Share an unlikely song that you have a strong connection with. Mine? Out Of Control.
I have such a love for this song. Firstly, because it is an utterly beautiful song, but secondly because it changed my life.
When I went off to college and my university provided access to a music streaming service for students. A world of music opened up for me. Because I had access to so much music and no longer had to buy/borrow/burn/import CDs, I started branching out more.
I knew vaguely of some Neil Young songs (some "greatest hits"), but had never really given CSNY a shot. I had always heard of them, so I thought I would give it a try.
So, on this streaming service, I searched them out. I saw their albums and picked one at random.
Looking Forward.
I tend to avoid listening to title tracks right off the bat because I always assume they have special significance and I want to save it for later. So, I chose a song at random.
Out of Control.
I loved it. It was not what I thought NY was. Because of this, I dug into Neil's catalog.
If I didn't just randomly select this song, I may have never exposed myself to any of Neil's catalog.
I am forever grateful for this song. I love it because it is an amazing song, but more so because of what it represents and how it changed my life.
I felt like it's one that isn't ever mentioned and it deserves its own thread.
