Do songs really have the ability to *save* a person's life?
I truly beleive they do, or they at least empower people to deal with situations that if they hadn't heard a particular song, they'd run away from. I've always said that Morrissey's music has saved my life, but technically it's changed it. When I first started listening to The Smiths/Morrissey at the age of 16, I felt releived, I would sit around in my room listening to songs like "Well I Wonder," "Reel Around the Fountain" and "Seasick, yet Still Docked" for hours. I remember those days very clearly, and I remember feeling understood...or at least kind of understood. People used to always think that I was depressed because all I listened to was Morrissey's voice, but I wasn't and I'm still not.
Being so touched by Morrissey's lyrics inspired me to become a better person, and to feel as passionate about other things as I feel about Morrissey. Morrissey's music helped me love. It's funny because now, about 5 years later, I haven't changed my feelings about The Smiths/Morrissey. I still listen to them non-stop and I still quote a Morrissey lyric for almost any bad situation in my life. Instead of the music secluding me, it helped me get closer to people I love.
How about somebody else, how has Morrissey *saved* your life?
