russian song; Сердце пацана

Vart jag än går (Wherever I go) - [www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1Oin4lHlXU]
Сердце пацана (Serdce pacana [Heart of a lad]) - [www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzWggCnYVWU]
(Don't know if clicking works; if not you will have to manually copy-paste it ^^)

Why? .. difficult to explain (like most things that are on my mind xd) but I will try.

-Vart jag än går; its lyrics somehow always touched my heart. Even though at first I didn't understand any word (I'm not Swedish xd) I got grasped by its foreign words and pulled into the emotional story without knowing/realizing or understanding anything that was hapening. Its soothing chorus could bring me to tears when I felt down or sad but somehow pulled me out of the mess I ended up in; as it made me realize I wasn't alone. This song was also the reason why I started studying Swedish on my own.

-Сердце пацана; a slightly different story. I have the feeling this lad told my story. He shares my way of thinking, he acts like I do, he questions like I do.. it all comes down to self-identification I guess. The search for someone to hold on to, knowing that that person won't - as he says it beautifuly - 'take my dreams ... thrust the knife and cut my soul' Luckily I now found my 'frost, whose colors paints my whole soul, turning my world into a beautiful winter' :3
Even though I have never been a rap fan, this song, especially the second part, gives me shivers every time I listen to it.

Hope you guys have some interesting stories to share! :D

My musical tastes are pretty plebian, but here goes... Normally I listen to peppy music to help me get through my boring daily tasks. I like swing music lately. But I will try to think of the songs that I like when I'm feeling melancholy... Mostly they seem to be 70s pop songs - "Sound of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkle, "Come Sail Away" by Styx, "Matthew" by John Denver.

Another one that speaks to me is this one from Bach "Harpsichord Concerto No. 1 in D Minor" (or whatever... I don't know much about music LOL)

There is another one that sometimes helps me when I'm depressed. "Under a Serpent Sun" by At the Gates. Sometimes that is cathartic.

This song is the perfect expression of my soul. It invokes within me profound Celestial and Infernal feelings...​

This. So much this. Not just because the lyrics and music are beautiful, but also because I first listened to it when I was transitioning to being an atheist. That was a very sensitive time for me, and Imagine hit very close to home.
