Intro To Songs That Changed The World

We had a great but brief reunion and during this get together, Darren asks a conversation starting question (as he likes to do). This time instead of playing "this or that" he asks the question...

Name a song that has profoundly changed your life.

Jeremy says he knows my song: "Love Song For A Savior" by Jars of Clay and others quickly agree. I'm nailed - of course I must mention this song, but am I allowed only one song that has profoundly changed my life? I hope not!

As musicians and music lovers we understand the power of music to speak at multiple levels and make emotional, soulful, even spiritual connections. So I decided to create this blogsite for us friends to talk about our life-changing songs.

I'd like to suggest that we each blog about our own life-changing song and then we can comment to each other about it. Since this is the initial post, perhaps Darren or Chris would like to post with the title of their life-changing song and a little explanation as to why its important.

James mentioned "Kokomo" by the Beach Boys. We'll need him to elaborate on that one. Darren later mentioned by phone, "Sing sing sing" by Benny Goodman. Go on, elaborate Darren.
