welcome to a world of lifesaving lyrics

hello bloggers.
i've decided to create a blog just for songs that have had a big influence on me. the reasons - and how much they affected me - vary. but i hope it will be interesting for other people.
some people seem to be really affected by music, while for others it is just background noise or cheap entertainment. i'm one of those who is really affected, and it is a huge part of my life. i'm not particularly gifted at making music myself (probably as i always forget to practice) and i'm not the best journalist in the world, but i hope my enthusiasm and passion for it is evident from my writing here!
please feel free to add comments - i would like to know that i am not the only one on earth who has had their life changed by music! - and, if you're really keen, you can contact me to request being added to this blog as a contributor.
you can also check out my regular blog at http://helfire.blogspot.com plus my other blogs (including the picture blog and the mullet blog). i know it seems like a lot of little blogs but i didn't want my main blog to get too clogged up with stuff. i'll be back soon to start adding songs to this blog.
see ya later...
helen.
