There are some bands out there who can have such a profound affect on your life. First you feel melancholy. Then the thoughts come on hard. Songs like Radioactive, Manhattan, and (yes, I know) Knocked Up open the floodgates to new thoughts and ideas whenever they come on the radio. Granted, some of the lyrics may not reflect the aura they cast, but listen to them. They make you want to change your life and make a difference.
It's strange how much music can affect your life. These songs make you feel deep; sad almost. It takes such depth and experience to write these things, but it also takes hard, raw, soul. If you listen to Caleb Followill's voice, you may notice that it's not groundbreaking. But the way he uses it can bring you to tears. He sings with so much feeling and emotion, and whenever a song of his comes on, people unconsciously stop talking and listen to it. They inspire people to reflect on things, and think deeper than your normal fleeting thoughts. So today, I'll post three songs instead of just one. Please take some time right now to listen to them -- they change my life every time I hear them.
Songs of today: "Radioactive", "Knocked Up", and "Manhattan" by Kings of Leon
