What song do you wish you had written?

I only heard this a month or so ago. It's the Jimmy Webb, Highwayman's song reworked from a women's perspective

It includes the brilliantly goth-y line

"I heard 'witchcraft' in the whispers and I knew my time was done"

Share a song that changed your perspective on music.

I thought I should pick a punk song for this prompt as punk changed our perspectives on music and much else.

Then I decided I'd pick the earliest punk or new wave song I bought at the time

A bit of googling tells me it would have been this one, in 1978

God, I'm old

Think back to your childhood: What is your earliest music memory? Share that song and your story!

I remember asking my mum and dad what this song was about, and at the time nobody really knew

It was possibly the start of a lifetime of being, ultimately, mystified by pop music.

What song makes you feel like anything is possible?

I'm not religious, but when I listen to songs like this make me wonder.

I'm not entirely sure the words fit today's prompt...but the song as a whole has an optimistic and uplifting feel

It was number 500, so exactly half way in Dave Marsh's 1001 songs book

What's your favorite song about moving forward?

Hopefully you only move forwards on an Autobahn...and the song has a feeling of moving along, I think.

I prefer the live version because I like to hear the cheering

Share a song that feels like it's giving you permission to feel everything.

I didn't listen to this song properly when it came out, but I heard Switched on Pop - The Beatles: "Now and Then" and Forever recently and it made me appreciate the song much more. I found the podcast quite moving in itself.

One of the bits they pointed out was that there is a count of 1-2 at the start, rather than the usual 1-2-3-4....and they suggested that was a reference to the number of remaining Beatles

What's your favorite song about patience?

I'm not sure if this song constitutes patience, or persistence. Maybe it's a patient persistence?

It's from Elvis' time at Sun

Child #1 was always musical, but I didn't know she could sing until I heard this
