Five Songs That Changed You For Good
I’m curious.

Mine are, in no particular order:
- Willie Nelson, “September Song,” off of Stardust
- Nelly, “#1,” from Nellyville, for this I will not apologize
- Patsy Cline, “I Fall to Pieces,” from Showcase
- Modest Mouse, “Gravity Rides Everything,” from The Moon & Antarctica
- Electric Light Orchestra, “Telephone Line,” off of A New World Record
So?
